DIY Deck (Part 7): How to build a pergola on the deck? No additional footings needed!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- This is #Azek DIY Deck series. Can pergola be built on a deck? Yes, I did that successfully. If your deck frame is strong enough, there is no additional footings needed. But there are some concerns about wind, I will show you how to properly secure the pergola to the deck frame.
Hope this has some good information if you are planning to build a deck yourself. I hope I can inspire more people to DIY. I am NOT affiliated with any of these products, companies or people, I just want to share my experience as a serious DIYer and try to help other DIY people out there.

I clapped when the 2x10 fit perfectly in the notched 6x6. Well done!
Thanks for support!
Great Job! and nice tip of moving 6x6 with the dolley.
Great video. Very sturdy construction.
very informative, I like your accent, keeps me interested in your explanations, good woodwork, your an 8 out of 10, woodworker, a cut above most DIY I have ever seen. I am a 30-year tradesman, you have had some trade experience for sure.keep up the good work. and videos.
Thank you for your nice comment!!! 8 out of 10 is such a good compliment from a 30 years tradesman. That means a lot, thank you very, sir!
Very Great Information! Thank You!
Thank You so much!
I love your deck and pergola!!!
Thank you! It will be very nice when it is really done.... :)
Great job looks professional.
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing video thank you for your video
Thats so beautiful. It makes me want to upgrade my deck. The issue the budget, you must spend a lot. Just the price of digging already scared me. Thanks for the vdo by the way.
Thanks. The helical pile is expensive, the cheaper option is sonotube with concrete. Floating deck is another option too.
Great job....love the extra support for posting.....I do the same as it maybe overkill but the strength is amazing...
Many do not frame in this manner
Overkill is always better, especially for DIY people. You don't want your project to fail, over engineering is one of the ways to protect it from failing.
10 out of 10!
Hey DIYable!
Nice Work!! I am looking to install a Pergola for my 2nd floor deck. Just think how I would attach to post out front of house?? back side is going to be a ledger board attached to the wall of house . Any ideas on 6x6 post stability?? Thank you in advance!
I think it would have been better to notch the bottom of the post so the weight is carried by the double joist as opposed to the screws and bolts. The screws and bolts then can simply hold the post in place. No?
I have been considering the Costco 12x14 gazebo... Now, I'm rethinking it... :)
Gazebo is good in many ways, it has solid roof and you are sit there even it rains, for mine... I still have to shop for the retractable shades (or DIY one). Those shades are not water proof, you cannot use them in the rain. Overall, I want to build something more unique and special, I didn't plan to buy the factory pre-build. Just FYI.. the size of my pergola is around 11 x 10.
Great video, still since its under floorboards I would tar the bottom of posts and lay it on top of a piece of ice/water tar paper.
Waw, great info great work! Defo thumbs up.. but seeing how complex it is or a good work can be... ill pass on making my own :)
What kind of wood are you using in the video for the porch/base?
Thanks aghnoold
Can you add a porch sqing to your pergola? Would you need to put in footings then?
Hi how can i attach patio roof if my house has plastic sliding?
Could cut the end of those bolts with an angle grinder and cutoff wheel. Great job though
Subscribed! This is good information. I would like to add a 10x10 pergola to an existing deck. I'm thinking of using 4x4 posts for this size. Since the deck is 2ft from the ground would you recommend putting the posts(4×4×12) in a concrete footer? Or use a bracket anchor on a concrete pile? Of course pending Winnipeg permit if needed.
Thanks for the sub! Sorry for late reply, I am catching up the comments. For your footing questions, since your deck is a low level deck and you decided to use 4x4 only, there are more options. 4x4 is actually very light in weight, if you can open your existing deck boards, beef up the joists and you can install the 4x4 just like what I did, with blocking and carriage bolts. I have 6x6 and passed 2 Ontario winters and many wind storms, no issues at all.
The other option is to use "Toja Grid modular pergola system" , they have the 4x4 corners brackets seem to be pretty strong and it's looking pretty modern. I am pretty sure you can may have come across this in your local Lowe's. You can even buy the shade sails! They even have the footing brackets, you maybe able to install on top of your existing deck boards PROVIDED THAT you have enough structural support on the frame.

Hi love all your videos explaining in detail how to go about the pergola. I'm planning on using the m10 carriage bolts tp secure the beam to 6x6 posts. Can you advise what you've used to lock the m10 nut to the penny washer? I can see a lock washer but cant make out if its a spring washer?
Thanks and glad it helped. I was using galvanized split lock washer. Make sure you tighten them very firmly because wood expands and contracts a lot. Most importantly, use blocking like I did because just the carriage bolts aren't not strong enough, you do need to use blockings. Mine survived several severe wind storms without any issues. The only room for improvement I would do is drainage on the blocking, some viewers pointed out some of my blockings didn't provide enough good water drainage and I agreed. Hope that helps.
Many thanks. I've followed your instructions to the tee, and now am very proud of the pergola. Can i ask another question, I notice you use an additional 2x10 beam on only two faces of the pergola (same side you braced). I like this as it saves wood. However, what about the other two sides? Did you just brace the longer length beams?
Try flipping your chisel over and holding the beveled edge on the surface you want flat.
I see your a subaru Crosstrek fan. Great cars.
Wow.. good eyes!!!!
Deck is supported below grade but the post sits on it. Wouldnt heaving affect those posts? Well done series and project by the way!
I believe the deck posts are secured below frost line, so deck should not move
@@davidnsh as far as i see it, deck posts sits and are supported on grade and attached to a piece which is not. Heaving will exerce pressure under that 6*6 which will try to lift the whole thing
Just to clarify. The 6x6 posts of the pergola are not sitting on grade, they are attached to the deck. If you see Part 1 of this series, the majority of the deck posts are Helical Piles, the guys drilled 5 to 5.5 feet down into the soil, way below the frost line (4 feet). In other words, if the deck does not heave, the pergola won't heave either. In the video, I showed you it's sitting on some gravel because I had to install them, I had to put the 80-100 lb post on the ground during installation.
The loading points for the pergola are all on the carriage bolts and some other screws along with blocking. I think I had some video footage showing the pergola posts are actually not touching the ground, I actually removed some of the gravels underneath. I had to find those videos and do a follow-up if you guys are interested.
Great job. Very strong built
But why cover tour face?
I look ugly
I don't understand why you did not used pylex screws for your deck footings.
Yes, I did think about that.... base on the information on the soil condition we have, the clay is extremely hard. Pylex screw will not get passed 2 feet. Check out Part 2 of this project @2:45 and you will see what I mean. Also, for Pergola and Privacy Screen, Pylex screws is not strong enough IMO..

I am also building a flush beam deck approx 1.5 feet high from ground 10 x 32 ft. And to avoid 4 feet digging and frost hive I will dig 2 feet down fill 1 feet with limestone screening and put deck block on top with 4x4 post or pylex adjustable deck support. Let me know your thoughts. Deck will have a storage shed and patio. Thanks
8:32 is there a way of doing this that is good for drainage?
The best way is to use the proper joist tape (DO NOT use bitumen based on Azek PVC)
why did you not put your 6x6 post directly over the deck screw pylons used to hold up your deck then hang your deck boards frames off of them, mite have made it easier for you and helped to carry the loads down to the ground better .
Yes, that's indeed my very original plan, but when the guys came to install the metal piles, one of the the piles hit the rock and the other one was not perfectly align the way I wanted. So I had to change my plan. The metal piles are not as accurate as concrete foundation unfortunately.
I'm not sure how you got a robot to sound so natural!
LOL... You made my day hahaha
I was thinking the same thing
