Great job looks good, just a wee tip when fixing the timber to masonry walls it’s a good idea to put a DPM (plastic barrier) on the wood face that’s against the wall to stop any moisture getting into the wood causing it to rot quicker
Hi Jack, I wonder if you might be so kind to give even more advice on this. For me, the house is dashed. Will this be a problem? I don't want water seeping down the wall and/or staining? Would there be any kind of soft foam type stuff I could put between the wood and the dashed wall that would fill all the little gaps between the dash stones etc?
Thanks for sharing, I love this video, I'm wanting to build something similar but with a roof but I cam definitely take inspiration and tips from yours. That paint looked great and went on super smooth. Good idea for that space and love the pizza oven, yum 🎉
Tip for fixing timber battens (or posts) to a wall. Fix at one end then level across and fix at the other end, then drill and screw all the way along. Saves trying to keep level while trying to mark multiple holes. 👍
Waooo this is cool. in fact i have learnt so much from you guys today i was about giving out a contract to a joiner but this has woken me up, i will give it a go with my wife, thanks Shade well done .
Great job. Stick a rain water gutter / down spout and collection barrel on then put on some clear corrugated sheets and cover the space for year round all weather seating area. Looks great, well done.
Sooo love this, truly what amazes me is the determination you and your partner has on these project's, plus how much savings you both are making for not bringing in the tradesman. Your home is beautiful, keep up the great work I love your video's. 🤩🤩
Hi just clicked on the link and bought the post level gizmo. Been looking for one of these, but didn't know what they were called. Thanks for the links. Nice job on your pergola.
You are a legend, so I have just started building a pergola, although with a solid roof, think it is still called a pergola, and I used your masking tape method to mark the holes when attaching to the wall, not something I have ever thought off but makes it so much easier, keep up the good work and thanks for the great idea 😊😊
Really great effort and result. I've been thinking of doing something similar in my garden so my ever growing grapevine has a place to live. I've used that Cuprinol Duck's back paint before too. I agree, it's not great, it gets algae on it quite quickly and doesn't resist the elements well for long. I have now got some Johnstone's paint which nothing seems to grow on and water beads off. A year now and it has done way better than the Cuprinol Duck's Back did.
God people are being unnecessarily rude in these comments. Great video! I'm thinking about having a go at adding something similar to the back of my house so this was very useful to watch. Thank you
fantastic work and great video. in regards to the timber to walls, no need to take post off and on. and then change to masonary bit. then you need and impact driver to drive the masonary screw in. for the cross bar on the wall, you can hammer temp nail into the cement part of brick to hold up while you line up. you should defo invest in a impact driver.
Brilliant video and looks great! Im going to do similar and paint anthracite myself. Also thinking of decking the floor but i dont want to get giddy as I always under estimate the amount of work in these sort of projects lol! So a job for another day.
Omg this turned out amazinggg, literally watched the whole way through with my popcorn like wow Shade! Is there anything you can’t do 😭😭 Can’t wait to a house and just renovate from the bottom up - all your videos are saved in my playlist ready for that time 👌🏾😂
I want a pizza thingy too! And a first coat of primer paint on bare wood will likely just need one finish coat after final assembly. Great presentation overall. Beautiful results!
Getting me inspired and energised!! I have been looking for a video like this to help me be able show our builder what we were thinking. Are you leaving the roof uncovered? If not, then what might you use that is robust and does well in British climates. Great video. Thank you.
Great job and marking with the masking tape is an excellent idea ! A marksmen pen is quicker and easier but obviously don’t always have one to hand, I’ll definitely remember your way in future 😊
Omg I’m so glad I came across this video! Me and my partner are going to attempt this in a couple of weeks! Thank you thank you for sharing! Can I check, are the screws you used for the 6x2 attatching to the house the same screws you used for attatching the posts to the opposite wall? And did you leave a gap at all with like washers or anything between the house and the 6x2? Thanks again! :)
Thank you! Yes same screws were used for the brick and the house. Didn’t leave any gap between the wood and the house though it’s not a bad idea to! ☺️
Loved this video, because it was not done by experts, mistakes and warts on show, good job are you going to put a cover on it for the rainy seasons that we will have?
Fantastic and modern too! You could tell that post was very solid as it didn't move at all when he was cutting it level on the top. Also, thanks for showing the pizza over too. Found one on amazon! Great ideas for my new add on patio! The paint, was it paint or stain? Thanks from Texas, USA.
Great job, Shade! This gives me and idea for the small side yard we have that in use for my gardening. Plus, the pergola can be useful for my vining plants to grow on. Thx for the inspiration!😱🤯 🥰❤🤩🔥🥳

