Took about 7 days after I got all hardware and wood onsite. A pergola is just framework without a solid roof, almost anybody can build this type structure, don’t let anybody rip you off with some outrageous bid. I used all red cedar, stained and sealed to save natural color. I bought all materials from Bayou City Lumber, www.bayoucitylumber.com ask for Jim

Well done Mr. Stevens!
now you have a nice ledge to do some cannonballs into the pool
Hey Mr. Stevens, I’m planning on building a pergola and I was just wondering what your input would be on how I would be able to secure them to the ground. In our back yard we have wood decking everywhere. Would it be secured on the wood floor just fine or should I make a hole and use post holes and concrete? Thanks for the awesome video btw! It looks absolutely beautiful!
You should paint it black or go with a darker stain like an espresso. That would contrast better with the color and style of your house. That stain you have now is nice but it's too golden.
You can do it just take your time. Thanks for the nice comments
Congratulations, great work, sir. The labor would be the difference of $14.316.00 and that would be $2.863.20 PER DAY. THAT IS A RIP OFF FROM THE SO CALLED 'EXPERTS". If I can do it, without calling them, I will. Unbelievable. It is my next project in February.
Beautiful. It’s about the same size I want to build. Now I know approx what lumber should cost me. Thank you. One question- what kind of hardware did you use to attach your cross beams to the main beams?
Beautiful, it looks great, if you don’t mind what was the total cost of all the materials used in this project?
What a beautiful result. xx
Love the dog!,,
How are the upright pieces secured to the concrete?

good job older man!!
What color stain is that?
Great job! How did you exactly attached the rafters. Just one of these on each end https://ozcobp.com/product/2-rafter-clips-ls/ ? Did you make any notches?
loved watching this. Thank you for great video!
there is no way they built that in 15 minutes
because you did not pay yourself. bidding usually includes labor, not just materials.
Some people in the comments might want you to build one for them for free… Great 15 minutes!
No audio, no directions , no steps, no suggestions is equal to unlike
If any house needed a pergola, this is it.
Do you have the plans for this build?
top notch job!!
Your hole was beautiful before pargola.
Awesome amazing impressive great job
Sir. how you attached those main columns to the ground? Coz am a building these on my huge balcony ..
