- We built a DIY pergola that transformed our patio into the new favorite hangout spot. The Toja Grid bracket system made this DIY patio project easier than we thought.

Least favorite part about it: it’s not at my house! Awesome build man
My least favourite is the devils horns hand gestures at the start.. Fuck baphomet
@@Jimmy-2-Times 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
Соблюдайте правила безопасности прячти волосси под каску 😂
@@Jimmy-2-Timesсогласен с вами
@@Jimmy-2-Times In my experience, most people just do that to mean 'rock and roll,' not a literal reference to some obscure demon they've probably never even heard of. In the 80's & 90's (in the US) the hair-metal bands' fans popularized this. Pretty sure any allegiance to an evil spirit would have been the furthest thing from the mind of 99% of the people doing this hand gesture then & ever since then.
I don't know the guy in the video, but I doubt he actually worships Baphomet. I get it; I agree: Baphomet & devil bad. If he does worship baphomet, I certinaly don't like that. But, he didn't ask for my opinion on his religious beliefs.
Regardless, he should have freedom of speech or I guess freedom of expression via hand symbols.
I honestly didn't even notice it and had to rewatch the video to see what you were talking about.
My favorite part is when the people show up to help you.
The concrete workers just happened to be in the area 😂
My favorite part is family enjoying it together. Be thankful for that yall, never take a minute for granted!
That's
*BEAUTIFUL* !!!
Put one on the other side and build an outdoor kitchen with a grill + outdoor pizza stove. You can also add a bar with a small refrigerator so one person can cook on that side while guests chill on the other. That would be so amazing all summer!!! Everyone can see everything as it's happening and the ambiance makes a mood. 🤤.
#Goals. 🏆.
So basically it's a roof with big gaps. Doesn't block the sun or the rain. 😂
We installed one for an Architect, & ripped 2x4's 4 inch down to 2 inch, & set metal roofing on it. 2 inch slope was enough to shed the rain
That's what I was thinking. Don't see too many of these in the Deep South. lol
@@jonathanbeam6898 That's what we call a Pole Barn. lol
You can train vines up it or get cloth pieces to drape through it, or attach a piece of lattice work over the top... ideally the slats should be oriented such that it provides some shade. Overhanging the slats would help extend the coverage, too. But, mostly it creates a "room" feeling, if not a ton of real privacy or weather protection. :)
@@pamelah6431 I was thinking vines would help with the sun, but it would take a while for them to grow that long. You don't see many pergolas in the deep south.
What we do have a lot of are gazebos.
The design of this is impractical, building the top first then bottom requiring so many hands. Building a pergola is a one man job, when building it from the ground up, keeping it real.
You're right, they didn't need any of the joiners, just a drill and screws
Ground up, ground up, ground up
Nice job, the peroni at the end looked good.
Bro who cares ?? They got it done as a team ! wtf? Who are you ? you sound like a big ass hater that just wants to hate because they can’t afford to make their own. Shut your mouth.
They lost me at the skid steer
That's a damn fantastic pergola! Just what I want to do at home
This is exactly what I've been looking for 😍, thanks Brandon!
You’re welcome 🤘
Love it!! Next time use the 6x6 to lift from the middle of the pergola for the height to do the third leg and the last leg should be a breeze. Great job and great esthetics!!
Bro...im not this guy, but this kit...im rebuilding my back porch and it couldn't have popped up at a better time. Thanks
I totally agree, I'm in the same spot and looking to build something like this also, awesome!
Looks great when it’s all together! These kits are EXPENSIVE, but if you like the look and have the money it is well worth it.
How expensive we talkin? Like for a setup he did?
Nice job, bro. Perfect little project for a hangout and affordable
A hangout. No pun intended 😂
😂
Looks great!
For anyone struggling with raising a similar build, it might be helpful to cut some scrap braces to support it as you go.
Most favourite part...the beer break at the end. Your project is great!
