Description of Build
This course will walk you through everything you need to make an amazing half pergola so you and your family can relax in hammock swings during the day and enjoy your movie theater in the evening. This build will show everything from recommended depth of footings, how to check city requirements, deciding between cost effective or long lasting lumber, securing your hidden screen, and the path to plan ahead for a future full backyard pavilion.
Cost Estimate
$600.
These estimates are created on the assumption that you will buy all materials from the list and no new tools. This number will fluctuate by supply costs in your area, the amount of extra materials you have, and your access to tools needed.
Potential Market Value
$2,000.
These estimates are representative of what a handmade comparable item might sell for on the market. Market value can fluctuate and items that lean heavily into art, design, or high quality will affect perceived value.
Time Estimates
10-20 hours.
Time estimates are very tough to calculate and manage expectations since we all learn at different speeds. Mostly, variations in time depend on your skill level. Items that you’ll need to consider for yourself when setting a plan are “how well do I know the tools on the list”, “am I more of a practice perfectionist or cut and fix person”, “do I want customizations/personalizations”. The low end of this number is how quickly the teacher could go through the course and build the item. When taking this course you’ll make a pledge to never rush when using any power tools or dangerous materials.
