In this video, I'll walk you through step-by-step how I created this DIY canopy shade with mosquito net for my patio! It almost didn't turn out because I wasn't sure how to install the canopy share or how to hang the mosquito net. But I figured it out and it turned out awesome! See how it turned out and how you can make this, too!

Do you think you could add some type of wood roofing on top with the shingles and a gutter for drainage in the future to make it more waterproof?
@@c.carter7219 It's possible, but you would have to anchor those posts in the ground, and probably get a permit to build that on your property. Also, for me, I don't want something so permanent because I want to be able to remove the canopy for when I want sunlight to come into the family room off of the patio. :)
@@ThriftDiving I total understand! You are right. You would need the permits etc for that. It makes perfect sense.
@@c.carter7219 hi if
@@c.carter7219washed them up for the store 😂🏪🏪 and tellings even iffy
Just found your channel!!! You young lady are an ALLSTAR/WONDER WOMAN. I'm 57 and when I was young I was just like you. I'm going to binge watch your videos. I retire in 2 years 1 month 7 days. I'm going to get my Gods sisters together and we are going to polish our homes and condos. Thank you. You are inspiration on steroids.
Aww, thank you! Retirement is the perfect time to start projects because time won't (or shouldn't) be an excuse now they you can do what YOU want!
Just ran across your videos and subscribed. You are definitely a blessing and inspiration to women who “want” to DIY or “have” to DIY for whatever reason. Thank you! ☺️
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much for telling people to wear a mask when working with concrete!
Wonderful idea and clear instructions. An option to use in place of the square would be stainless steel washers (so they don't rust) tacked into the hem or, a Weighted Drapery Tape - Sausage Bead that looks like a cord that can be inserted in the casing of a hem. The drapery tape is usually sold by the yard at most fabric stores or even by a roll. Another tip is when setting a post (in concrete, gravel, or even just dirt) put long stainless steel nails or screws into at least two opposite sides, several inches up from the bottom of the post. Keep several inches of the metal head-end sticking out. This will create an "anchor" to keep the post stable.
Definitely! I have used the washer for weights in curtains! The curtain weights are a bit heavier, though, which I think helps hold it in place. Thanks for the tip about keeping the post stable!!!
So pretty.
Looks great! Good solutions and work arounds, I like that you show when you ran into issues and what you did to fix it.
I think I'd prefer white netting because mosquitoes and bugs are less attracted to white fabric and paint.
Thanks for sharing.
As usual you kick a66!!!!! My only suggestion is that velcro doesn't always stay, I had to add staples. So if you're going to move take a few minutes and staple the velcro to the post, just the sticky side
Well done! A can do attitude and lovely result!
Place something under the posts which are closest to the house. By raising those higher than the outside edge the rain will run right off away from the house. It doesn't have to be too much higher. Just raise it like one to two inches. The rain will roll right off.
Thank you. I looking forward to doing this project.
You are so clever & talented. What is the striped called? I definitely want to make an awning using something water repellent...is it sailcloth? 🤔 Sunbrella..?
We’re about to do this and just ordered our wood longer for the back. That way the canopy is automatically on a slight angle for runoff
Yes elevating the rear is a very good idea. Given that I'd start with higher posts for the back.
Great suggestion! Most people won't know (or think of) that to mitigate water/runoff. I'm wondering if all of the Wood is (or needs to be) Pressure treated?🤔
Yes. It does look fantastic. What was the solution to prevent water sitting on top?
Instead of putting the curtain weights on the bottom I’ve seen people just leave a slot and fill it with marbles and then seal both ends! Thank you for your video I just subscribed I like that you showed the errors along with the successes!
You are so talented, you inspire me!
This is awesome, love you tell all the details. Thanks for sharing.
What good timing - we need one of these
Thank you!! Hope yours turns out nice, too. :)
Great ide ! The curtain weights ! You could also see bolts or heavy washers to the hem of the netting to weigh them down . Love this protect very much .
It's beautiful!! It's like having a bedroom outdoors ☺️
I absolutely love this project only thing differently I would have done is painted the wood black since your fabric is black and white
Very beautiful,what a great idea!.
I really like how you keep it real. Love the make over.
I just enjoy your work, what intended or not, I am now starting my backyard journey this year, and a youtube Diy channel and I'm so excited mistakes and all
So much work! but you got er done and it came out beautifull!!