Wish I knew about this before I hired a childhood friend of my kids to build mine. 6x6 are still standing but everything else had fallen down and or cracking apart.
Family DIY is on
Thanks so much for posting this!!
♥️♥️♥️
It looks very easy when you watch the video, but it's a lot of work. This is so beautiful! I wish I had a troupe of young guys to help me. There is no way I could ever do this 😢
It's a weekend project. It's doable at any skill level.
I am a reasonably strong man and 6x6's are very heavy. They weigh something like 11 pounds a foot for Southern yellow pine. I don't think anyone should try to do this by themselves. Maybe three guys and a skid steer could do it.
Same here. I've only got my two kids, a teenager and a young adult and neither one are worth squat when it comes to DIY stuff or getting their hands dirty. Not even to help dear old mom 😑.
That I'm resourceful. I do a lot of stuff by myself anyway so I have to figure out how to build something temporary like a crutch, or rent a hydraulic something or other
@@TwinMcQuerns just did it on my own in my parents yard. Its all about thinking lol. You only need to lift one post at a time if you plan it right.. you DONT skrew 4 posts and 4 corner brackets together and try to lift it. Thats extremely dumb xD
@@Mikael-jt1hk Good for you. You should make a video. Plenty of people would watch it. Send me a link when it is done. 👍
Do it yourself, with the help of 4 friends, a concrete crew and a skid steer 😂😂😂 It is nice though
Right!, "do it yourself pergola". Two seconds later, the whole neighborhood is helping 😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like you could easily adapt this into a garage. I like it.
Looks bad ass! Been shopping for something similar ever since I allowed my better half go to Costco unsupervised 😂. Came back with pics so excited to show me. I'll be sure to share your video with him and check out the vendor you used.
My favorite part is the fact that you did it!! Great job and it looks fantastic!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Beer bottle opener was my favourite part
Absolutely awesome 👌 ❤
That looks sharp. Thanks for the inspiration.
Not bad guy! Just a couple tips. The top of the pergola is just rafters, not a roof. It has no sheathing or roofing. The corner hardware is a bracket, the ones for the rafters are hangers. Also you shouldn't paint or stain pressure treated lumber until is has weathered for 6 months to a year. The moisture from the treatment will surface and push off the paint. Keep keeping on though!
Can I use a stain/preserver that says it's suitable for use on wet timber?
@@APDDD555he said to not use it until it weathered for 6 months to a year…
Concrete screw type and size please?
6 month wait is too long from experience. The pressure treated wood dries and cracks and twists and checks. Don’t wait even two months in hot weather. 2 weeks to a month and stain or paint. UNLESS you like cracked checked wood.
Of course you use oil base primer.
That is very cool, well done big man, BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Looks super relaxing !!!
Very cool. Love it.
That’s badass! 🤘🏻
Love it all!
This is amazing. Great work.
😎👍 *_NICE!_*
Looks great!
You look like a metalhead and a DIY Guru. That's fine in my book. Subscribed. Great looking project by the way. Cheers bro!
🍻
Least favorite the 6x6 kit! Most favorite the deco! 👏👏👏
Yeah, the kit is pretty basic, but the deco was on point
All favorite !!!
I build my myself without any help. Single men project. I used regular hardware from Home Depot. Started from fixing legs like for any deck. Than adding top board one by one. They are light, not like the whole structure.
Yeah that's a better way to do it. Don't fight gravity
@@thomasr1051i was thinking the same thing but I'm a woman 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣‼️
@@frantyi6424 you can still work smart not hard
That looks awesome!!! 😎
Sweet build. Looks awesome!
Perfect👍👍👍👍
Beautiful
Wow, I like that kit and the project looks real good.
Good job!
Love it!
Favorite part: the beer.
Least Favorite: I’m not drinking it.
Fire!!! My fav part is the fact that there was a diy pack for this!!
