The honesty in this video is probably a good teaching tool for a lot of viewers. Such a good video!

That's the to learn, when you are humble enough to explain with head high. Don't be embarrassed by your mistakes. At list others will learn. Very good my friend. Keeping doing the way you do it. I'm learn to do right, by someone understands they mistakes. God bless.

Nice job! You have a very nice set up there. The patio, the garden and the baby. Once again nice job. Hope your family enjoys it!

Nice job. same project I plan to do and keep free standing, no attachment to house. Appreciate your ambition to tackle this project without guide plans which I have done before to build my 10 x 12 shed. The rafters and double door build were the more challenging yet rewarding tasks. Amazing how focus and creativity work hand in hand. Thanks for the explanatory video.

Thank you for the first tutorial I have found that actually fits into a small budget! We want to do something very similar for our outdoor area, you have given us the confidence to give it a go!

Thank you for sharing this video, very helpful and nice job.❤

What a cozy backyard! 😊 so cool.

It's 2024 of March, and this has been very informative. Thank you. Now if you can come over to Tacoma and help, it would be super duper very informative. Haha. Thanks

Good job. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Thank you! I'm no longer scared to start this thing anymore.

Love this! live in the northeast Texas. Hired a local handyman back in 2009 to build something similar, in my it was a simple DIY patio cover inside the corner where the roof had not been extended over the back door. Very similar design, but mine only consisted of the bare bones wood structure only. He constructed an utter piece of junk for me, I know he charged me way too much, ( Over a thousand, between 1.5 and 3, but I don't remember). I was disgusted when he finished, then asked me for more money to put the felt tar, flash and metal cover on. I knew I had been taken advantage of, so I said no and decided to accept the basic as a loss. I did not know DIY back then. I ended up having to demolish it. Watching you build this, all I kept thinking about was how difficult it would be to find anyone charging anything to come anywhere near the thought and professionalism that you have put into your work building that.

This is amazing. Great instructions. Thanks for sharing.

Yall live in a beautiful area and have an amazing home.

This was really helpful, as someone who knows nothing and wants to accomplish something similar!

You have thought out everything. I live in Western Washington, the good ol PNW. I have been thinking of the same patio cover over my patio.

Impressive, we are in the process of building our patio cover. Thanks for the great tips. Your patio cover is 💯 😍

Love it definitely will try

Very helpful and well explained, nice work and video, cheers!

Awesome video! This gave me the upmost confidence to start a new project to add to entertain guest.

Good job young man !

AWESOME!!!

great video! and, very cute baby!

Nice job.

Nice work sir. Thanks for sharing. Looking to do something similar here in the Detroit suburbs. Cheers!

Good job 👍.

I'm doing something very similar, I will Notch out the post so it will lay on the post before I fasten....great DIY video thx for sharing

Thank you it is very helpful. I am starting the same project next week.

Like a How detailed in your explanation on the steps.

Good job dude

You weren’t kidding about “winging it” 🤣 Great job though man. I’m in the same boat. I want build a nice freestanding patio cover like you did. Not a contractor, architect or anything like that but I like to try to DIY when and where I can around the house. Again, good work!

Nice job

Not all the PNW gets rain. West of the cascades, yes, east of the Cascades, it’s often dry.

Cute baby!

Good job

Nice video… I would just cover the oof with either the clearish wavy sheets.. or .. just the wavy metal roof

Nice. I like that it isn't really attached to the house. Is a gutter in this patio cover's future...you don't want to dump extra water in your neighbor's yard.

Nice work! I like the idea of using posts on the wall side too instead of fixing the entire cover on the wall. Just wondering how you firmly mount the two wooden support pieces on your posts at the wall side to the wall, for example, where exactly to mount them on the wall to ensure they are secured and how?

Nice job man yours is the only video that is relevant to my particular patio setup so I’ll be using this for sure. My patio is also a bit steeply sloped for drainage ( walkout on a former swamp lol). So just to be clear, you calculated the angle required to mount the rafters to the top and then the same parallel angled cut at the other end to the rafters to join in at the bottom? I couldn’t tell from the video of the bottom end of the rafters weee cut on an angle.

For an amature I am impressed. You did a really great job and what a good teacher!!!