Hahahaha 2 right mate
@@pigmintfilm256 I would use flashing between the wood and dashing, thick enough to mould to the dashing, hope that helps.
You can also put washers between the wood and wall so the wood stands off the wall a few mm to allow any rain moisture to run down the back.
Jack, you changed my life with this advice!
Top tip for anybody else doing this. Paint your timber first when it’s on the ground. Saves time and hassle.
This video was invaluable - I have built my own this last weekend and I'm delighted with it! Thanks very much for posting
I’m so glad to hear this!
Thanks for sharing, I love this video, I'm wanting to build something similar but with a roof but I cam definitely take inspiration and tips from yours. That paint looked great and went on super smooth. Good idea for that space and love the pizza oven, yum 🎉
I can imagine that looking so cute at night with fairy lights!
Need to put some on! will be sooo cute ❤
@@ShadeShannon They do some really nice ones on amazon! Im thinking of getting some myself ❤
Travis perkins and jewsons are the most expensive builders merchants I have ever been in!
That created a really wonderful living space. Love the entire yard, flowers are looking good.
Thanks so much!
Looks fantastic-thanks for all the detail and explanations, a beginner (me) could actually follow this!
Nice! You’re welcome 😉
This is a great video ... You both made the process really easy. The outcome ... your reveal... wow!!
Thank you so much 😊
Even when you’re a “greasy, sweaty, mess” you still manage to look amazing! The pergola turned out fantastic too btw. Love your channel ❤️
Aww that’s lovely of you ❤️
I'm so excited about this video, I needed normal everyday people goes step by step on this project before we tried it. Thank you
That project turn out very nice. Now your whole yard look amazing!
Thank you so much 😃

Thank you 🙏🏽
Or when you are alone, just do the middle one, then level and keep going (do most of my stuff alone)
I typed in UK DIY and this video came up! Really impressed!
I don't know what was better, the result or how adorable you guys were building it. pizza looks delicious.
Aww thanks 🥰
Waooo this is cool. in fact i have learnt so much from you guys today i was about giving out a contract to a joiner but this has woken me up, i will give it a go with my wife, thanks Shade well done .
Brilliant! I always try DIY myself as long as I do the research before hand!!
Great job. Stick a rain water gutter / down spout and collection barrel on then put on some clear corrugated sheets and cover the space for year round all weather seating area. Looks great, well done.
They can't do that because the struts are level , they would need a slight pitch to do that to avoid water accumulation
I think a string of lights would look super cute hanging in those posts.
This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodglut designs.
Your garden looks really nice. You've both work so hard on it and should be so proud
Thanks! 😄
That turned out really nicely .... so satisfying when it all comes together like that!

Ah nice!!!!
If you put a polycarbonate roof on, you can store things under it when it rains.
You both did a fantastic job. :-)
Ah nice! I do want to put a retractable roof on some how!
Brilliant video and looks great! Im going to do similar and paint anthracite myself. Also thinking of decking the floor but i dont want to get giddy as I always under estimate the amount of work in these sort of projects lol! So a job for another day.
Brilliant job, well done to both of you
Thank you! X
Really liked this Shannon, thanks .x well done to you and Rob
I love love love your videos. After watching this I really want to try and do this in our garden xx
Thank you 🙏 go for it!