What a good idea!
You are so fabulous! Thank you!
This is really impressive, and it’s beautiful too.
Great video!!!!!! You have an immense amount of patience!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thanks for sharing this great project! I think I will try to duplicate it !! Enjoy!!
If you had made your back 2 corner posts longer than the front 2, roof would have had a slope to prevent rain build-up. : )
Glamour! Trees chic! You are so creative and handy! 😊
Nicely done
Beautiful
This’s so cool 😮you did a great job 👏👏
I think you were going in the right direction on using the wires. You just needed more rows of wires to go through all the grommets to support the middle of the fabric, and have the whole unit more sturdy.
You might be right on that one. But I think the wood at the top works better.
This is awesome. Great job. We rent and have very small back deck. Wish we could do this here but they wouldn't let us. It's a great idea though. Love it.
Looks great
You are very talented, you did a great job! VERY INSPIRING!!! THANK YOU!!
I’m amazed by your skill. We women rock. I’m always being told I’m too handy for a pretty woman. I’m going to try and do my own pergola in my backyard. Thanks for inspiring me.
Great job it's beautiful ❤️
great job. looks beautiful. love everything about it down to the flowers
Great idea you may find it better to use stick and sew velcro the soft side has no glue.just in case you gum up your sewing machine up
It looks great, a lot of work, but you did it.
so lovely!
I love love seeing projects 😁it’s absolutely beautiful the mosquito netting is awesome ( I had one that I purchased from Amazon and the weather actually tore it up😞... must have been the wrong material so I will definitely try this 🤩one
You are amazing 👏👏👏👏
This is fabulous, Serena! The netting is so pretty.
Thank you, Dana! I was so enthralled by how pretty the netting was, I want to use the left over netting to make a really full skirt, maybe for Halloween!
@@ThriftDiving oh I love that idea!
Great job!
You did great!
Thank you!!!
You are wonderful🤩 what great work and ingenuity ❣️ Small tip maybe on the weights- some coins or stones for weights may be cheaper maybe? X
I love it....good job!
You're amazing 👏 beautiful work my dear. Well done. Love it!
Nice job. Really nice. For a bigger yard, more "rooms" could be added.
Awesome job great idea thank you
THIS IS AWESOME😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I Love This!!!!!
Very nice
What a great job. I am about to embark into something similar. I never found any video about this on RUclips to give me some extra tips glad I stumbled upon your video 👍
Very nice!
You did an awesome job! It turned out great! I love the b&w striped fabric. I definitely need mosquito netting in my life 😁💚
Yessss! I want to make a skirt out it. It's so pretty when the wind blows it, too! Lol
@@ThriftDiving 😂 I can actually see that! After 36 bites in one summer, I’d need a full Mumu! 🤣
That turned out beautiful! I love it! Maybe gonna do it. I just have to get all my other projects done first!
Thank u SO MUCH UR A BLESSING
You go girl!!
Ur a genius! I just found your channel! New subscriber!😄
You are very patient!! It’s nice. Have you thought about staining the posts?
awesome.
I like the idea, I would probably do this at home.
Hello friend. You never disappoint! Beautiful 😍 OneLove.
You couldnt go wrong with your HOSTAS 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 Remember the ancient Egyptians invented our beloved gromets!
I didn't know that! Wow, that's awesome. I'll have to Google that. And yes, hostas are wonderful! Last year I think the deer were eating it, but this year, they seem to be leaving it alone!
Good job sista ❤
Thank you!!
This is my first time on your channel and I subscribed you right away! Thanks so much for the lovely idea
Great project, looks great
Thank you!!
You could use pennies or nickels for weights as well.
Yes! But you'll need lots of them. The wind can be strong!
Could have use metal straws taped together put in buckets after you drill holes then fill with cement and of course don’t fill the straws that would have given you drain holes for them bucket’s
Where did you buy the mosquito netting? It looks really nice you did a good job Thank you for sharing
I just love your video. I'm going to try something similar. Have you had any issues with it knocking over when it is windy?
Good idea, but making the pista in front about 10 inches shorter would solve your rain problem.
If it pools water could you make another post that is a bit taller and put it in the middle?
Hi did you use the 3x10 mosquito net? 3 of this size thank you so much this is a wonderful video
I'm a new subscriber
Yay, thank you for subscribing, Lateasha!! Welcome!
