Helpful tip. I’m sure Jason did it off camera, sure compressed air to blow out the hole to get rid of the concrete dust otherwise your glue will stick to the dust instead of the concrete. Bonus points if you use a wire brush to clean the hole too.
@@DustinWillpretty sure epoxy was completely unnecessary for this application. I’ve never seen a wedge anchor being epoxied in place. That’s what the wedge does.
I love these projects because they’re relevant! For ie, I’ve watched plenty of pergola builds with a multitude of ways to anchor posts but what wasn’t ever mentioned was the need to have footers beneath the post bracket! I had no idea, I wrongly assumed I could drill into my old concrete pad in the back for posts so thank you for sharing that bit of info and I really appreciate building the right way using timber framing or the wood itself to notch into each other, makes for a stronger and more beautiful connection which is far better than any ugly bracket
Man it’s that passive aggressive tone that’s the worst. He built the friggin table! Does she not think he can repair it? “The table is destroyed” a little exaggerated no?
Sooo currently in the process of building a deck and spent 11 years sellimg hardware like hurricane ties at lowes....what hurrice ties or "simpson strong ties" do is provide a conection point without actual connecting the two pieces mechanically so that they can move independently of one another so a joist hanger for example is mechanically attached to the beam and to the joist but the joist and beam are not mechanically joined together. That way if their are strong winds the two piece can move independently and not blow out the whole joint.....as to looking bad, simpson makes an entire line in stainless black that looks like wrought iron for exposed pieces that looks really cool.
You drunk the cool aid hard, often you still need to toe nail timber together, plus brackets… what’s been around for hundreds of years mortise and tenons etc, seen a lot more action than a Simpson strong tie… but yes they have a place, I’m with the man doing the filming tho, can often look ugly….
13:54 I always paint joist hangers and brackets with a quick coat of black spray paint before nailing. Make's decks, and timber framing look 100 times better.
As a timber framer that built my house's frame with no metal fasteners, I have a lot of critiques, but I won't get into that. Fun to watch other people problem solve. If you'd asked me before you started, I'd have recommended picking up an old Ted Benson book. Even if it was just for your sawhorse placement, it would be worth the $20
Hi. I am doing a complete career change in my 50s and decided to go into carpentry/building. Back to school starts next summer (already have my acceptance letter) and will do so in the US, being from Western Europe (they don't build the same way here). I found your comment interesting, so I looked up Tedd Benson and just ordered a few books to prepare for what's to come. Thanks for the advice !!

@@keithdavies52 Thank you very much for your reply. As you can imagine, at our age there is no time to go on a full three or four years apprenticeship ... I just couldn't financially afford that.

The long game would be to become a professional builder on my own and - once I have enough knowledge (and hopefully the talent) - to create my own company with a few likeminded people to build cabins and tiny homes for people with a small wallet.

@@keithdavies52 timber framed buildings are making a resurgence in Canada, I'm not sure about us.

