Building a DIY Pergola

- In this video we are building a DIY backyard corner pergola! See more in the description for the full list of materials we used.
We had trouble finding a triangle shaped pergola that was big enough (and still within our budget) for the space we wanted, so we decided to build one ourselves from scratch. All of the materials we used were picked up from our local hardware store, and all of the wood was cut and stained from stock. We did not follow any specific plans, and cut everything to fit as we went.
Hardware:
Post Base - amzn.to/3nRTAUa
Deck Joist Tie - amzn.to/3nV3NiL
Angled Rafter Hanger (left) - amzn.to/3h7LPbe
Angled Rafter Hanger (right) - amzn.to/3ern606
3-1/2" Structural Screw - amzn.to/3vR1nEH
5-1/2" Structural Screw - amzn.to/3uqnVM6
Decorative Washers - amzn.to/3uD8alf
Rafter Clips - amzn.to/2SAACpL
Lumber (stock dimensions):
Posts - 6" x 6" x 8'
Beams - 2" x 8" x 16'
Rafters - 2" x 6" x 16' and 2" x 6" x 8'
Strapping - 1" x 2" x 8'

that fence wall is every homeowner dream.
I love the triangular shape to fit into the corner.
Turned out great! I actually just came for the concrete footing video, but ended up watching this video to see how it all turned out. Lol I learned a lot. Thanks
I was totally overthinking my project and you made it so easy and cost efficient
Looks like a El Paso TX Wall in the background. Lived around the country and only see these type of rock walls there.
You got it!
Nice job !
Looking forward to seeing
What else you guy's do...
Well done .
This is a very well put together pergola. Nice job! Thank you for sharing and for the details.
Just beautiful great job!!!! Can’t wait for your next project.
Looks fantastic! The spacer block is a great idea 👍👍
I'm quite impressed with your way of doing this
That came out great!

You did an awesome job! Enjoy
Thank You so much for this excellent tutorial.
Great job, very helpful!
That turned out awesome !!! GOD Bless 😇👍🏼
that stain made all the difference wow
Sweet!
Great job building that pergola. I see some of your neighbours have trees that provide shade as well that could be an option if it is shade you're after.
very beautiful great job thank you for giving me the confidence to built one in my back yard
Good work! Looks fantastic!
FANTASTIC! THANKS FOR SHARING.
Finally, someone using proper ppe. Congratulations, you are not one of darwins victims
Lovely job
I'm going to build exactly this in my yard, thanks for the materials list and the step-by-step instructions.
Thanks for watching and good luck!
you did a nice job...your son is awesome!!!!!
Nice job, looks great
Great job!
Great job👍!
Great job 👏
Great job!!!
Thank you. I love it. I have a similar project in mind with a koi pond. Thank you!
Great job!! this turned out AMAZING!!! Thank you for sharing, I have been wanting to build our own but every video I watch makes it look too complicated lol, I love this design!
Great Corner pergola!!
Looks great!
Great video, thanks!
Nice job, it looks great against the natural stone fence
Brilliant! I've just started laying the patio and while digging out was planning a pergola build in my head.... this is pretty much exactly the same as what I had come up with. I had some reservations over the design/build, which you addressed perfectly.
Great build and renewed my confidence to do my own!
Good luck on the build and thanks for watching!
great video! Made it a really approachable project!
Great pergola. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I saw some pergola online for so much more. I fellow your video step by step. Wow.. it was easy. I wish I could post my 📸 for you to see. It came out great. My wife is so happy, to say the least. Thanks again. It's a great video.
Very nice guys! ❤❤❤
Really nice and the baby is so cute
Thany you for sharing your experience. I made my own triangular pergola on decking and everyone is blown away with it! Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!! Thanks so much for watching!
Very professional.
Really nice job. Looks amazing. Hope you and your family have many many years of enjoyment with it.
I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
Quality job. Fair play.
thats a great stone wall!
NICE WORK NICE VIDEO. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Nice job
Very cool!
This looks fantastic! We are gearing up to build one in our backyard and this gave us some great guidance
Thanks for the kind words, good luck!
Very nice! We'll done.
Very nice.
Thanks man you have helped me
Wow-zer! Really great job. Turned out gorgeous!
Marvelous
nice job❤
I love it
Nice!
great project. prior to seeing this video I recently built a pergola/shade cover for my father in law (you can see my most recent video if you're interested) and I was like "hey, I used the same products!" haha! We used a couple other Outdoor Accents parts also. Keep up the great work! 👊🏻
This turned out awesome! Absolutely love that wall bordering your backyard as well. Do you have a video of that construction?
Unfortunately not. These walls are a city-wide feature. Every home lot has these rock walls on the side and rear yards. It's certainly unique!
That came out great, Looks like you might live in the Great City of El Paso Tx looks like my neighborhood on the east side montwood area. Great work man.
Ripper,
Now you need some green on the stone wall

