- If you want to build an easy pergola, look no further than this awesome diy pergola kit by Outmos. They have instructions on how to build a pergola / arbor / patio cover. Building a pergola is very easy with the steel feet and corner brackets along with rafter supports. Pergola construction doesn't have to be hard if you follow these step by step assembly instructions. I built my pergola with a roof made out of sheet metal.

Gorgeous! Just Super Gorgeous! Thank you for this very informative, educational, and entertaining video. They don't teach you this in school. Your mom, neighbors, and friends were very cool. Love it!
Aww thanks so much Cliff 🙌🏻
Brilliantly done. Great job 👍
@@ankushdeo thank you so much
I’m so excited to try this project. My husband is in mourning over all the projects I found I want to tackle. Great job!!!!
Ahh well tell your husband that you can do it yourself girl 💪💪💪💃🏼💃🏼💃🏼
Amazing! And the fact that you're a woman (and that your mum came to help and that you went into starfish mode underneath the pergola) makes it 10 times better ! 😄
👏 from France
Haha thank you, starfish mode is often engaged during builds like this 🤣
Thank you so much, Nicole! I can’t wait watch more videos!

Welcome aboard Cathy! 👋
Lovely, if I were 30 years younger I'd have a go at it myself.
Thank you.
I'm planning an outdoor bar covering and your pergola build gave me a few ideas, especially the footing. And, you Mum was really a champ to help out!
She's a great Mum isn't she! Glad it was helpful for you.
First time seeing your channel and I feel So inspired by it. Thank you. 🙏

Awesome! Feel free to ask me questions if you get stuck on anything.
Fantastic !
Thanks so much!
Nice job ladies!
Thanks so much 💃🏼💪
Looks amazing, I wish I had a video of carport I built over 10 years ago, all by myself going up and down a ladder so many times and a corded drill. 6 2x2 cemented anchors you could not budge it. LOL the city inspector tried. Nice video.
Good on you! It’s a lot of work isn’t it. We can both be super proud.
Very impressive good job
Thank you so much!
this is one of best video i see thx
Aww thank you!
Love it!
Thanks so much

Thank you so much! And welcome!
@@NicoleHerrickDIY thank you ☺️
Thanks so much for posting!
You’re so welcome
complimenti bellissimo e bravissima
Grazie mille
Nice
Thank you
Great upgrade from the shade cloth Nic! Is there any slope on the roof to the back? I don't need a pegola but I do need to add some concrete footings soon so that part was super helpful. Cheers!
Thanks so much Fingers! This doesn't have a slope but it's really simple to add a couple of extra angled timber beams on each side then attach the rafter supports to these instead. Because mine is so small, i decided just to cap the front end with foam infill strips and let the rain drain off the back end into the garden.
Very nice. Next time, please wear a mask when handling dry cement mix.
Oh thank you! I didn’t realise this, I appreciate the knowledge!
That cement dust contains nasty chemicals like silica that cause cancer. Also when the dust gets into your lungs and gets damp, it will turn into little concrete chunks. So yes, a mask designed specifically for dust is important protection.
I'm wondering if this structure could be used as a carport for a small car?
Yes it sure could. You can make them any size you want. They have additional T connector parts you can buy so you can go longer. I think the max distance between legs they recommend is 3m. So you just add a T connector and extra leg in the middle if you want to go longer or wide than that.
Did you include any slope on the pergola to direct your rain water? Looks beautiful! Nice job.
Thank you! Great question so I did plan the back two concrete footings to be slightly lower than the front BUT it turned out completely level anyway. I did wonder half way through if I should have built an extra triangular structure on each side for rafters and roof to sit on but I was already half way through the project and decided not to. The water does flow off the back but some does sit there for a while. I’d recommend adding triangles. Sorry I can’t remember the correct term for the triangles 🤣🤦♀️ I’m actually going to see if I can lift the two front legs a little and screw them in higher at the base to add some angle.
i cant believe you said that. 🤣🤣😅😅😁 anyway ,thats all i think about whenever i hear an aussie accent. some times im confused if its a new zeland accent as they are close.
🤣
Hey! This looks great and I am looking to build the same Outmos pergola for my home in SE QLD.
What orientation is your yard?
@@bburattini if I sit on the outdoor lounge, I’m looking west :)
@@NicoleHerrickDIY amazing! thanks!
I wonder whether the roof might need to have a slight angle so that the water can flow from the stop edge to the other side into the garden. What is your thought?
Yes, I did consider adding a some angled beams up top which the rafters could sit on, but I was almost finished when I realised this and decided against it. I think it’s definitely a better idea to do that though.
Great job! Can i ask how deep the footings need to be? Thanks!
I made mine approx 40cm deep but it just depends on how much overall weight your pergola will be.
Great project. I do have a question, was the pergola completly Level, or did you have it at a slight angle for water run off.