Not many people know this but timber framing doesn’t use metal fasteners. Rather, it uses mortise and tenon joinery and hardwood pegs. What you’re building is a post and beam structure.
Half post and beam. The knee braces should have been mortised in too, and the lags should’ve been pegs to make it true timber frame joinery. Also, some of the techniques are non-traditional, eg the post could have been half-lapped to reduce the rabbet size in the beam. No biggie. If you’re interested in this type of construction, I suggest The Shelter Institute’s RUclips channel. It’s pretty amazing how they’ve improved the traditional processes for very fast green timber framing, to reduce a multi-year process to weeks. Also, RR Buildings is another amazing channel. They’ve invented some amazing modern timber framing improvements to traditional pole barn construction, like using brackets to mount the posts on concrete piers to prevent rot over time, which you see an adaptation of here.
It's nice to see im not the only man that gets in big trouble with the misses when doing a project around the house. I too if left unsupervised do some squirrely things without really thinking through or planning. It generally turns out fine, but not without a lecture from the wife.
Shear strength is as simple as this - nails can bend, screws snap. If the joint is likely to move due to load or warping, it's best to use nails as well as screws as a backup incase the screws shear. Or you can design a way to use some beefy old lag bolts. By far the strongest joints for beams of these dimensions (although not sure about use with gluelam) is to mortice and tenon as they can move and deform with the joint maintaining strength and simple to repair if need be. There are European buildings with original structural beams still in use that are 700+ years old and still strong thanks to all wooden joints.
lag bolts are just awesome (and in 90% of the cases 100% over-engineered, but will do the job way better than those "construction screws") -- otherwise I agree with mixing screws/nails (even though I'm absolutely no fan of nails :D ... still in this case yeah :) )
The simplistic notion that nails bend and screws break is overused and quite frankly not even wrong* (google that one). Nails cannot draw boards together and resist pullout like screws do. The strength of a screwed (or bolted) joint doesn't depend that much on the shear strength of the fastener, due to the compression and friction of board. The stiffness of the assembly will also prevent unwanted gaps that created leverage and movement from working the fastener out. Nails may yield for longer, but that means the joint already separated in the first place. With wood, the failure is most often in the substrate, not the fastener. (Exception : very cheap screws and drywall screws) Don't use interior fasteners outside, and use load rated screws or better carriage or lag bolts, ideally with actual continuous load paths or joinery.
I'm doing a much smaller version of this as an awning over my barn's front door, and this video was extremely helpful. I now know exactly what I need to do!
Nice work. A palm nailer makes quick work of those structural nails in the brackets. One minor suggestion. Counterbore those structural screws and plug them so they look like wooden pins used in a traditional timber frame. I wish we could get Douglas Fir beams here in the southeast. That is going to be beautiful.
When setting the posts to get them plumb, you can get a corner level which allows you plumb the posts in both planes at once. Yes it is best to double check with a longer level, but for roughing the post in they are a major time saver. Well worth the cost to do even 1 or 2 posts.
A little concerned about waterproofing where you cut through to the framing on the siding. If water seeps around the brackets and rots the beam behind it over the years it might become a problem...perhaps,

