The real challenge is to be able to make this pergola yourself for the lowest cost. To find a solution with cheap materials. For example, wooden slats, but how can we guarantee that it does not warp over 4 m.
In short, I see that my question has generated an atmosphere
But your idea, David, is to tinker with one in your garage or to reduce the prices? The blades in particular, there must be a way to have them made in sheet metal for example for much cheaper!
Hello
I have a friend who is a boilermaker who has made a rather simple and very pretty one at home.
It is a steel frame with horizontal blinds that he can fold up according to his needs.
To make it waterproof you just have to optimize the principle a little more
See photo
@Sb'm not talking too quickly about modular gantry, I'm on it too =) !!!
I don't have 15000€ to put in a pergolla. At this price you have a car. So the idea is to demonstrate that there is a goal and for all do-it-yourselfers to have a design file for self-realization: me first.
This can be a challenge, but why not this time work as a team.....
@david
There are obviously several of us who are interested. And indeed teamwork would be nice on this "social network" for a constructive exchange of ideas. We need a challenge without rewards or rankings...
What do you think @Clémentine?
@ Benoit 100/100 for

Very interesting subject. I opted to buy a chassis at 199€ at the beginning of 3 by 4 but the all-season resistance becomes a problem
To avoid too crazy costs, the wooden structure, which is more resistant, allows you to have winter resistance.
Unfortunately we fall within the framework of declaration because it can turn into a veranda according to the municipal authorities
The dodge is to declare a winter garden lol
The most expensive is the fixing to the ground (the iron legs) which come back to buy at the price of wood for the structure
My manufacturing cost is estimated at 1000€
the canvas!!!! If you take a custom-made waterproof model, you will be around 1000€
so for 2000€ it's manual
l Automation:
Take an electric roller shutter and insert the motorization with adaptation for cable transmission so that the tarpaulin can be folded up. Cost 500€
l automaton use a small IMO with solar and rain sensor sells etc 400€
That's where I am in my "study". I think you can make the set for 4000€ of parts. On this we don't count the time passing but if we estimated we would surely arrive at 8000€
so for me 15000€ an operational system is not that crazy
otherwise my inspiration came from this:
http://www.bricorama.fr/tonnelles/tonnelle-montana/p5166288_r436.html
for framing in all seasons
As an example
The price according to the section from 1 to 3€ per linear m

That's it
Hi all
I see that there is animation here!
What exactly do you expect from me? Would you like to launch a challenge on this subject? But without rewards?
I think the request is + to do a collarative work
via a dedicated space created via the website
with an opening without any request for remuneration for the participants
so that everyone (at least the people who feel concerned) can express themselves and develop a product together
Now I can be wrong
But it is true that it would allow us to know and understand the possibilities of this collaboration tool
waiting for new additional answers from the interlocutors present here
@+ ;-)
Are you talking about opening a free Mycadplace project place for this project?
I think when reading the messages I understood something like this
but I can completely go wrong in asking the other people concerned
@+ ;-)
Good evening
If you wish, I can open a mycadplace folder. Owning a subscription I have 22Giga available.
It is simply necessary to define the roles of each one.
For the management of the said file, a simple list of registrants is made
Regarding the involvement of GT22 I can appoint him administrator of the said file and let him manage
This will allow (I'm not innocent) to push the limits of Mycadplace and to make feedback from it
Indeed, Clémentine, the idea this time is to carry out a joint project. The challenge would be more based on the success of a collaborative project. This may be unprecedented.
Concerning the initial project, it is a question of adjustable slats, but research on other systems, such as tarpaulins, allows us to evaluate the cost. So the analysis of the competition and the different solutions already existing is a good starting point.

@+ ;-)
In order to allow as many people as possible to carry out this project, we need to set a specification.
The initial idea was to make a wooden construction that has the constraint of being to be maintained but easy to work with.
What do you think?
Maybe you can not limit yourself to the material, if you can find a supplier of PVC profiles, for example such as roller shutter slats. or something else...
