There are two ways to have this done, one would be to see one side of the patio cover on top of the roof and the other will be called lean in patio cover. When it is lean into the house is attached to the side of your home and this way it will cover you from the rain or the sun.
@@RedblocksvideosI’m trying to build one, with permit. House already has a flat roof addition to the back. There’s a pergola at the moment nailed to the fascia, but it looks ghetto. Do you think it’s possible to build one a bit higher than a flat roof , so it over laps maybe a foot? Pitch the rain away. Thanks !!
This one is interesting because you chose to separate the house from the patio. Was it just preference that you didn't adjoin the roof of the house with the patio? I mean you wouldn't be worried weather or not rain or high wind and rain could plummet in between the two? It's still a great job but gutsy, lol.
I didn't want to complicate the construction of the patio, tying it to the house would be more steps to follow. Just like that it was faster and easier.
I actually like the idea of not disturbing the house roof, my house is only a year old so I’m weary about messing with a new roof. I did notice the rain gutter so that should help with most rain water coming through the separation. I’ve seen quite a few videos and after seeing this video I’m pretty much going through with this set up.
what type of post wood do you use? I used the pressure-treated and I chose them. I didn’t let this store close for me, that usually keep out the worst ones.
@@Redblocksvideosyou have to use redwood. Everything has to be redwood. It will last for long time and look pretty too. Pressure treated is for fence post. You are using wrong materials
Great job. What is the square footage? And what's the estimate of all the materials for this project? I like to do something similar on my back porch with a screen.
Great job! What height did you cut the posts at? Doing mine this weekend similar to yours, free-standing with the high side of the roof just above the house to keep the area under the patio cover dry. I like how this design maintains easy access to service the gutters.
I don’t remember the height of the post, I honestly didn’t measure how high they were going to be. They are the same high as the roof, and from there I did a slope of a quarter of an inch for every foot with my string level. I left a link for the string level from Amazon. If you want to purchase it it’s about three dollars. The actual party cover was about 14 to 15 inches above the roof total counting beam, and the Raptors going across. Hopefully this makes sense.
@@Redblocksvideos Oh yes this makes total sense, thank you! I installed the 3 posts near my house first to get the height of the beam on the posts correct then installed the remaining 3 posts and beam away from the house. I used your string level idea too, thanks. My rafter length is 12 feet, have not decided if I will slope to quarter of an inch or higher because I'm concerned of rain water not falling fast enough down the metal panels. Maybe I will go 3/8 of an inch and use galvanized roofing screws that have the rubber washer and caulk them all.
Glad to see you used hex bolts instead of the little 3 1/2" screws and the 'finishing' washers that are fake nuts. The finish solution from simpson is like 3x as much compared to using 6" bolts that will be stronger anyway.
I really don’t have a problem with that, probably because it’s pretty big and he has six post instead of four. It does move a little bit if push on purpose, otherwise it’s just fine.
if you’re looking for than at home depot, you won’t be able to find it in stock. they are spacial order head over to customer service and place the order. 6x10x14 this is the size for the beams and for the post i use 6x6x8. 👍🏾
That’s a great question. In my county the minimum slope that this construction built has to have is a quarter of an inch for every foot minimum , this cover has 3” slope because it is 16 feet long. i used a string line level for this.
Does your patio cover stop even with gutters edge of the house or go over the gutter to edge of house? I want free standing to get more height but I also don't want rain to get between house and patio cover. How far do you think you can over hang house without interfering with future roofing replacement?
this patio cover is high enough so it doesn’t interfere with the house roof and goes 2 feet past the gutters. I don’t remember the exact measurement, but I did make it where it’s not too high that when the wind blows it doesn’t bring the water with it. I did it this way so I could walk outside and not get wet.
they are pressure-treated 6 x 6 x 8. They were a special order at Home Depot. If you go to the pro section you can order any size you like they do not have it in stock.
yes, i first cut all the post from one side of the cover and have them level, after a run my string from the top of the post to the other side and marked it
Great work. Was the floor made of concrete or did you dig hole and put concrete to hold the posts. If dug hole, how deep and wide did you pour concrete?
I do not have a complete list, but I did use 2 x 6 regular number by 16 and 6 x 10 x 14 beams, and 6 x 6 post, 6 x 6 house brackets and 3/4 of an inch by six anchor bolt, also bracket and a tie tie bracket for a 6 x 6 beam, I also use 4 x 8 half-inch plywood for the roof and six by one facia board
I'm wanting to do something like this for my patio which is 33' x 9', that means I'll have to get different lengths 6x10 beams and posts be distanced unevenly. Anyone know if that'll affect the weight distribution?

Always put the nut on the bolt then hammer it to the concrete that way you don't mess up the threads
thank you that’s great advice 👍🏾
Most anchor bolts are designed to where you won't mess up threads when hammering down
Thats a false statement, you will mushroom the top if you strike it to much or wrong on any anchor, always put the nut to where its flush to top of anchor@MrFaststang
Negative. Do not hammer. Your gun has hammer mode with no spin setting. Bolt has a dimple on threaded end. Set nut and use hammer gun to drive in bolt
