Building a DECK and PERGOLA - Full Build Time Lapse!
What happens here
Begin by constructing a robust wooden framework for the outdoor fireplace and the adjacent feature wall. Once the frame is complete, cover it entirely with plywood sheathing. Following this, apply a layer of Tyvek HomeWrap over the plywood as a weather barrier. Finally, secure a dark, peel-and-stick waterproofing membrane to the lower sections of the structure, providing a critical base layer before stone veneer application.
Goal: Construct the structural framing and sheathing for the outdoor fireplace and feature wall
