This is an awesome diy idea
Thank you so much, that's really motivates me.
Great work Thanks for sharing
Very good idea.
Very nice and ingenious, i love it.
Great instructional video, and I'm buying my materials tomorrow. My pergola is boiling hot on the south side of the house. Thank you kindly you produced a great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Best video of retractable canopy on youtube till now
Thanks to your video! I adapted this system for my pergola in Chile and it works very well. 2 years of use now. 👌
Clever…you must have read my mind. Definitely using this idea for a future project. Thanks for sharing👍🏼
Brilliant. Very clear and concise video. Can't wait to try it once my pergola is up.
Let me know if you have any problems.

Thank you! That serve to me, for the wedding of my only son, I appreciate so much!🙏🏻👌🏻👏
One of the best simple and detailed videos. Brilliant! Thank you.
How much for the hardware. I have waterproof materials I'm want to use
That good idea bravo its amazing tommorow i want to make one to my houses thank you plus more cheaper and i can use sun too for drying clouth wacthing from philippines
A great Video and great idea. 1) You can quickly remove cloth and wash. It will get moldy from rain. 2) Bad on the fold up portion as it will catch rain water. But as noted, this Pergola has a clear panel roof to protect that. Very Great Video !
Thank you for your detailed demonstration!
Was trying to figure this out and literally find exactly what I envisioned. Well done Customer is going to love it.
did you get a sewing machine to create the pockets where the sticks go in or is there an easier way to do that?
This is exactly the design and canopy I have been trying to describe to my husband. This video is perfect! Thank you!
Hola 🙋 ! felicitaciones ! Por tu trabajo. Voy a poner en práctica tu idea. Un abrazo desde Tucumán-Argentina ❤️
Needed at least one good shot of the whole pergola.
Yep. I was thinking that too. Difficult to get an idea on how it looks with all close ups.
Probably doesn't look the best tbh
This looks easy enough to try, and I like that you even included how to make a simple "hook on pole" with which to pull and retract the shades. I'm going to check if I can buy Sunbrella or Shade Sail fabric at a good price and tackle this project for the summer. Thank you!
You can buy material from lowes in the gardening area.I got a bunch for really cheap(marked down)in a nice beige color.
@@cynthiacrawford6147 Thank you for the tip!
Отличная идея! Спасибо Вам!
Genial!!!!!. Habia visto el sistema en una revista pero aquí se v re facil. Gracias👏👏👏👏. saludos desde Bs As Argentina 😚
Llevo meses buscando algún tutorial justo así. Así mismo. Y nada. Hasta hoy que justo ya había ideado otra manera de hacerlo. Pero x supuesto su manera es la q me encanta!! Que fácil, de verdad
Simple, effective and beautiful
Thank you for this - its exactly what I want to do for my pergola!
I love it! It makes perfect sense, i love the fat that the video shora are clear and slow, making it easy to understand. Thak you so much!
Спасибо, Юра! Отличная идея. Подписываюсь.
Beautiful and a great video too! Thank you for posting.
Extra mega súper profesional!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻ojalá pudiéramos tener una panorámica del trabajo, el color es hermoso y los detalles muy limpios!!
¡¡Sencillamente hermoso,me encantó!!
Short but sweet.....nice job
Great idea. Have been thinking of a simple way to do this & you have given me great ideas. Will need to make 2. One for my main home to cover my hot tub and one for my deck at my mountain home. Might use metal since Arizona sun is hard on wood. Thanks for sharing.
I saw one that used 1/2" rigid galvanized electrical conduit vs the wood. Would definitely be better for longevity.
I copied this on the cheap. Used thrift shop sheets and they’ll need replacing each year, so don’t know about that. I’m going to redo and put the tightener thingy in the middle of the lines like you did......much better than mine (at the end of the line) as that prevents the shades going right to the end. I also used a clothesline to pull the shades back n forth as my granddaughter loves pulling the shades, but think I’ll switch to your plan to not have to deal w the lines. Got all my inspiration from your video, thank you!
This is amazing! I'll use the concept for sunshade cloth for my vegetable garden 🧡 Thank you!
