First off, your video is very fun to watch. I can see the humor in you. I like how you make everything in detail for us to follow and entertained at the same time. By far, one of the best video about patio. Looks your living an American dream. You got a nice house, beautiful wife and a love patio. Well done brother.

I told my husband see it only took him an hour to finish 😂. It looks so easy when you watch a video. Then the work starts, its like, he didn't show this hard part of it. Lol we're getting there. Hopefully ours comes out as pretty as yours.

I would like to get an update on the roofing. I installed a poly-carb gazebo just over a year ago and after the first light (and I mean light) hailstorm we had in Texas, it was full of small holes! Then after the second and third bit of hail, it looks horrible. Our roof looks like someone shot at it from a distance with a 12bore shotgun - tons of little holes, smaller than the size of a pea! Only the top layer's shot, not leaking yet, but I did conclude that buying a polycarbonate (honeycomb like you have on) was the dumbest thing I did. Hope your's is holding up well. Yours looks great - good job.

I liked many things about this video: 1. You did the work yourself. 2. You selected a great product. 3. You paid your friend for helping you. 4. You were meticulous. 5. Your wife helped you. 6. You beautified your home. Awesome!

Dang I feel like finding this video was like finding gold. You did a great job not only on the build itself, but with the scripting, editing, and the bits of humor you threw in too. I watch so many other DIY videos that bore me to death and I have to skip around endlessly to get to a good part. Your whole video is entertaining. Definitely subscribing!

Looks great. As items settle the fasteners on top will have a wear pattern and water may leak in from the top. You can prevent this by "capping" the screws with a clear sealant. That's the method we use on the aircraft. You can get a large washer, place it around the fastener and inject sealant on the fastener head and around its base. Once injected you can remove the washer and proceed. Kudos on your wood filter job 👏 👌

I like that you included the prices VERY convenient and the link to where you got the materials. Looking forward to your privacy screen video!

Thanks for the video!! I recently finished building my pergola and started to think about winterize it by adding clear roof. I'm going to try out this type of clear panels too!

It looks very NICE! Very clean design! I've been wanting to do this for awhile now. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing Blake! I recently poured a 16x32 concrete patio with 14 x 16 footings to accept the posts for my patio roof. This was exactly what I was looking for.

I was dreaming about something exactly like this! Thanks for this video. Now I know that it can be done and what to use to do it.

Great job! I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who has adjustments along the way!!!

Well done. We’ve decided to go with single thicker panels, after the double layer went green/brown inside. I think the double panels are more for insulation on a greenhouse, don’t need that on an open air structure. We have built a side panel too, to keep the prevailing weather and side gusts out, because it only stayed dry underneath when the rain was gently falling straight down on a calm day.

Glad I found this! We just built a deck. We planned for a roofed section so the 4 x 6 posts are already in place. We have a ranch with a hipped roof so we are going above it, but not tied into the house... so no permit needed. We want to use the clear or translucent stuff like you did, so this will really help.

Looks fantastic👏🏻. Great job. Looking forward to your in depth discussion on siding😊

no matter the cost, you had fun!!! I would like to make one just like it. you did a great job

You did a great job. Its very pretty and looks almost like a Japanese pagoda. My son did the very same on his house a few years ago. I only realise now how much work he did. 👍

This is exactly what I wanna do for my deck. Thank you for your sharing.

Great job!! I love the illusion of sky with the protection from the elements.

One of the best DIY video, love the step by step detail and honesty. Great Job!!

My friend is helping me lay a brick patio this wk. Now my wife wants it's covered as she has Vitiligo, so definitely cannot be in the sun. The patio will be right off our garage, so, we can use that for support. Luckily I live on 80 acres, really have no neighbors, so I can pretty much do what I want. I will probably re-watch this several times, thanks for sharing!

A trick is to add silicon to the bolt as you fix the roof panels, it prevents leaks.

Fantastic video. I'm getting an Alumawood 10x20 roof for around $6600. That includes electrical outlets and a gutter. It's probably about the same height. But, of course, this vlogger just nailed it. Fantastic idea, and great skills at putting it together!!!