I love it
Those corners look clean👍 I would have used a few 2x4 braces and raised those 6 by's one at a time 💪
6x6 really beef's it up....class
I was going to do 4×4 on mine. Because of you, I'm now going for 6×6!!! ❤ for the simple but cozy, comfy look.
Отличный вариант! Спасибо за идею!
Perfect snow load design
He's in Nashville, and there's no roof. Wut da fugg you talmbout, snow load??
Beautiful!!!!!❤
Dope 🔥
Sick work man. Wen buddy said "alright gang," my mind went straight to wen Shane Gillis did that Guy Fieri skit. Iykyk lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
Very nice
Молодцы парни, быстро сделали себе беседку
Well done
Its not do it yourself if you have to invite 10 people to help you :)
And still "could have used a few more hands"
Loooks amazing !!
Beer first, then paint.
Came out nice.
If I ever wished I could save a short, it would be this one. This is a great video!
You should be able to, if you hit the 3 dots in upper right corner. It will give u an option to save to a Playlist 👍🏼
You can save shorts to playlists or you can just like them and they'll end up in your liked videos playlist.
I tap the share icon and send a text (which automatically includes the URL) to my own phone number. I also type in a few words so I can easily identify the video.
Looks amazing good work
I love it 💕
Inspiring work!
Great job 👍🏼 I would love to have This 😊 I would add a bug screen all around 😃
Uuuh lala, great idea, nice job.
I like the way it looks like a pergola
That is slick!
То, что руками умеете с деревом работать - это всегда похвально!Однако похоже 150ый брус был сыроват, просто удивительно как в столько рук не смогли поднять)
Awesome
Looks awesome
Nice!
If you cut those front beams lower by 2 inches and slap a tin roof on it, gutters and downspout, You've got a water collection area! Bury a large tote/cistern and water your plants when they say you can't water )(0
Smart woman
Brother I have to build this at home… love it man
Very nice build!!
Absolutely beautiful🌺
Nice build
Good job man, now time to make the wood for free by bushcrafting the forest behind my crib
Awesome job!!!!
Love it!!
I'm amazed that half a dozen of you couldn't lift one side of it up!
They did raise it. first side went up no problem. they were standing on the slab . 2nd side needed to go a tad higher as they were standing on the grass and you see bro man struggle to stick it into the hardware. So they had to set it down.
I really admire people who know how to build beautiful things from scratch and can handle multiple machinery....very creative 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
From scratch? Lmfaoo
From kit
Very cool!
I jist love it more, becuase he used Ryobi to build all the way!! Many so called PHDs in UA-cam-o-Logy reject Ryobi as underpow tools.
I love Ryobi tools!
Since he didn't do any actual work, the ryobi will suffice. I got a set for my 2yr old nephew for when he plays in the sandbox with his Tonka...
@@DL101ca okay Mr George
Ryobi in all my experience is awful. Haven’t tried it all but the tools I did were terrible and by terrible I mean unusable in as a professional.
@@AG9271-gt7ck what tools were unusable as a professional, may i ask?
Least fave: long hair hanging over power tools. I saw a dude rip off a chunk of his head when his hair got caught in a a drill chuck. Ryobi tools are crap. Fave: You painted it black.
I always thought Ryobi is crap until I bought some Ryobi, heavily abused it and was surprised how well they held up.
Incredible!!!
Looks great 👍👍👍
Amazing 🤩.
Looks great.
Looking good 👍
Круто! Инструмент у них конечно хороший👍
Beautiful project, i love it
My favorite part is how freakin' awesome it looks! 👍
Do you have a full video on this build? This is almost precisely what I need to build.
Very nice!!
Great work, Sir!! 👏🏾
Looks bloody cool, anything that makes construction easier has got to be a bonus...From the UK
Totally bad ass. I don't see why they can't make brackets like that a little bit more heavy duty and use them in Home construction.
Cost
Looks great❤