Such a wonderful and easy idea! We have been looking for something that looks like this, but all of the ideas were very complicated. Thank you! We will be doing this!
Fulll idea 👍👍👍😅me encantan las cosas así practicas felicitaciones desde Colombia ... Gracias...
Columbia thank you for your comments
Hi I'm from Malaysia, This is a very simple way... I been thinking how to make a pergola for my cats... thanks so much...🙏🙏🙏
Same here.
Thank you for this idea! I am going to fashion something like this for my pool lanai with curtains. Awesomeness!
Fantastic how-to video! A simple design that is quite effective. Bravo!
This gives me an idea, that maybe I could do the same thing for my small covered patio!
Even the non meme stuff is useful 😁😂
this is by far the best and most simple and nice looking DIY pergola i have found! i liked a lot the fabric you used. I will be follwing your project for sure
Awesome! Thank you!
按照这个教程,我打算开始做自己的遮阳帘啦,谢谢!
Great project. Use grommets for strength and durability. Cheaper too.
Rafi Khan Grommets definitely, sewing hems, pinching the hooks closed. Great idea. Well implemented. Terrific!
What are gromets and where to put them? Thanks.
I like your idea the best..I’ll try to install it on my patio ..thank you for your help
Soooo awesome! Super easy to see what is needed and how you did it!! Excellent excellent video!! Thank you so very much!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Mesmerizing … I love the details.. closely showing the hardware and how to attach may seem obvious to most but it’s those specifics that make a project so much easier. Also the choice of music was also relaxing . Informative and chill - and no specific language spoken- I could go on and on. And I can go do this project confidential now too!
THANK YOU YURA YOUR VIDEO IS VERY INSPIRING FOR TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAS SUNNY AREAS AND NEED A PROJECT HERE IN TEXAS THE PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT IN SUMMER IS TERRIBLE AND WE NEED SOMETHING FOR MY PATIO, WE HAVE A RETRACTABLE AWNING BUT IT JUST PROTECT THE AREA CLOSE TO DOOR AND THE REST IS BURNING. WE ARE TAKING YOUR IDEA TO DO OURS, THANK YOU. AH WE ARE FEBRUARY 2020
Love your comment, Carmen. Thank you so much. Suggestion - You may want to turn off your all capital letters lock. When words are typed in all caps, it is suppose to be read like the person is heavily accenting their speech or rather screaming. I don't think you meant us to believe you were screaming. It's all fine to type with the normal type instead. Again though, thank you for sharing. What you said is so darn true for us here in the Central Valley of California as well. Summers are scorching here and I have a pergola that needs some attention.
Great idea, simple and practical. I'll do it at home. Thank you and best regards :)
I went today and bought hardware and materials to make this for my pergula by our pool. Very nice video.
I am always glad to help.
Bravo from greece...
Beautiful. I like it very much, was thinking similar thing to cover from the harsh sun, will proceed with this idea. Thanks !
Está genial, y fácil de realizar. Gracias por vuestro tiempo 😀
This is a nice & budget friendly Idea for a Pergola probably less than $ 300 very nice …I wished you would have added the individual cost for the Items & how much of it you needed to build it …it’s always a plus & you forgot to show a whole Picture of the finished Project! Anyways I thank you for sharing your Project & I think it’s Perfect !👍🏻
Excellent sharing good job👍👍🙌
simple. elegant. no BS. I like it a lot!
I appreciate that!
Great idea, simple and practical. I will do it at home. Thank you and best regards :)

Joelma Machado! Boa tarde. Com o devido respeito, esse trabalho está míope. Eu tenho a mesma idéia do VerumPoster nos seus comentários. Mais objetivas e menos frustrações.

Buenisimo!!! El mas Facil y practico de.los que he visto!! Ojala pueda hacerlo...gracias por compartir...
Muy buen trabajo... Saludos genio...
Felicitaciones. Muy practico y fácil de construir
Most important part left out. Sewing the seams. Finding a seamstress or having the proper equipment and know how will make or break this project. No one will do anything today without over charging and to find someone that will get off the couch is near impossible. Nice job, thanks…
Que pasada y que sencillo.el mejor que he visto.mil gracias
Excelentemente explicado,muchísimas gracias,Dios les Bendiga,gracias por compartir
Melhor vídeo.. vou fazer aqui na minha casa.. obrigada
Excellent thankyou !!
Buen trabajo muy fácil de hacer!
