"The wood that OnCenter used for my Pergola was defective and they refuse to stand behind their warranty. They tell me that If Menards will not warranty their wood, then how can they. I think it is terrible that I paid $6400 to have a nice pergola on my back patio and I am left with cracked, defective wood. I was told that OnCenter would only replace a portion of the pergola (they could not deny how bad this wood was; but they refuse to replace the entire thing. It is the entire pergola that has the same wood and all of that wood is cracking badly. It will not do me any good to have half of the pergola replaced, only to have the other half keep cracking and be a different color. I tried to explain this to Sam Cox, owner of OnCenter, and he told me that; he cannot control how wood ages; For the money I paid, I really think I should enjoy my pergola and be able to look at it and have my visitors look at it without being ashamed of how unsightly it is. I have a nice house and wanted a nice pergola. I feel I will now need legal representation and have to reach out to Menards corporate office myself. I will have to do the fight that OnCenter should be doing. Terrible"

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.

Yes, you can hang picture frames, shelves, and other items on Trusscore panels. For lightweight items (less than 30 pounds), the company recommends using adhesive strips rather than nails or screws. However, you’ll need to secure heavier objects to a stud in the wall. In these situations, Trusscore recommends cutting away the panel material and fastening the object to the stud with metal hardware.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