Muchas gracias por el video. Tengo que hacer una igual pero con algo de inclinacion para poner techo,para tapar un horno. Me ha encantado. GRACIAS
Nice job! You just forget the washer when you install the third post. I think it will be ok. Please, what is the final cover's size of the pergola? Thank and again, good job!
Good works. But I believe the Design Cutting at the Woods Edge will be much Nice looking had you cut it the Opposite way as most Pergola I saw at UA-cam.
Hello! I mimicked your pergola for my back deck! Thank you so much! Where did you start the 1x2s on the top?
I'm in the process of designing and starting our pergola. I am torn about using the simpson screws vs a good size bolt through all 3 boards. Even my lumber place ( not big box ) was suggesting to use carriage bolts. Nice work.
If it helps your decision, they have held up great through 3 years! Carriage bolts would of course be a fine option too. Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!
Nice
Very informative and nicely done,I have a but! The music for me was waaaaaay to loud at times, sorry
Thanks for the heads up! Still working out the kinks on the editing process.
I was enjoying the video… but..your comment put me off ..sorry
great job.. a question for you... is there any adjustment on the level of the post brackets? i want to do this but concerned if i dont get the base 100% flat and level the posts wont be 100 % straight
Great job! It looks amazing. We are looking to build something the same and your material list is very helpful, however I don't see anywhere where it says the size or measurements between the 6x6 posts. Can you tell me what size the pergola is and what the distance is between the center of the footings (distance between the cement bolts).
For the two sides that run along the wall, the bolts are 10 feet from each other, which puts the long front side at a distance just a hair over 14 feet (170 inches).
Love the look of the stain. What stain did you end up using?
Great Idea - here in Yuma me and my wife have designed a three legged pergola, and "wha-la" your video is helpful similar to our sizes has well. Our idea is to put a lightweight swing chair inside, the purchased chair is a Wayfair product that will hold up to 600lbs. Do you think the 2 x 6 rafters or 2 x 8 beams will sustain the weight? Also the center cross beam i don't think you put the hardware for those. I'm assuming they are a left & right hand 2 x 8 joist hanger from Simpson strong tie or other? Instead of ordering or purchasing 2 I presume it would be 4 si or no?
is the 3 posts strong and secured when we try shaking it to see how strong it is?
I have done the same but all the posts seem to be squeaky when shaking?
couldn't help but notice that fence
Great production of your process! Do you think that the 2 rafter straps on either end is enough to keep them from pushing over in a strong wind? I’m getting ready to start a similar process of pergola/deck. Thanks!
I ended up adding a third clip to the longer rafters that attached to that extra support beam that went across the middle. The longest ones have three but the shorter ones still have only 2. We've been hit with several wind storms since completion, one got up to 75+mph gusts, and it's still holding up beautifully. Thanks!
Wondering why you didnt bury the posts into the concrete rather than putting the post on top of the concrete?
Is there a way to coat these wooden beams and posts with a coating that has a composite-like qualities? Something that would give a uniform, glossy look, and at the same time provide protection from elements, rotting, mould, and other impacts? Nice job by the way.
Excellent job on this entire project. Your videos are well done and easy to follow. Was there a technical reason why you went beam to post as opposed to hanging the side beams using deck ties on the back post?
No reason other than cost. If they were visible I would have added matching ties. Hasn't presented any issues so far. Thanks for your kind words!
@@HouseholdHowTo Thanks.
Do you have more info on the fabric you used? Looks fantastic!
Nice work! Thanks for posting...I'm wanting to build a smaller pergola/arbor and needing to make some design decisions. Do the structural screws come from both sides on the footers? Do the screws line up so they hit each other if coming from both sides? I've been wondering how those Accent Line Simpson ties hold up.
Thank you! Yes, the screws for the footers do come in from both sides and the holes don't appear to be offset from each other. I did not run into any issues with them running into each other. My assumption is that because they are a smaller diameter than your typical lag or carriage bolt, they can deflect to the side if the tips do manage meet.
All of the strong tie hardware has held up great at a little over a year out. We've had some monster wind storms (one reached 75+ mph) and so far the structure hasn't so much as flinched. I'll definitely use them again.
Ok good to hear! Thanks for the reply!
Nice Job! String lights to finish it off for the nighttime?
Love this
How are the painted joist hangers working? did the paint peel off by now?
El Paso maybe??
Great job and absolutely love those brackets saves time p*ssing about notching in and they certainly look the part. However impossible to find any decorative brackets of this standard in UK - extremely frustrating. Looks like my only choice is to order from US get bent over the table on shipping fees then a good old fisting from UK customs on import tax. Am sure it will be worth it though.
Wtf that stone fence is insane
What shade fabric material did you use? And how is it holding up?
I thought they used a canvas or tyvec
Fantastic!! Does pressure treated lumber need to be sanded and if so, did you do all the sanding before putting any of the structure up?
I chose not to sand anything to avoid compromising the protective treatment, and also because everything was still fairly wet when it was assembled. So far things have held up fairly well. Thanks for watching!
Do you have a link to the fabric you used on top of the pergola? Thank you
Very nice.
Is the rock wall something you did, or the developer?
Next, the patio with a fire pit in front of the pergola...
Nice job!
Currently halfway through building just that! Excited to have it finished. Thank you!
I live int the SE, hurricane area, would those footers hold up?
Hello, what brand and color stain did you use? Thank you!