Nice info. Our gazebo wants a tv. Needed a cover for ZeboZAP tv that strapped onto our post.

Doggo was eating the concrete dust 😂

it looks well constructed but im wondering if you added anything to the sides to keep the rain out? I would think any amount of wind would carry the rain in from the sides..

Nice one budd

with the angle of the patio, did you use adjustable rafter hangers?

3 min in and I'm excited to see how the BBQ sauce packet plays into this.

"You know it's right because I circled it." Love it, man; thanks for owning your minor mistakes; it will help me not make them!

Nice

I did something similar. My biggest mistake was using 2x4s for rafters. They were too weak. Gotta use at least 2x6.

🔥

Did I miss the part where you showed digging the hole you built a concrete piling out of to drill the hole for the mounting hardware at the very start? How deep is the hole? Did you use concrete?

Nice work- looks great! Getting ready to build a 12'x20' patio cover- what would you suggest for post spacing. I noticed you have an 8ft spread on one end and a 12ft on the other. What would you suggest for 20 foot section? Again- good job. Just thought I'd ask.

Great patio cover, looks great. How do you seal the cover for the rain?

Wow I love you explain very clear I need build one my backyard too

Can you use deck screws in the joist hangers instead of the G nails? Would it be better to use pressure treated wood for everything since it is outside?

Your bench needs a support under the middle

What was the roofing panels you used called? I have my plans laid out and materials but im trying to find the right panels

For rafters, the top cut will remove more wood from the bottom of the cut, allowing the top to stick out more to allow for the slope. The opposite applies to the bottom cut.

Nice job. Much appreciated!

Great video do you have concerns about not using pressure treated wood? Will that be an issue?

Make sure to switch out flood lights to LEDs so they don't get too hot. 🔥

Nice Job!

You could use a metal grinder to cut the panels

What size post are these? 4x4 or 6x6?

How did you secure the wood along that siding wall ?

so did you end up with a small gap between the siding on the house and the patio cover? If so, rain will still go thru there. If not, what did you do close that gap?

I dont understand. I s it attached to the house or is it free standing?

Whats up with the 26 second marker subliminal clip of you?

What was the parts list for this?

Just curious, what did it end up costing for supplies? (I realize it will vary by region, but I live in the Portland area so it would likely be similar).

Nice job just winging this and working through it. Also nice job adding the bench to stiffen up the structure! Do you not have deed restrictions or codes prohibiting the construction of a patio cover like this as far as it being an eyesore to neighbors being metal roof etc? Or pretty lenient there on codes? I'm guessing the latter as you didn't mention anything like that or permits and inspections.

When it rains I would think the aluminum roofing would be a little noisy. Can shingles be used instead?

Good job, BTW your metal is lapped backwards. Small side over big side

Did you anchor it to the house? I'm about to build something similar over my front porch.

your dog is eating powder.. lol

Hoping you don't see much wind in your area. My biggest concern is where it lands. You've built a sail out of lumber and it's only a matter of time before it separates from those anchors. Hopefully won't damage your house or any of the neighbors.

How much did you spend on all supplies

Asking we need permits or Dont need? Because i want do to my home? Pls let me know thanks.

Did I miss the part on installing posts?

Nice build. How did you deal with these freaking HOA?

How did you attach the beam to the house wall?

Bow many feet did you cut the end post in simple measurements for the bottom slope?

Nice work! @2:38, the 2x4 you attached on top the door on vinyl siding is rain proof? water wouldn't go between wood and vinyl? Also did you have to find the studs?

Nice job! How much roughly it has cost you ? Thanks

For a non-carpenter that is a really good job. The only constructive criticism I would offer is I wish you would have used some better wood for rafters and decking to give the roof a nicer aesthetic appearance from beneath

Did you have to get any permits?

It’s very hard to understand for someone who’s never done this. For instance, what kind of tools do we need? My patio is on a slant. Actually it’s starts above a stair then the long two by fours will be at the bottom. I need better step by step.

Did you paint the patio cover yet?

👍

You should have used 2x6 not 2x4s Snow load could bring the roof down.

Drip edge, osb, and tar paper is for shingled roofs. With a tin roof, you just need purlins attached to the rafters, then secure the tin to the purlins. You wasted a lot of money on unnecessary materials.
