Not bad considering you did yourself. Are you in construction line? I'm thinking of doing awning for the back of my house too. Don't know which one is suitable.

yes.. im in construction field..
i do wood work, plumbing work and anything..
i mean im the worker not boss hahaha...

Are you doing part time on your own? Mind to share the price for such awning at your house?

roughly calculation.. (for item cost me for front awning)
for roof tiles, wood, wallplugs, paint (wood varnish & jotashield white), bla.. bla.. bla... ( nails, sand paper, putty piller and so on...)
cost me around RM1800-RM2000.. honestly

cost for labour - free
cost for installation - free
(since i did it myself hahaha)

usually installation and labour wood work for single storey house around rm1600-rm2000> (may diffrent for 2storey)
(yes.. cost for hacking, cement the gutter, water proofing.. paint back... bla bla bla until finish..)


lololo.. any other patern for wood awning? i came here for review others member awning..

I ask MPK... they say this is not awning... it is considered pergola... need arkitek drawing...

i did mine , roof tiles medium grey in colour, they told me need to paint the roof tiles in the colour i requested....cost me RM 2400....to be honest its quite ok for me the price but the workmanship havent see yet...this weekend they put it up....talking bout design it was normal roof like my father had 10 years ago....kindda curious is there any modern design, pergolas yes it kinda modern, but roof tiles i think its all about the same..slanting type....if possible i will post some pic here after they finish the job....we see how the workmanship

i am considering doing polycarbonate awning...still donno which type of material used for frame..balau,resak or metal steel?

bro.. this is awning.. pergola dont have roof.. pergola usually build for plant (flower) to grow and cover that pergola. err.. no need architect drawing.. hehehe... carpenter (like me) can make it...

example large pergolas found from google...



thanks please post some pic for review.


polycarbonate not so heavy... why dont use wraught iron for frame? with iron flower it will be great.

My whole house is using polycarbonate. Noisy when raining.

So what is the best solution other than roof tiles?

Tempered Glass

As weikee said, tempered glass.

Soooo Kawwww Leeee Haiiii !!!

That is why till now i did not put parking porch awing yet. Wait till I save enough bullets.

if any good contractor pls recommend....im thinking to do mine as well...coz when its rain i have my autogate but miserable my car porch design from developer only cover my car ass (as i reverse park ) so why i still wet when having autogate....ermmm this is why,

Walau few rain drop won't harm you lah.

My car porch same as you. Half cover but without autogate. Rain not heavy , I just go down and open gate. After that have a hot bath.

wah...tempered glass ar...i also love to but the price is more than double of polycarbonate...i need to do 372 sq ft awning and polycarbonate already cost me RM9k++......if tempered glass, i think i need to spend more than 30k....

haha.....me ok bro....but datin keep on mumbling...u know la tropic country....

Mine front will be 6 x 22, than my daughter and spare room maybe 4 x 4 x 2, and front first floor exit to front balcony 4 x 4, and my big master bedroom will be 12 x 4. That will sum up to about 228 Sqft

If RM 65 per sqft, that will be come ~ RM 15k

I need to rob a bank.

Your bungalow will be nice using tempered glass
hehehehe... money talks bro... using paper money also can make as roof top hehehe...

My next house will be bungalow, now terrace.

at that time when you wanna buy bungalow, the price should be hit 3-5 mil....

I predict current house is my last house unless I have a very success buisness...

must have +ve thinking

home sweet home.. no matter how small/big your house, as long as you happy and feel good at home that is okay...
but if your house nice than your neighbour... its

Better don't compare, comparing and compete can never end.

back to awning... if using solid polycarbonate (PC) i think its reduce noisy when raining compare to hollow PC...

Same noisy.

Unless you use very thick Poly, if not still very noisy.

very thick? how thick? normally market is using 3mm thick solid poly.....

I think it have to be as thick as a finger. About 12mm? 3mm is way too noisy.

haha...forget it....don't care liao...tempered glass not afford to..even afford also don't willing to pay for that.......as long as my balcony has cover and can sit under it during night...drink tea.....

my poly awning will be installed soon...2-3 more weeks later...deposit paid...

Added on February 28, 2012, 10:34 amweikee, ask your opinion...

if you, what colour of poly will you choose? and will you choose transparent or non-transparent type?

my house is white colour....

This post has been edited by tiensong: Feb 28 2012, 10:34 AM

3mm? My poly thickness more than 3mm. It is green semi transparent. 1 surface smooth and another surface is rough.

Still noisy.

After installation please post pic here... thanks

3mm thickness already cost around rm27/sq ft....if thicker.......mahalnya.....

Yes, and it need more supporting too.

I still headache on choosing colour....i dont like green, blue and red colour.....now left brown and clear (no colour) to choose.....if use transparent, my 300++ sq ft balcony will always under hot sun....so, maybe will choose brown rough surface which can block 85% sunlight...haiz....another decision need to make is...use pergola type (balau wood) or metal frame.....metal easy to maintain....anyone give me some opinion?
Thanks

Last time very cheap 1. That time not that famous with this poly awning. The poly material is from taiwan. If not mistaken, cost me aroung 4-5K.

Added on February 29, 2012, 11:47 amYou got to see the color blend or match to your exterior wall color or not. I choose green cause it match my wall color. And green give brigther look and more light into my house while shading the area.

