Hi Dave, very well built pergola mate. I have been following your content for a while now. I also work for a builder in Melbourne (site supervising) so I find your videos highly relatable. It seems like this pergola is a freestanding under 20sqm which does not require a building permit. However I have had experience helping a client in Bayside City Council (Highett from memory) doing a town planning amendment about 5 years ago for some decking they built after handover of their townhouse (which is a part of a town planning permit without decking spec'ed on the landscape plan). I wasn't sure how the Council found out (maybe through Nearmap) but the options given to the client was to either remove the structure and restore to what was drawn in the landscape plan or to apply for an amendment and redraw the landscape plan to reflect what was built. In your case the client's townhouse seems new and most likely part of a town planning permit. Just something I have experienced before and thought I could share it with you.
Looks great! Thanks for the video. Can I ask how big is the pergola? What size beam and rafters did you use? I’m planning on building my own but it’s hard to know what size beams and rafters to use for what span. Thanks and keep creating content! I really enjoy watching these types of videos from an Aussie’s perspective. So much on YT is mainly US based.
Find your desired pitch. The video said 1.2 degrees. Workout the rise over the span at 1.2 degrees. Assume 100mm of rise. Divide 100mm of rise by the number of battens. Assume 10 battens = 10mm increase per batten. Spaced out evenly, each batten rip should be 10 mm thicker than the last until you reach you're 100mm rise
Awesome job mate nice. I think the purpose of the joist hangers vs batten screws from the end is that the timber won’t split if holding a lot of weight. As the hangers are cradling from the bottom. Not much tho prob, like you said 👌
Hey Dave, will flick you an email today about a small build project we’re getting underway (grannyflat with a twist) that’s sure to be video worthy and get a lot of attention if you’re interested in getting involved. Cheers!
Looks good😊
What a soil!!!! ❤❤❤ Jealous from Texas :)
Good job, but what a dreadful decision from the owner to cover the whole yard with that!

Technically this structure with a roof on it is classified by the VBA as a verandah not a pergola.

Great job! Tbh having a fall on the rafters would of been way nicer Vs seeing those packers under the batterns which dont look great at all.
I've been re-doing pergolas that have rotten away. I did my first one out of gal steel, it worked out to be cheaper to use steel and powder coated it.

Did you have to check where the pipes were located before digging, Dave??
Did they put a roof on ?
Checking out 3/4 of the post is not a good detail
Hey mate great job. Just wondering how you calculated the rips you needed for the battens? 900 spacing at 12° of fall if thats correct.
Find your desired pitch. The video said 1.2 degrees.
Workout the rise over the span at 1.2 degrees.
Assume 100mm of rise.
Divide 100mm of rise by the number of battens.
Assume 10 battens = 10mm increase per batten.
Spaced out evenly, each batten rip should be 10 mm thicker than the last until you reach you're 100mm rise
great work mate nice simple and neat ... can i ask how do u price these work ?? daily or complexity or accessibility thanks
Good content bro 👍🏽
Thanks mate!

Hey Dave, any chance you could do a video about building stairs? Cheers mate love the content 👍
He's already done it bro, check his other vids
Hi mate. good vids. what is the size of the post and is it h4? TIA

Noice
Cross braces on a pergola hmm. Good build though
It needs it. Hmmmmmnm
@@glitch2250 why?
This will be a strong response I hope I have a few probable correct replies that I hope don't anger but teach I suppose
It's only 4 posts with no walls, it will sway. The brace locks it into place so it can't move :) it's ugly but necessary
@@glitch2250 when the roof goes on it will take all the sway out of it also... the cross braces are just a bit unsightly
4x4👎🏻
