When I built mine, from 6x6’s, I put all of the steel brackets on the wood before erecting it. It’s the quickest and easiest way to do it. Mine is a double bay 12’x26’. Each of the 6 legs had the steel pieces already attached. It’s the way to go. So much faster.

I'm thinking about buying a couple lengths of 4" square tubing and making my own fittings. Thanks for your review.

Thank you for the video and love to see the teamwork during the video. #marriagegoals 💯🤞🏿

Good Job, thanks for the video! I am building a flat ground deck and just saw you anchor them down to the joists. Smart move! I think I need to do the same. My surface is on a slope and I don't know how to get it to level so this method maybe easier for me. First, I need to get a ground level deck and then attach to joists.

How do you secure the posts, so that wind does not rip them out ? I like tojagrid and also have a low deck, but I am concerned that if I screw the posts simply onto the deck boards the next strong wind is going to blow these posts onto my neighbor's fence or backayard.

They are having a scratch and dent sale off of Facebook Marketplace. I just picked up a 4x4 set for $300. Can't wait to set it up in spring!

Those brackets are robotically welded. I know the people who built the welding cells. Apparently it was very difficult to program and get the proper torch angle. P.S. I am a robotics technician.

13:13 is the cutest part of the video ! whr the robot shows up to inspect !:(

Looks good! I'm actually getting my deck extended and we're going to be installing one of these Toja pergola

[stevenebel]

Is there a way to anchor straight into the ground without cementing?

[Howto-uouc]

Great video hows did you anchor it to the composite decking and what hardware did you use and how it holding up

[thedyslexic]

I have only 12' of patio from house to edge of it so if I want a (whatever length - 8 - 10 - 12) x 12' deep pergola, it seems that it wouldn't fit since the bases extend that distance out by 10" to 12' 10". Is that correct? I was thinking I could just make the beams shorter by 10" but then the shade wouldn't fit properly? What is the final distance from outer edge of one base to outer edge of the other?

[deennzz]

Did your 4x4 wood fit perfectly in the middle piece? Did you have to sand it down a bit?

[gbcubed]

Thanks for the video. We are considering this for a patio in a building that we live in. We cannot secure it to the ground (it's a roof). We are considering placing a cinder block around each base bracket and filling it will sand. Do you think that would be enough to keep it anchored?

[rodn]

Great video! The price of wood right now will be the same as the hardware! Wish me luck setting mine up. lol

Does the casement window open entirely? Looks like it might hit the post if opened.

I need a 12x 20 ft pergola. Would this work for my project? I heard these brackets are expensive but if I do it mysel I will be a lot better money wise than paying someone to build me one from scratch right?

[Suthan.Mano]

Does the wind escape during windy days as there are gaps between the top frames and the fabric? I'm curious as I installed this on a rooftop with composite decking (using 5 inch tapcons)

[bakervinci]

I raised up a squared pergola and put it on six inch shorter poles on the lower side. I can’t get it to set square. I think I’m gonna have to replace the shorter post with the same length and figure my drainage another way
