Finished my pergola project!
Finished my pergola project!made from timber from an e bay bargain ten 12'x7"x2" joists that were £26! roof sheets weren't cheap though, £120
The timber for the bamboo panels I had to turn 30' of 3x2 into 1x1 with my trusty circular saw, took a bit of time. Bamboo was £12, screw caps for the roof panels were £9, screws i got from work fence paint i already had. total cost £167. Expensive yes but it means we can use the patio in all weathers, think of it as a poor mans conservatory. Had a BBQ tonight to christen it! Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.
Re: Finished my pergola project!Wow Steve, thats fantastic
Love the screening idea in the corners
Re: Finished my pergola project!Looking good Steve , any spare sausages? ..
I am old and wise, because I was young and stupid!.
Re: Finished my pergola project!I personally don't think it is expensive, imagine how much it would have cost if you had someone else to do all the work too Another room so to speak, well done you
Re: Finished my pergola project!Actually you have added a room to your house! Look at it that way, it's very inexpensive, right? Beautiful job, Steve. You and your family will enjoy it for many years.
Re: Finished my pergola project!That's great Steve - love the idea with the screening

Re: Finished my pergola project!Sorry silverback, I eated all the sausages
For the panels, take 30' of this; Turn it into 180 foot of this; To make 7 of these; It took me around 5 hours to make those, worth it I think for the finishing touch? Around 2 full days from start to finish, I deserve a rest now Well, until I find another project Some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue.
Re: Finished my pergola project!Top job that Steve.
I like the way you have done the bamboo too. £167 isn't expensive when you consider the use you will get out of it and as you know it makes barbequeing possible in all weathers. [center]Relax, I could have been a twin.[/center]
