  • 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.

    • @NicoleHerrickDIY
      @NicoleHerrickDIY  7 месяцев назад

      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.

      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.

      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.

      @NicoleHerrickDIY  Месяц назад

      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.

  • @leelunk8235
    @leelunk8235 Месяц назад +2

    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

    • @NicoleHerrickDIY
      @NicoleHerrickDIY  Месяц назад

      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
      @NicoleHerrickDIY  17 дней назад

      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 loved her video and thought it was a great DIY guide!