That look nice a great places to have a coke or Pepsi and relaxing
Definitely!!! Thanks, Melvina!
I have a question about the rug. Doesn't it get wet ??
Where did you purchase the mosquitoe net from
How did the canopy handle heavy rain and wind?
Not good! The rain causes one of the supports to crack because it collected rain (as expected). So definitely make sure that you make the front posts a bit shorter so the rain can easily roll off.
Stain or paint the post
❤❤❤❤❤
🤩
Just make another netting with light colored sheet fabric.
I think I'm going to move it over a bit to the right and place it in front of the door we don't use, to unblock the windows!
Yah, that’s a lot of money and a lot of work to remake that! Good plan! ☺️
ur vert takented!!
Beautiful video ◕‿↼ I love it!!! ❤️
Question.. anytime I try to use mosquito netting I have an issue with spiders wanting to take up residency at the top of the netting. I tried spraying the netting but they still come. Does anyone else have this issue?
Beautiful
why drill holes in bottom of pots b4 adding cement? wouldnt u drill the holes on the sides above where the concrete was so the flowers dirt can drain any excess water? looks cute.
You are so amazing and inspiring with all that you do. This is the perfect project for my daughter since she’s looking for shade options. I never send comments to folks but I wanted to encourage you to keep providing great videos. I appreciate the clarity and instructional content without all the “extra” that others inject. You have a HGTV future or better! I’ve told lots of family diy peeps about your channel. Thank you!
Awww, Deborah, thank you for that feedback!! I feel so special that you left me a message. :) Hope this helps your daughter! I do like that it can easily be taken down off-season or during bad weather. She will love it.
@@ThriftDiving yes, she will!
That's Great for Sharing with Others For A Bright and Great Future.😊🤗☺️😀
Back in the old days (like when I was a kid in the 60s/70s) there weren't a lot of specialised products (eg curtain weights) so we all just used fishing weights. They're strong, small and really cheap. I used to help my mum with her sewing projects (I didn't have bought clothes, except for a kilt, until I went to university. It used to be so much cheaper to sew than to buy. Total opposite now. Even one sewing pattern costs around $20, let alone decent thread at around $ 5--10, fabric, and sew on!) But I digress... The good thing about all this was that I learnt a lot of skills that I now use. Apart from doing some sewing myself (I started by sewing clothes for my teddy when I was 4 years old) I used to cut out mum's patterns, attach grommets, make self-covering buttons, hand-sew hems, thread elastic, etc. I haven't sewn for myself for many years but at least I've got skills I can use in a variety of craft projects.
As an alternative to commercial curtain weights, use the rounded glass "marbles' that are popular to use in flower vases. They are durable, very inexpensive and will add considerable weight to a drapery hem.
The 4x4s in the planters seems like such a good Idea for people that aren't allowed to make permanent changes, or if you want to change the configuration or take it with you from one rental property to the next!
You made it look so easy but I can't even see a button on without a sewing machine 🤪.. I do however have a good trick to hold down the netting, use a hollow curtain rod and fill with sand to weight it the netting down....it worked great at the lake!! Of course I used iron on webbing instead of sewing 🤭
Such a great look, and it could be removed or replaced as needed . Thanks 👍
It amazes me how many you tube videos I've watched where people level posts, fencing, and other things with a standard level. I've had a post level like yours for years, it levels 2 ways so that everything is correct. I paid less than $5.00 dollars for mine, greatest level tool ever invented.
Facts!! They're a must if you're leveling posts! And only like $5!
Those corner holes on the canopy can help water the plants if you put a cheap funnel at the top with a little tubing down the post into your pots. Also I think the Mosquitos will like getting in through the top unless you add more netting over the roof of your structure.
Let us know how it holds up in the rain. It looks fantastic! I have a slight overhang so I’m trying to figure out if this would work for us. Also, could you tell us the approximate cost?
You can use a pressure washer to clean the siding just either turn the pressure down if needed/applicable and/or use a tip with a wide angle... like the (white) 40 degree tip.
I love this creative idea! Especially here in Florida!! I also like that you showed things don't always go as planned, like it does in your mind.... so very true. Just call it "gaining wisdom" hehe
You do a nice job of explaining what you did... it looks great!
Wishing you and your family well, always! 👍
I used a pressure washer on my siding without damage as well. Like you said it all about the proper tips.
