Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much for showing the real amount of work and time that goes into this. I'm so tired of 5-minute videos that make it look like it can be done in a day. High quality work!
Great video, but please lose the music and give some instruction and rationale instead! I would've loved to hear the details of what you were doing, even if you just talked over the time lapse.
I would have to agree, only because either some kind of step by step instructions would not only be helpful it would get you a lot more views for your channel. BTW did u use pressure treated wood?
This video is amazing! I am an amateur DIYer. Recently built a deck in my backyard and looking forward to build a roof over the deck attaching to the house. Thank you for showing all these steps. It has been very helpful.
I like that you don't talk too much like other youtubers. They spent too much time to explain and talk and talk. Watching your video, I think I learn a lot.
Wow this is perfect. im building one too and i like how you made it go under the overhang so you dont have to mess with the gutter. I have the same setup too at my house. I enjoyed the video.
I just started a very similar patio off the side of my house, so thanks for the video, it was great. I'm definitely going to use the 6x6 posts and 4x4 header. Quick question though, any idea what the snow load is for that roof? I am going to be using a 2x10 ledger with 2x8 rafters and then I am topping it with a corrugated steel roof. I just want to make sure it can stand up to the Wisconsin snowfalls. Side note: I will have a much steeper pitch to my roof than yours was. Mine is 9.5/12 pitch, which makes me believe most of the snow is going to slide off anyway.
2x6 rafter that we used seems to be appropriate for the snow loading that we get here in Northeast. With 2x8 rafters and higher pitch, I think you should be okay. If you have attic access take a look at the ceiling and see what rafter did they use for the house roof. You can also find a few loading calculators online as well to verify.
I'd like to have something like this built off the side of my house along my driveway to create a carport. I was so glad to stumble upon this video. Thanks guys!
We don't have a separate video for the rafters. BUt the rafters were cut at the end with same pitch as roof and notched to accommodate the rafter hangers.
You all didn’t even show the most important part the headed how to attach it to the building itself to start the wood coming down off of it. Nobody ever shows that part of the video to me. That’s the most important part.
Hey there. I see a lot of similarities in our channels. Just wanted to tell you guys are doing an awesome job and I wish you guys luck. You just got a sub from me. Keep up the good work.
Evidently the homeowners had no intention of repairing the peeling and eventually rotting soffit. Would have been an easy fix before the new patio roof???
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad that you noticed. We checked the soffit and it was not rotting. Just the paint peeling. We didn't touch the paint as may contain lead since this was a older house. But definitely one should repair the soffit timely if its rotting.
Awesome video. Shows exactly what I wanted to see in detail. Have a question - has the angle been driven just by how high you could install the ledger, or was it actually calculated to make sure it takes the full load of a snow cover in the winter (since North Jersey does get snow)? I have a very similar setup, but elevated on top of a deck, and the area is a bit larger - 18 x 20" and have been trying to figure the loading, angles etc. Don't know if I can do just a simple slope like this or have to do a full gable roof with a steeper slope. Also, I want to try and just see if I can get away with 2 posts rather than 3... would using 2x12 for a beam work for that, over 2 6x6 posts roughly 20 ft apart?
Our height is driven by how high we could go with the ledger board. Also, we wanted a clear height 7.5-8 ft height at the end. If you have the option, go with a steeper slope. I wont recommend post spacing more than 16 ft. is you use 2x12 as beam, then I would at least double them to make like a 4x12 beam.
Also will depend on what roofing you wish to use. Can't shingle or shouldn't shingle anything lower than a 3/12 pitch. Under that and will need to roll roof/tpo or metal roof/open fastner or standing seam.
I was thinking the same thing. My and my buddy could have done it in 1 day! Especially since all posts and rafters are cut to the same length. It's just a shed roof. By the way, if the saw man premarks every 16"OC on your plywood. The nail man can't miss when nailing to the rafters. So that saves time and money. No need for 2 sheets of plywood.......with all that being said. You guys did do a good job. Just need to work on your speed alot.
