This is a cheap and simple patio cover made from easy to find materials and requires almost no experience to build. The cost for all the materials is only about $700. Once the parts were all cut, my wife and I were able to build the entire frame in a day. I can't tell you how much this has improved our backyard time. The cushions on our patio furniture used to always be wet. Now we have nice dry chairs to sit on every evening, rain or shine. I purposely designed this to use only materials that were cheap and easy to transport. Basic 4x4's, 2x4's, and 2x6's. And nothing over 12 feet long so it would all fit in my 4-Runner. No heavy parts or complicated cuts. I designed the overall dimensions to fit my house/patio situation (Roughly 10' by 13'6").

I do recommend the Kreg K4 Pocket Hole system for this project. I use a lot of pocket holes in my designs because it produces strong joints that look clean and professional.

Plans include:
- List of Materials
- Animated Video and instructions
- Cut List
- Detailed Assembly Drawings
- Digital CAD file for reference (STL and Parasolid*)

*I recommend uploading the .x_b file to Autodesk A360 file viewer and using it for reference on your phone or tablet as you build. It allows you to select each part and see the part number. This is VERY useful and makes the building process super easy.

The plans are good. There needs to be a cut list and a little bit better instructions but besides that we now have a beautiful pergola that everyone loves. We added slats in the back to add a little je ne sais quoi. I have 3 stars for customer service because I heard back only once from the seller when I had questions.

Peter has been more than delightful to partner with! He worked with me (patiently, I might add) to modify the existing plans to fit my patio perfectly. He even enlisted his wife to help me decide, aesthetically speaking, exactly how big to go. I have not built the cover yet, but the material, list, drawings, photos, and installation video provided by Peter pretty much guarantee that I won't get frustrated in the middle of the build and that not only will I be successful, but it will be a wonderful addition to our patio. I will post photos ASAP. I know there are many free plans online, but being able to communicate with the developer to ensure they are structurally sound is especially important to me. Thank you, Peter!!!

Great clean design and detailed cut plans for all the parts. I wish there were step-by-step instructions with a bit more detailed drawings for some assembly for a not-so-handy person like me. We ended up not building as exactly but overall this was a great reference. Thank you.
