Everyone loves a hammock! But not everyone has a place to hang one. This is the solution. I keep these videos short and easy to follow... You're gonna love this project!
Wow 🤩 absolutely beautiful job👍is exactly what I being looking for and exactly the mesure I want to make one OMG I’m so excited!!🙏thank you so much!! I love the way you described every step of what you were doing
Excellent tutorial. Informative yet succinct. I am so glad to have come across this video. I have been looking for a couple months for some guidance with this exact style of pergola. Thanks!
Hey Jaimes, really looks good! I am almost done building a similar one using some of your ideas. I am curious though about how the fabric held up under the weight of the snow. I live in Idaho and am a bit hesitant to put on the fabric due to possible tear through with winter snow weight. Thanks!
Good question. I only did one layer of shade fabric. I realized after I was done that I should probably have done 2 layers. However, my one layer has held up fine so far. We had a decent amount of snow this year and it still looks like new. (I stapled the shade fabric to the 2x4’s from underneath)
Great video! Big Jaimes, quick question: Can you just install the cross-brace and angled -support on each post before setting the post up and leveling it? It just seems easier versus putting the post up, then getting your son to help install the other pieces. Thanks !
Hey Matt. Sure you can do it that way. However, It would be really heavy and difficult to lift and maneuver. Especially if you are using thicker lumber like I did. If you are using smaller lumber you probably wouldn't have a problem. When doing it that way, first make sure to dig your holes to the right depth so that the top of the posts are level with each other... then pull them out, build them, and put them back in. That make sense? It would be too heavy to try and level them after you've got them built. Let me know how it goes. I'd love to see a picture.
@@projectswithjaimes4438 Jaimes that is a good point about the weight and I think I'll take your word for it. My wife and I loved the wood you used and plan on using the same with the same finish. Thanks so much from Los Angeles !
Ya, Cedar can be more expensive... the cost is different depending on where you are and what time of year, etc. One thing you could do to lower the cost is to use 6 inch material instead of 8 inch like I did. Or maybe check the price of pressure treated lumber instead of cedar. It just has a different finished look
Can you pls let me know from where and width of the 10" lag eye bolts? I don’t know what exact size to buy for supporting the weight of a person in a hammock?
That's an interesting idea. I didn't consider doing that, mostly because mine runs east and west along with the sun and we mostly use it in the summer when the sun doesn't dip too much southward... But its a good idea, especially for warmer climates where you would use it year round.
Question: could we install just one 8x8 in the ground and hang a hammock from the post and a tree or does the post require a horizontal support beam to another post?
You could probably do that, but if you do, you may want to dig deeper and solidify it more. But even then, eventually it will begin to lean with all the weight on it.
You can normally get rough cut cedar from lumber yards or from home improvement stores. Just go in and tell them what you are looking for and if they don’t carry it in stock, they can order it for you.
Doesn't move at all 😁. I made mine with oversized posts, etc. You don't have to use lumber as thick as I did. That was just the look I was going for. 6x6 Would be plenty strong... However, the smaller the dimensions of the wood, the more likely it is to wobble.
@@projectswithjaimes4438 yeah I like the bigger timber look. I plan on putting a porch style swing or a bed swing under mine. Are those pressure treated posts?
Yes, absolutely... Actually the size of my pergola materials is a little overkill, but that was the look I was going for. 6x6 would be completely fine.
Good question. You definitely don’t need to use 8x8 post like mine. I just wanted that thicker look. However, 4x4 posts might hold up for a year or two. 6x6 is better and plenty big. However, the long supports cannot be 2x4’s. They need to be at least 2x6.
Thank you for making this so easy to follow. Awesome build and tutorial

Thanks Chevy, Glad it worked out for you.
Amazing!!! 👌
Thanks Barney!
Nice job.
Excellent video. Sub'd!
really cool wonder if one could b made with the top being a sun deck and rain berrls at each end to catch the water but really good ides you got
Real good video
Nice work, man! Love the 8x8 posts!!! BEEFY! And adds a little elegance to it!

@@projectswithjaimes4438 Great! I will throw a couple layers on and give it a shot. Appreciate the help!

Great job! Looks really nice with the large lumber and stain. Also, the mountain view is amazing! What city is this?
Thanks Nick. It’s Orem, UT. The view of the mountains is our favorite
How big is your basketball/tennis court
Jaimes, do you have a rough materials cost? I'm considering something similar but cedar is very expensive around me.

What's your website? Love the project!!
Thanks David. ProjectsWithJaimes.com
I probably should put it on the screen at the end for longer than I do
@@projectswithjaimes4438 Thanks man... I hope you plan on doing more videos and not so far apart haha you do some really nice videos and projects...
Can you pls let me know from where and width of the 10" lag eye bolts? I don’t know what exact size to buy for supporting the weight of a person in a hammock?
Did you give any consideration to skewing the top to the south?
That's an interesting idea. I didn't consider doing that, mostly because mine runs east and west along with the sun and we mostly use it in the summer when the sun doesn't dip too much southward... But its a good idea, especially for warmer climates where you would use it year round.

You could probably do that, but if you do, you may want to dig deeper and solidify it more. But even then, eventually it will begin to lean with all the weight on it.
I wonder if I can make this to hold a bench swing, and switch it out with the hammock when I want
Sure. You might want to double up one of the long supports right in the center to hold the weight of people on the bench swing. Great idea.
Where can I find the sun shade fabric? I looked at Home Depot and Lowe’s.
I found mine in the outdoor section of HD. Out with all the plants.
Necesito las medidas de este trabajo excelentes...
2 coconut trees planted 14’ apart. And Done 🌳
What store can you buy the 8x8 lumber that is that long?
You won’t find it on the shelf at any store probably. I went to a home improvement store and special ordered it. Had it the next day.
Hi, I like that, but How can I get the woods?
You can normally get rough cut cedar from lumber yards or from home improvement stores. Just go in and tell them what you are looking for and if they don’t carry it in stock, they can order it for you.
Can you share the website for your project details
Hi Angelique. Sorry for the delay... It's ProjectsWithJaimes.com
where can i find that backyard? haha
😁
So how much this cost
How stable is that, does it wobble side to side and back and
Doesn't move at all 😁. I made mine with oversized posts, etc. You don't have to use lumber as thick as I did. That was just the look I was going for. 6x6 Would be plenty strong... However, the smaller the dimensions of the wood, the more likely it is to wobble.
@@projectswithjaimes4438 yeah I like the bigger timber look. I plan on putting a porch style swing or a bed swing under mine. Are those pressure treated posts?
Where did you get those stakes? Do you have the link
Most every home improvement store has steaks like that. They are with all the concrete supplies.
@@projectswithjaimes4438 I been looking for 2 yrs almost and haven’t found any that big and sturdy. I use rebar but it’s not as sturdy or straight
Hi can I use 6x6 instead of 8x8?
Yes, absolutely... Actually the size of my pergola materials is a little overkill, but that was the look I was going for. 6x6 would be completely fine.
Thank you sir
So do I just replace 8x8 pieces with 6x6 on the material list or do I have change any other pieces accordingly
Can this be done with 4x4 posts.
Good question. You definitely don’t need to use 8x8 post like mine. I just wanted that thicker look. However, 4x4 posts might hold up for a year or two. 6x6 is better and plenty big. However, the long supports cannot be 2x4’s. They need to be at least 2x6.
Projects with Jaimes thank you I used 6x6
How much did this project cost?
Hi! How can I find you on Instagram?