The water does flow off the back but some does sit there for a while. I’d recommend adding triangles. What is the terms for those?
Actually I have been thinking of perhaps lifting the two front legs up a little in the metal bracket and screwing them in a bit higher. Might see if that helps. There’s a slight amount of play to lift but with the top angles being 90 degrees, not a huge amount.
THE MOULDING CUPPING IS FINE, HOWEVER, THAT LONG STRIP ON THE OTHER SIDE WAS OVERKILL, YOU NEED RAINWATER TO DRAIN FROM BOTH SIDES, IN CLOSING OFF ONE SIDE , YOU PLACED A BARACADE ON THE DRAINING OF THAT WATER, IT'S FLAT HORIZONTAL ROOF, SO THAT'S NOT GOOD
Yes I agree, I had tried to leave the back footings a little lower so that it gave some slope but it ended up being very level. What I should have done is added some angles to each side to sit the rafters and roof on. What I’m going to do is unscrew the timber where the front feet are and lift it as I as I can as there is a little bit of play there. Hopefully that will give enough slope. I think the instructions that came with the kit were designed for a mesh roof which wouldn’t need a slope so I failed to consider that. I do like your thought of not enclosing the front edge though. If I can’t lift the front legs enough, I might have to do that. Thank you!
@@NicoleHerrickDIY I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE THE RAFTORS AS THEY ARE, OPEN THE ONE SIDE TO MATCH THE OTHER SIDE THAT'S OPEN AND MAYBE PUT A NICE TRIM ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT IT WILL LOOK MORE COSMETICALLY PLEASING, THEN WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE RAINWATER DOES, IF IT DRAINS FROM BOTH SIDES, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. HORIZONTAL ROOF LOOKS GOOD BUT THE DRAINING HAS TO BE RIGHT
Please dont shout 😊
Hey there, would you mind sharing total cost of the build including the kit, timber, concrete etc?
Sure thing. I spent approx $1850 all up. $850 for the pergola brackets kit, $1,000 for the timber, roofing, cement and sundries.
Hello, I would highly recommend for you to shop piece by piece for the brackets at Home Depot and if not Amazon has the kit for 200$ on lumber you are looking at 350$
I spent 527$ today on the exact same thing just not the roofing equipment
Is it strong enough without attaching to the wall? Only attachment is on the floor.
Yes it’s definitely strong enough without attaching to the wall. These are designed to not be attached to any walls.
Nice build but ì hope it dies nor rain too much and too heavily as a drain would normally be needed when having a covered roof
Thank you. Most of the water drains off one edge into the garden.
I did this in texas now im trying to insulate it i can feel heat radiating down
What colour roof did you do?
Black now i need to add foam panels n finish it to stop the heat
@@romeinc ahh yes, the black will be absorbing heat. That’s why I went with a white roof.
I may have missed it… But what happens if it rains heavily is there a place where the rain runs off??
Yes the back edge is where the water runs off into the garden to water it.
Did you put a pitch on the roof for the rain runoff?
I didn’t but in hindsight I should have. I thought about this half way through but decided not to. I’d suggest adding some slanted timber screwed to the inner side of the box structure of the top, then screw the rafter supports into those. That way they’re a bit more hidden and the roof will look like it’s floating which will have a nice effect. With it as it is, most does run off the end but a little sits there until it dries in the sun.
I didn’t but in hindsight, I should have.
👍👍👍👍👍👍❤
🥰
Not in the Caribbean especially
how does the rain water goes to one side?
So the metal roof has ridges along it that stop it going over the sides. I capped one end so the only place for it to run is off the back end and into my garden. Make sense?
What about the lack of fall on the roof