This post has been edited by ozak: Feb 29 2012, 11:47 AM

Is the brown also transparent? If transparent too, it still have UV coming in and still hot. I will say wood easy to maintain. Metal can rust.

Brown colour rough surface type is no transparent....

wood easy to maintain? hmm......

Should be like this...no transparent because can't see through....



By the way, I signed up with this company..

How about white sand blast?

white sand blast? u mean colour?

Like toilet glass door, is white but cannot see through. Forgot the term.

oh ya...u remind me....can consider use white rough surface too.....but I am sure the brown colour block more sunlight than white colour....

---

Added on February 29, 2012, 12:10 pmif use wood frame, can match with brown colour..

if use metal frame (paint white), can match with white colour..

but, wood frame match with white colour also not bad..i think..

haha...

Obscure glass

Thank you.

my boss just finished build normal awning to cover kids swimming pool.. just normal bumbung like khemah orang kawin punya.. hahaha i will post pic later.. its using hollow PC...

Good choice of colour. Brown blend naturally to house, just like wood, furthermore after long time exposed to weather gets dirty, brown will make the dirtyness look more "natural"

Surely expensive this one....but very nice.....

this called timber pergola...if using balau/resak wood, market price around rm27 per sq ft

kids swimming pool cover..


Rangka Besi.. for cover kids swimming pool


hollow polycarbonate 1.22M x 12.2M


Color: Dark Chocolate/Grey

I bought my awning at Salak South Baru, KL. Price cheapest i can find around that area.

Where can I find this kind of awning? In other world, it call stand seam metal roof. The flat surface min is 15" width. Either flat or a bump but curve in.

this type still bising when raining bro... hehehe

No problem bro. Actually I m not using for shading. Use for others purpose.

just update the pic of swimming kids pool awning...

Nice design. But if this swimming for kid, look abit dangerous. As it look many sharp corner and edge. Once fall and kena head

yup.. i feel it too.. this is existing swimming pool... for kids > 4Y.O...
my kids also here

im looking to have one as well, currently looking at mydelux's safety glass roof & contemporary pergola http://mydelux.com.my/site/index.php?cat=40&page=51

any other option for this similar thing other than mydelux?

my awning size should be 14 ft * 8ft to cover the driveway

Thinking of doing a timber structured awning for my house. Anyone has a good company to recommend?

what type of awning you want to build? for windows or front hall?

using roof tiles or PC or metal deck?
wheres your house bro?

i got job to sambung bumbung belakang rumah orang.. only +3roof tiles...
will post the pic when work in progress... (not start yet hehehe)

Building 2 actually, one for the car porch and the other one for a balcony.
Didn't see your reply earlier bro... sorry. Am located in PJ but i've just contracted Supercool to get it done.

Can be done cheaper than their normal prices, but am really strapped for time at the moment. Will keep you guys updated on their service.

What is the best price they offered you? Mind to PM me?

I just done my timber pergola (polycarbonate) awning two weeks ago with supercool.....how you get to know them?...hehehe..Mr Jeff is so nice...

And I tot their price already very low and competitive.....I can't get any lower than supercool.....overall, satisfy with their workmanship (currently)....hope can tahan for 10 years~!

This post has been edited by tiensong: Apr 16 2012, 02:27 PM

Cheaper meaning i get my own fellas to do it but that would mean i have to go source the wood, get the perspex sheets, stainless steel bolts, etc... plus supervising the build which i don't really have time for at the moment. Otherwise it can be cheaper, and considering that they're using Balau wood, price is considered decent.

Agree.....their workers worked until 9pm for me.......so hardworking.....

Can PM the price for timber pergola? I wanna do one with roof tiles. Thanks

today i build my old customer awning.. (can consider awning?)
belakang rumah...


open that spoiler
& feel free to comment or critics my work

This post has been edited by mav_850: Apr 17 2012, 01:08 AM

do you doing part time job..eg roof.

do this only if you have the know how, else makan sendiri

Hey guys, anyone of you ever tried to source those panels they use for awning yourself.
What I mean is get the panels cut to size.
In my case want to use as table top and door cover (security door middle hole, want to cover half.
Where to get at reasonable price?
Any idea on estimated price?

Not a problem. Have done it before.

Added on April 17, 2012, 4:31 pmYou should be able to get those hardware shops to order for you.
Please ensure you don't use polycarbonate type, as it gets dirty quite quickly.

sorry tumpang topic..

i installed polycarbonate skylight at my back yard, but result is not as expected. My back yard is 5 feet and the skylight is only 6 feet.. thus rain water comes in easily..

are there any solution for this? adding something like curtain? or I have to cover my grill with some plastic/glass?

here the photo:

unluckily you must extend around 2feet from that grill...
install the gutter may help?

Guys,

Can you reccommend some good contractor supply and install roof tiles? I was quoted RM37 per sq ft.

Thanks

Hi Can PM me your supplier? I asked for a quotation recently...it is about RM27 psf and each column is RM350..so expensive

Wow, you hack your wall with hole. The hole is not very deep right, I could see the red brick inside the wall. Is the deep on the hole same tick as per the cement that cover the red brick ?

i hack the wall around 1.5inch deep bro.... not only the plaster..

to all friends, i'm planing to built roof totally like this picture polycarbonate plus rangka besi, the different is i want to attached direct to wall
how much price for this hollow polycarbonate?how they quote the price? the purpose is i wanted to put the washing machine and clothes hangar outside my home .

need advice

thanks
