I like this idea but 1 foot isn't deep enough, please consider getting 12 foot posts and putting them a bit deeper in case you get a bad storm. Also, use lumber that's pressure treated to avoid rotting. Really cute results, though!
Looks great! The only thing long-term I would worry about is the post in the planter is going to rot, probably right at the bottom, so keep an eye on that
We had the same issue with our sunshade acting as a sail! We had 120+ lbs of cement in both pots and the other sides attached to the house. The wind maybe 20-25 mph knocked those pots over like there was no cement in them. We just took the sail down as our ground sucks for digging. Onto the next plan. 😂
Great idea! I had paid $8000 plus for a deck to be built and the top wound up dry rotting due to an error of the contractor. Anyhow, this is a wonderful idea for what I have left, which isn't much. Thanks for posting.
Love this idea. I wanted to cover my deck but due to a bay window and a chimney being in the way I was unable to. Please send me your directions and shopping list. Also how did you attached the shade to the house?
Please look up the frost lvl where you are and put posts under that. A good rule is 3' deep but could be more the further north you live! 1' will be pushed up when the ground freezes.
Obviously since they attached it to the existing concrete, they’d be fine. Besides it’s only holding up a sail lol. It’s not like it has real weight pulling on it. They’ll be fine
@@user-os8su5td7eyou have never seen the power of a wind storm apparently. Those posts are gone in 60 seconds of one. They should be in a minimum of 3 ft.
Keep a fire extinguisher on your patio at all times since you are having open fires under the canopy, which might not be the best idea.......Also, without drainage holes in the canopy, it will fill with rain and since the Poles are only down 1 foot the whole thing may collapse.
@@lulujones2279How is it being a downer to point out flaws which may cause the whole thing to collapse? Wouldn't you want to know those things before starting a project?
@@levanahyll5884 For a tarp to hang on, at least 2 feet deep. If you have wooden cross pieces on top, three feet deep with concrete. Don't forget drainage holes of some kind in the top so it doesn't fill with water. Hope this helps!
"I love how we actually have shade now" she says while the only part receiving shade was actually the table. "I put some plants around the post that holds all this up" to speed up rotting the rood and destabilizing the concrete mix...
hi so the sun moves. this was taken early in the morning when the sun was still rising, because i wanted to get some good lighting so you could see the patio set up. this puts off shade for most of the day, if you wanted shade for alllll hours of the day, you would need to be in a box & have all sides covered - that’s what your house is for 😊
Little plants destabilize concrete? Really? I work quality control with cement and that is a bold faced lie. And news flash, the earth rotates, man..of course shade moves too. She didn’t build a sunroom, she built a shady place on her back deck.
Curious to know how did the canopy hold up after a very hard rain With it being straight across will the rain push down it guess poke it with something soft to push off water after every rain? Just curious how its holding up Looks great tho
The 4x4 posts are going to rot within a few years exposed to the wet soil and flowers. I’d recommend taking it off while it’s still new. Cleaning the wood well, then sealing it with exterior paint at a minimum!
Yo Special K…… I’m done🤦🏾♀️. This is amazing! You and your Boo are on a whole new level with your DIY projects. You need your own HGTV show. Absolutely beautiful.
here are the links to everything i used 🫶🏼 liketk.it/48EGv
Thanks so much for a very cool project. I'm going to try it.

Depends on their frost line
Looks great! The only thing long-term I would worry about is the post in the planter is going to rot, probably right at the bottom, so keep an eye on that
Could be remedied with a coating.
Soak them in motir oil used or new fir a week will never rot
If they are pressured treated then it should be an issue... I think there's plastic sleeves moisture barriers
Omg how perfect! And I love the ingenuity of still using the pots!

I love how we actually have shade in our backyard now... proceeds to show patio in full sun, lol.
It was probably evening sun= not as harsh
shade for 1/4 couch
❤ i love it.
Only a foot deep can be dangerous hope you're not an area with high winds

You realise that sails move boats?

Turned out beautifully.
How cute!!!
This is what i want to do now. Looks nice.
This is awesome and something I think I can pull off!
Love it

Thank you! This is just what i was looking for!
Thank you for this video. It inspired me to do my patio.
That's a great idea!
Love this!

I have the posts and planters and string lights already just need to add the sails for shade 😊
WONDERFUL! No one to do it for me but I LOVE IT❤
Do it yourself?
That’s similar to what I want but I have a cement patio where I want to put up a sun shade sail. Any suggestions. Thank you. I love what y’all did.
I love this
Love it❤
I love this please send me the stuff you used
Looks great!! Links to the products used please!
Sweet idea !
Should mention the canopy. That is a very important part.
Great job!!!!!!
Looks nice
Very nice!
Love this❤
Very nice, where did you get the fire pit
Send me links pls . It looks so good I love it
Great idea.
Looks great...
Love it! Can you send me the links.

Could you send me the list of items you used? I would love to create this.
Does the heat from your firepit cause any melting problems on the sail itself?
Thanks for the video
Awesome!
This is great
Details please! This looks amazing
Love this idea! Nice job. Please send links.

It has clips so you could take it down for the winter? That’s what it look like. Love it.
I was thinking the same thing; only put it up when out there.

Looks great ! Where did the canopy come from?
Love your sofa chairs, did you make them in another video?
Links please - looks amazing!!
How did you get the quick concrete off your post after it dried?
Im wondering if a rounder planter would do better with the post?
Good job on your back yard
Looks great… although I would skip the rocks in the planter for the health of the plants…. Laura from GA says soil all the way down
How does the canapy hold up to rain?
This is genius
Details please. It looks great!
Awesome! Link please!
Nice!
Does this flat in the wind at all? Is it loud if dog were wanting to do something like this
I'm looking to do the same