@@bakerfx4968 and flour is the glue of the cake, right? Your username leads me to believe that you would know. :) my username was a college nickname that turned out to be a common Indian name so mine literally makes no sense.
I might be wrong, but I'd be concerned about what you're asking those joist-hangers to support. I'd put another diagonal brace from your existing house-posts to the glue-lam. A little insurance.
Yes! That is the weekest paprt of the structure. The oversized glued beam is useless if it is not properly fixed, but I suspect he'll add something to it in the next episode
BTW, I love that you got rid of the simpson post to beam connectors and went with old style joinery! IMHO, perfectly acceptable for structural purposes of a patio roof.
Over the years of outdoor construction I have found the easiest way to see where stuff should attach/go is a laser level. Ever since they came, my deck building has improved 200%. With an accuracy of 1/8 of inch over 50 feet, you can not go wrong.
Hoping to do the same thing this fall. Thanks for the video! Great job as usual!! Looking forward to the next video on this. Based on your wife’s reaction to the table, I am pretty sure your wife and my wife would get along great! They keep us grounded. 😂
Why use the simpson ties? Because they are tested and rated for the application, and 20 years from now they'll still be doing the job. Alternative methods are still possible, but usually these are one-off apps, not tested for longevity. You're not quite sure what will happen after 5 or 10 years. My gazebo lasted 10 years, but after that, the cutouts and notches were failing as the wood aged (and rotted a bit). But don't throw the simpson stuff away: in year 5~10 you'll need it to reinforce the original construction. Most important step for outdoor construction? Paint all the pieces BEFORE assembly (oops). In particular, the ends of the timbers are water/rot entry points. Once the timbers are assembled, you will never get the paint to penetrate between the surfaces, and this is where the water enters. But it's fun building stuff like this, so when you tear it down and rebuild, just more fun. I also found that corner bracing (the 45's), is needed in all three dimensions to really stabilize the construct. About the notches at the end of the glulams: no impact on the structural integrity: at the end, the torsion is zero, with the loads being shear only, down into the post. Finally, screws work just fine with the s-ties: there is a diff between screws and nails, but both provide multiple factors of safety.
Concrete is what is poured. Cement is an ingredient in concrete. Concrete is typically cement, sand and rocks/gravel (aggregate) and water. Cement is what holds it all together and is about 10 to 15% of the entire mixture.
Most people get a permit to add a structure to their house and that requires drawings or blueprints which have to approved by the city engineer. Then you have inspections done at certain stages. Really adds a lot of cost but depending on where you live it might be for the best outcome. As always you did a great job. Everyone calling for flashing where the bracket and beam tie into the house. Don’t forget there will be a roof over this. That’s where the flashing comes into play.
LOVE your videos and projects. I find it hard to believe ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ when it comes to construction! (That’s a compliment, not criticism).
I took construction classes in high school and my instructor’s name was Bob. Anytime I was building a wall I’d ask Bob if it looked plumb. Easiest way to get a wall plumb and level.
You actually did it the correct way. If you watch any timber framing videos, you’ll see that the wood workers will notch the large timber woods as well and you’re really not messing with the integrity of the timber. Once you tie it all together with others, the strength is all there still. Folks will frame this with mortise and tenon.
Uplift from wind is a big problem in Oklahoma where I live, plus code generally requires a metal clip for hold down strength or one of the huge new structural screws that are like 6+ inches long into and through post into structural members (which you did). Plz, I hope you liquid or other flashing under siding to prevent water from getting behind the siding over time and rotting out your house…
Cement is a powder made from burning clay and chalk. Cement mixed with water and sand makes morter, and if you mix in larger stones as well, you get concrete. In many languages/countries the terms are used more or less interchangeable by lay man.
Concrete is cement, sand, water, and aggregate. Cement is like plaster. You wet it and it'll cure into a solid thing. The more you know. ;) Also, I feel ya on the not thinking things through part, except I seem to either not think them through or do too much thinking it through and never starting.
I dont know but i would have sunk a big ass lag bolt instead of that screw straight down to tie in the post to the beam coming off the house. Even the support between the 2 beams should have lag bolts. But i agreenwhat everyone else said about the decorative simpson ties. Not sure im with you on this one Jay!!!
I'd be somewhat concerned that the patio will get a bit dark with a full roof above. Then again, I live in the north where sunshine and warmth is almost always welcome.
Redoing a patio yourself can be a fulfilling and cost-effective project, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in labor costs while giving you the freedom to customize every detail.
About the shear strength, it is less complicated then it looks. A screw will hold better in the wood when pulled, but is more brittle then a nail. So for any use where the forces applied are perpendicular to the fastener, like with your brackets, nails are better and cheaper solution.
Wow! You have some really good friends to help you hang those beams. Hmmm, I will assume that you talked to a friend or a person with experience in building houses, to consider wind loads and weight of the beams attachment to the house. In some states you will have building permits and inspections of the build done. That is a beautiful house and you spent a lot of money to buy those beams. The porch structure, you would want to build the porch "to meet or exceed! local building code specifications". Carry On Sir and friends.
pergolas are shade lies just like veneers are wood lies! haha. Thank you for putting an actual roof. I've never understood why anyone would want a pergola. no shade, no rain cover no happiness.
“It’s fine”, probably the final words of many man.

