    I wonder why you didn't seal the structure before erecting it? Handsome final product. From my own experience, I find that concrete is unnecessary and will make rot under the soil line more likely. Crushed gravel mixed with sand can hold the posts without allowing water to collect.

    • @AmplifyDIY
      @AmplifyDIY  2 роки тому

      Hi Christina - Sealing post-install was due mostly to timeline constraints... we were trying to get it installed for a birthday present, and simply ran out of time. It would be easier/more effective to seal it before erecting, for sure. Thanks for the tip on the concrete, and for watching!

    Nice project, would have been great to have added materials cost and approx hours to construct....just to give folk an idea 🙏

    • @AmplifyDIY
      @AmplifyDIY  2 роки тому +2

      Hi GG - you bring up a great point! Lumber prices fluctuate wildly, so nailing down an approximate cost would be difficult. As I recall, this cost right around $1000 USD in materials, including the lumber, stain, hardware, concrete, rental of the post hole digger, etc. The lumber portion of that was around $700, but that was last year before lumber prices really skyrocketed. Today the lumber would likely be roughly double that - though I have not checked on the cost of cedar in my area lately.
      As for time: as I recall I completed the entire project over the course of 4 days. It could be done much more quickly, but filming always at least doubles the time any project takes to complete.

    How nice to have an uncle to help. My uncles all they do is do for themselves, while my mom's house is falling apart right in front of thier eyes, as they live next door like about 200ft away from my mom's house, they live in what used to be my grandmother's house, she's passed from lukemia and 3yrs later my mom passed from 2nd hand smoke lung cancer. I've been trying to keep up with my mom's house but my part time job doesn't help at all, sadly the house is falling apart, and the roof leaks as well. My only brother refuses to help as he lives in an RV behind my mom's house. It's so sad that nobody cares to help with home repairs because me and my daughter and her two kids live in my mom's house. Well like I said God blessed you with a loving family 💕🌹 all I can do is sadly just dream...

    • @AmplifyDIY
      @AmplifyDIY  Рік тому

      In general, putting wood into concrete is not a great idea for many kinds of woods... cedar, however, is one of the species that I'm more comfortable with setting into concrete. It resists rot better, and also and bug infestation. Additionally, I coated the bottoms of the posts before setting them in concrete, to provide an extra layer of protection.
      So far, this trellis has been holding up great!

      Hi Isaac! It's placed on the southern edge of the porch, and we are far enough north that the sun is nearly always in the southern side of the sky. They wanted it mostly for the early evenings, when it would cast a long shadow across the porch... which it did very well. As for seeing through the slats: They planted vines below it, which quickly grew up the slats and formed a nearly solid wall of lush greenery.
      Like you, this is probably not what I would have built for myself, but this is what they wanted, and it works great for them.

    • @AmplifyDIY
      @AmplifyDIY  4 роки тому +2

      Hi there - Cost will vary a lot based on the materials you choose. I built this out of solid cedar, which is not very cheap at all. Pressure treated lumber or plain pine (with a stain/seal to protect against elements) would have been *significantly* cheaper. Using cement as I demonstrate in this video is really the best option if you are using cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated wood. If you are using plain dimensional pine, I would recommend pouring concrete footers but attaching the wood to it using a bracket such as this: amzn.to/3jBxF15
      3 adults should have no problem building and installing something like you describe. Good luck!

      Hi Brainwashing Detergent - Cedar is actually incredibly lightweight wood. A structure this size certainly has some heft to it, but it's not nearly as heavy as if this had been built out of a dense hardwood like Oak. Thanks for watching!

I had an involuntary change of career last summer and instead of trying to get back into that masochistic struggle fest, I’ve changed gears and started a mobile food vending operation last summer. I’ve also had a disposition towards woodworking and I’m trying to figure out how to earn some more income before food vendor season starts. I’m going to give making garden accessories a go!

    • @AmplifyDIY
      @AmplifyDIY  3 роки тому +1

      Hi George - isn't pedantry fun? I assume you really wanted me to call this a patio instead? Actually, it's perfectly valid to refer to this as a porch. "In northeastern North America, a porch is a small area, usually unenclosed, at the main-floor height and used as a sitting area or for the removal of working clothes so as not to get the home's interior dirty, when the entrance door is accessed via the porch." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porch

      I had a VERY tight time crunch, and while I certainly *could* have dug the holes by hand, I didn't have time to do so. Renting a machine was the only way to get the project done in time.
      Also: I'd posit that in a nation of over 330 million very diverse people it's difficult to say what is "typical".

    Very nice. Thank you for sharing
    Two possible suggestion: To keep the 4x4 from rotting use a 6" diameter concrete tube form, fill it to ground level or below, and anchor it to a steel 4x4 post base. Instead of overlapping the horizontal and vertical lattice, join the wood so it can be flush. Thanks again. peace

    Ha! Were they planning to take down the fence? Just out of curiosity, it seems like they have plenty of privacy already? Thanks for the demo! I'm getting ready to do something like this. We don't have a fence, and we were thinking of a pergola and one of those pull down shades, but we aren't looking for more overhead shade in our yard, just some privacy for enjoying a meal on the deck. I didn't know if this 'wall' was a 'thing' or not. My initial design thought looked a lot like what you've made here, so I'm thinking I must have seen something like it somewhere. Anyway, great video! Lots of helpful tips!