Great question. So I did plan the back two concrete footings to be slightly lower than the front BUT it turned out completely level anyway. I did wonder half way through if I should have built an extra triangular structure on each side for the rafters and roof to sit on but I was already half way through the project and decided not to. The water does flow off the back but some does sit there for a while. I’d recommend adding triangles. Sorry I can’t remember the correct term for the triangles 🤣🤦♀️ I’m actually going to see if I can lift the two front legs a little and screw them in higher at the base to add some angle.
those type of pergolas are designed for either adjustable slats with in built guttering or what you have done, the open rafters but with no roof. Because the bracket system is strictly 90 deg its impossible to get any type of fall.
@@rayalliston7702 but you can add your own angled side pieces above the 90 degree connectors to add fall.
didn't see you tap into the brick wall
@@kingdavidluke yeah sorry I didn’t get a chance to add it before I edited the video.
So when it rains on the roof, your water runs where ?
She said into her garden
It runs off the back edge into the garden.
@@NicoleHerrickDIY Sorry, I thought you sealed the ends with foam ?
@@douglasalexander4348 just the front edge was sealed with the foam. The back edge was left open.
At that cost? Structural brackets?
Do they have a beautiful modern matte black finish?
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you 🫶
Where did buy the roof metal sheets?
I actually for them for free on marketplace, but the cheapest place to buy them is from local roofing manufacturers and you can get them to cut them to size for free usually. Cheaper than hardware stores.
Hope you dont live in an area with snow. I did a similar project with Toja Grid and my brackets failed. When I spoke with the company, they said it wasn’t rated for a roof application. Have a structural engineer explain to you what a foot of snow load is and you will realize that thin metal can’t hold it.
Oh interesting! No we don’t get snow in the majority of Australia where I bought the kit for this build. Good to know though, thank you. 🙏
My dad was a builder, and snow load was always a consideration. I grew up in Canada, lots of snow. I married an American and made my home in Arizona, then Florida, but Dad always considered snow load anyway, lol.
Which brackets failed? Do you mean you made your own roof over top of this?
@@SR-te2db I think they mean the Toja brand metal joining corners.
Hope you show your failed build.
What is the measurements of it?
I made mine approx 2.7x2.5 metres and 2.4m high.
Might be easy to build but it's not cheap!
It’s much cheaper than having a professional build one for you. Take a look at my video on installing a shade sail, that’s a much more affordable option.
Local government building approval???
This was able to be done without a permit in my local council. I made sure to check it first before planning the build so that it was within the regulations. All councils are different of course.
Beautiful structure (wood and black elements) with a shoddy, unsightly tin roof that killed the good final effect.
Thank you. What kind of roof you would add to be beautiful?
I built the same thing in 4 hrs 😂
Good on you Mike.
Australia seems extremely restrictive on what you can do without permission. You sure you’re not in North Korea? 😂
We just learn from other countries mistakes I guess 🫣😜
" a dingo stole my baby" ..could have done without that heartless quip. Maybe you should read her ordeal.
As a kid many people used that line to make fun of our Aussie accent and it stuck in my head, I hadn’t taken the time to realise how wrong that was so thank you for brining it to my attention. I apologise. I know she was innocent.
You bought a kit
Was looking for something more from scratch not instructions kit not everyone can order a kit
The brackets are the only thing that came in the kit. Everything else I had to plan and purchase separately. It’s the same as buying joints hangers and angle brackets, at the hardware store.
That was misleading
Say u. Builder sorry u get a 👎🏽
Can you tell me what was misleading about it so I can understand?
Not "misleading" at all. The title didn't say "build from scratch". All she used were the connectors and bolts, she did all the measuring, cutting, drilling, caulking, staining and created her own cement footings. Even home "builders" use prefab spanners/joists. I loved her video and thought it was a great DIY guide!