Ooooh excited - can’t wait for this 🥳🥳
❤

Wow excellent vid, thanks for sharing.....looks amazing.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Brilliant team effort thank you for keeping it real and sharing. I will try to build something similar over my new decking 😊
Thank you!
I love the mallet!
😂😂
Currently works out cheaper, only needs 2 coats. We used the Ducksback last year, 4 coats, we have to do it again!
Very good guys, well done 👏
Ta! This will help me get rolling on my own pergola project.
We have just recently done exactly the same. We have covered ours with a tinted polycarbonate roof and guttering.
Love sitting under it in the rain.
I was just thinking about roofing from watching this do you have a link for your polycarbonate covering?
Great job guys going to do something similar once the weather gets better thanks for showing as has helped me 👍😁
I really love the video
Very glad to hear that!
So impressive ❤️
Thank youuu! x
Iwemt ahead and added corigated metal .!!! Perfect
Nice!!!
That was really pretty.
Thank you 😊
Omg this turned out amazinggg, literally watched the whole way through with my popcorn like wow Shade! Is there anything you can’t do 😭😭
Can’t wait to a house and just renovate from the bottom up - all your videos are saved in my playlist ready for that time 👌🏾😂
You seriously are something else...you are the ultimate dream gf...what can you not do?
Respect 👊🏽
Haha thank you
This is really inspiring. Love how this d.i.y came out. Pizza looks goo too 😋
Thank you! Pizza was delicious 😋
Really loved this pergola simple n effective makes me think a bit mmm....straight from south auckland nz thank you loved it.
Can’t wait to get into my house and start DIY projects like this!
Great use of the space 😍 you've made me want the pizza thingy too!
I want a pizza thingy too! And a first coat of primer paint on bare wood will likely just need one finish coat after final assembly. Great presentation overall. Beautiful results!
I just started fallowing you and I love all your videos 💗 Your pergola turned out amazing you guys did a fantastic job💗💗
Getting me inspired and energised!! I have been looking for a video like this to help me be able show our builder what we were thinking. Are you leaving the roof uncovered? If not, then what might you use that is robust and does well in British climates. Great video. Thank you.
We left it uncovered last year. Not sure what we’ll do this year. Perhaps some Perspex or polycarbonate roofing sheets! X
Great job and marking with the masking tape is an excellent idea !
A marksmen pen is quicker and easier but obviously don’t always have one to hand, I’ll definitely remember your way in future 😊
I need to invest in this!

Shade Shannon lush! Thank you so much for your response, I’m a liiittle nervous for it but this video helped so much !
You got this 💪🏽
nice work guys from Canada.
Wow, it has turned out fab! Your hard work has definitely paid off and a perfect way to celebrate with homemade pizza! Loving your DIYs! xoxo
Thank you 🙏 pizzas were great 👍
Nice! Cool thing to do together👌🏼
Brilliant video, and really well explained! Cheers guys :)
Nice build. Been looking for some inspiration to building one of these for my car. Nice one💯
Very nice! Loved it!
Loved this video, because it was not done by experts, mistakes and warts on show, good job are you going to put a cover on it for the rainy seasons that we will have?
Great job! 😀😀😀
Wow that string spirit level is a touch! Just grabbed one. Hope you do well from your Amazon associates 🙏
It turned out amazing💞🌟
Thank you 🙏
Such a great video ‐ love it! Subbed
That is phenomenal. What screws did you use to attach the beam to the wall of the house?
Fantastic and modern too! You could tell that post was very solid as it didn't move at all when he was cutting it level on the top. Also, thanks for showing the pizza over too. Found one on amazon! Great ideas for my new add on patio! The paint, was it paint or stain? Thanks from Texas, USA.
Thanks! It was a paint but it kinda looks like a stain doesn't it!?
@@ShadeShannon yes, it looks fantastic. Sorry, I didn't see this sooner. :-)
Great job, Shade! This gives me and idea for the small side yard we have that in use for my gardening. Plus, the pergola can be useful for my vining plants to grow on. Thx for the inspiration!😱🤯 🥰❤🤩🔥🥳
Thank you. So informative! Well done 👏
No probs 😄
Good job. Just wondering will you use the material to cover the roof? What will happen if raining.