@@ajuk6391 I was told only a few months ago by a kid that Adidas stands for 'after dinner I did a s##t haha!
I’m here for the good stuff. Tell the truth Jason you just need lots more projects
So far it’s beautiful!
LOVE your videos and projects. I find it hard to believe ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ when it comes to construction! (That’s a compliment, not criticism).
Hell yeah.. Saturday morning woodworking.. nothing better than
Dad you broke the freaking table!!!! Soooooo funny!!
I love how he likes to make us engineers nervous when he really knows what he is doing?
I love your channel and vids!
My only concern is there was no flashing in that bracket behind the siding and the beam. I’d hate to see the structural beam compromised by water
That will be a great looking patio.
I'm saving this and downloading the file (RUclips download). I think this is cool!!
Hey buddy
You should really put some flashing to help seal around the beam where it meats the how . Looks great
Good luck with the rest Jim
Simpson makes decorative plates.
Just fyi
I love the idea
Looks great , nice job
Ooh the tension at the beginning haha
Don't worry about the table just go do the dishes _laundry _cook dinner also don't forget to put your dress on !
Cement is what's in the bag; concrete is what comes in the truck
I took construction classes in high school and my instructor’s name was Bob. Anytime I was building a wall I’d ask Bob if it looked plumb. Easiest way to get a wall plumb and level.
You actually did it the correct way. If you watch any timber framing videos, you’ll see that the wood workers will notch the large timber woods as well and you’re really not messing with the integrity of the timber. Once you tie it all together with others, the strength is all there still.
Folks will frame this with mortise and tenon.
needed some old Dusty Lumber half lapped joints with dowels brother
Think about how much you would have saved if you just kept the old pergola! Now i am mad jealous of that new pergola. Good work!
Looks so good man!!!
Uplift from wind is a big problem in Oklahoma where I live, plus code generally requires a metal clip for hold down strength or one of the huge new structural screws that are like 6+ inches long into and through post into structural members (which you did). Plz, I hope you liquid or other flashing under siding to prevent water from getting behind the siding over time and rotting out your house…
It is looking good.
Cement is a powder made from burning clay and chalk. Cement mixed with water and sand makes morter, and if you mix in larger stones as well, you get concrete.
In many languages/countries the terms are used more or less interchangeable by lay man.
21:25 - and you oriented the beams in the right direction on the scaffold! Can you imagine the pain if not!?
Concrete is cement, sand, water, and aggregate. Cement is like plaster. You wet it and it'll cure into a solid thing.
The more you know. ;)
Also, I feel ya on the not thinking things through part, except I seem to either not think them through or do too much thinking it through and never starting.
Dead nuts is a universal assessment!
I dont know but i would have sunk a big ass lag bolt instead of that screw straight down to tie in the post to the beam coming off the house. Even the support between the 2 beams should have lag bolts. But i agreenwhat everyone else said about the decorative simpson ties. Not sure im with you on this one Jay!!!
Ben just showed up randomly WOW what a coincidence. 🙂

your construction techniques are a lil different but super good enough! nice job
As a builder, i can say that we use metal brackets because theyre faster, but dont know if theyre actually more or less strong of a joint
I like how you hide those two holes on that vertical beam from an oops , didn't edit well enough lol , love your work btw
I'd be somewhat concerned that the patio will get a bit dark with a full roof above. Then again, I live in the north where sunshine and warmth is almost always welcome.
Redoing a patio yourself can be a fulfilling and cost-effective project, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in labor costs while giving you the freedom to customize every detail.
You may want to put some flashing against the house under the siding so rain won't get inside that wall.
Nicely done, I never seen guys with no clue about woodworking using Festol tools 😂
No mortis and tenon for the braces? I’m bummed… still it’s great! Can’t wait to see the rest
About the shear strength, it is less complicated then it looks. A screw will hold better in the wood when pulled, but is more brittle then a nail. So for any use where the forces applied are perpendicular to the fastener, like with your brackets, nails are better and cheaper solution.
Beautiful!
love the new five toed steel toe work boots
Your joist hangers or beam hangers. You could have sprayed them black. The contrast between the 2 materials look nice
Wow! You have some really good friends to help you hang those beams. Hmmm, I will assume that you talked to a friend or a person with experience in building houses, to consider wind loads and weight of the beams attachment to the house. In some states you will have building permits and inspections of the build done. That is a beautiful house and you spent a lot of money to buy those beams. The porch structure, you would want to build the porch "to meet or exceed! local building code specifications". Carry On Sir and friends.
pergolas are shade lies just like veneers are wood lies! haha. Thank you for putting an actual roof. I've never understood why anyone would want a pergola. no shade, no rain cover no happiness.