I used this video to show a client who wanted a patio cover. She liked the clip and the idea of a project such as this. Just finished and it turned out well
Thank you for the feedback. The cost would depend on multiple factors including geographic location. Estimated labor cost would range between $3k to $5k where as the material itself would be around $1.5k. The lumber prices have significantly gone up in the last few months. We also did the extension of the patio concrete slab prior to the patio roof. Check our patio concrete slab video from our channel page. th-cam.com/video/nVe-eQfe4cQ/w-d-xo.html
OMG! this is so frustrating. The prices of lumber has almost doubled since last year. Luckily we were able to get the patio roof done just before the prices went up. I did take a hit on my recent projects like the fence we did and front porch. Hope the prices would go down in near future.
@@HandyBros Prices are crazy especially for the plywood. Compared to estimates to have it done for me, totally worth the price to do it myself. Thanks for the video. I will be tackling mine this weekend.
Thank you for the feedback. We will be on a lookout for that :) To make it simple and avoid additional cost, we didn't tie this with the existing roof. It was a old house and who knows what surprises lies under the existing roof. Also, we didn't want to touch the existing gutter either.
My question is how were you able to nail the roof shingles down under the facia of the existing roof since your so close. I plan to build this over my deck in my backyard
This video dominates, not just because the content is useful, but because of the way you time-lapsed it against easy-to-listen music and didn't waste time explaining minutia that we can all see for ourselves. Putting up the occasional amplifying information without breaking tempo, listing the details in the description instead of spending precious video time doing it, filming from beginning to end, this is the way "How To" videos should be done. Well done. Now I'm going to go start drafting out plans for my own patio roof. Thanks gents.
Have u done or considered an insulated cover? Aluminum . Finished on both sides, polystyrene center about 4 inches thick. Nice finish Pitch only needs 1/4” drop? One day install. Trying to figure cost difference myself. Big advantage is pitch. Attached to fascia.
Thank you for the feedback. Share with us the product link for details. Higher pitch would have been better but out current pitch for the roof was minimum acceptable for the asphalt shingles.
I wish you lived in AZ, I'd hire you to do this for me. I currently have a wood pergola that's rotting and I want to replace it with full covered roof. I have 3 concrete pillars holding it up so wouldn't need the posts you put in. The rest of the house is tile though, not sure what kind of shingles would look good on it if any. Most people are replacing theirs with the aluminum ones. Enjoyed your video.
I built a covered area over my deck. I tucked the joists under the overhang. In the winter, I started getting ice dams since the snow had nowhere to go. I had to roof rake about 3 feet on both the house roof and the covered roof to keep ice from forming. Just an FYI.
@@HandyBros it wasn't steep pitch at all because the span was 14ft. But I never had ice damns before that. There was about a 6" difference between the house roof and the covered deck roof
Awesome project! Question, how did you fix or attach the beam to the posts? The video is fast and from afar, it's difficult to say where exactly you put the screws in.
@@m.santos1520 ... I never got a reply... the only thing I can think of there were no nails placed under that portion..and maybe laid the shingles with some type of adhesive....
Let me start with saying that is a nice looking patio cover. I'm a licensed general contractor in California and here we wouldn't be able to build it like that. Thats to much weight on the top. I don't know where this is at . But in California we have to pour footings for our post with embedded post brackets . You need to be able to transfer the load across the beam and down the post to a footing. Not just anchored to the slab.
Thank you for the feedback. We don't anticipate much load except for the deadweight of the structure and some snow load. I totally agree that having a footing would definitely be a better option than slab anchor.
Why double plywood ?
🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Im a carpenter in Canada and ive never seen that before 🤷🏽♂️
Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.
Also it makes lifting the plywood easier. 3/4” plywood is heavy and the higher you go, the harder it falls.
Nice work 👍where was this city ??