Looks fantastic, you guys did a great job. There’s nothing worse than having an outdoor seating area with out some sort of covering from those burning hot days.

Well made video. Good channel. I will advise viewers that I did a similar project a few years ago. Ripped it out two years later. Collected pollen, sap, leaves, twigs, bird shit… it was always dirty even a few days after cleaning it. You look up and see nothing but grime and it demoralizes you.

This is a really entertaining video!! I find myself bored with a lot of home renovation videos that are recommended to me but it’s nice to know there are still people on social media willing to show this type of work and joke about it like you can. Keep going w this!

I've been looking for this! THis is exactly the type of patio roof that I need, thank you for doing this video and being so detailed!!

Really nice. I'm sure you and your family will enjoy many many years of enjoying the outdoors.

This was amazing! Thank you! I'm looking to build a roof between my garage and home - 36 by 20 feet and this video was useful!

Great job sir. Soft bulb lightings for night time patio chat would be nice. Thanks for sharing your project.

Awesome! I think we can now make our own backyard patio cover. Very helpful indeed.😃

We had this done on our pergola summer of 2020. It was awesome! 😎

This was excellent.. hope you and your family enjoy it..

Best DIY video I have seen. Everything was done like a pro.

You have a talent for puzzles inside shoes! Made it look almost easy! Almost. Good look.

great video and thanks! I love how you included your mistakes!!! It is very helpful and I can identify completely!

Great design and looks nice. I built mine with a metal roof because I wanted the shade... thanks for the video....

My word! That looks awesome guys! You did a FANTASTIC job on that bad boy!! 😄

I learned a lot and this is something I would love but use a different color maybe. Thanks so much for sharing!

wow, this i really need in my house, hopefully i can find somebody to do this thanks very nice!!

Wow...amazing job. Love it!

Love your video style 😆 and great looking patio!

I like the finished product, and you are very entertaining to listen to.

“And so I searched … day after day, year after year” (looking out window) That gave me a good laugh without costing me a dime. 😀 Oh boy do I resemble that remark.

you made the video really entertaining. I'm really impressed. thank you.

It looks awesome!!!! Thank you sir for posting the video 😊

Beautiful work!

Great video - love the humor, project looks fantastic!

This was so entertaining. You made me laugh and answered my issued with what kind of roof to put on my screened in porch project I am going to have done. Thanks!

Hi,Nice job, You get a beautiful garden,very impressive. Just for who need SEBOSS hardware cloth, 1/2,1/4 opening ,19 GA, Hot dip galvanized after welding, double galvanized, strong and sturdy, delicate and beautiful, suitable as gopher wire, protect lawn/garden from all kinds of gophers.

Really great thorough video of this! I have been wanting this, on my wish list for at least a year! I had a 10'x 12' deck built with slatted privacy screens on all four sides off my kitchen during the pandemic- I love it, but it gets so messy from tree debris, now I want the clear slanted roof to be able to enjoy the light and the tree, but keep it clean- I would also like to enclose the sides with screen to make it really like an outdoor dining room- (I know- I ask a lot!) Thanks for giving the cost- so I can sort of base my savings on that... 2022 now, and I am in Northern CA so I guess I'll have to double my costs... :( ( Looks really nice- ! You did a great job! Hope I can find someone to do the job as well!)

I’ve used those panels before for similar projects. You have to seal the top channels (next to house) of the poly. If you don’t water and debris will get in the channels and then it doesn’t look too good. Iirc I used a foil with a u channel from the poly company. The bottom channels of the poly need to be sealed, but may be different to let moisture out.

a lot of information since I have to make one like this for my patio, but all this very interesting and you kept me in suspense all the time with a laugh out loud at the end🤣🤣

thanks for sharing Blake, very helpful!

Porch turned out great!

I’m crying seeing that beautiful wood hidden by that siding 😭😭😭

How you got Gollum to come right as the music did a surprise twist sound is the definition of perfection.

thank you for the video. it's on my to-do list for my near future.

Great job guys and gal!

I wish I would have seen this before a bought a product called Brite Cover for 15 grand to cover a 16 x28 patio. It was so poorly installed I finally took it down for the second time and attached it to the house with flashing. The manufacturer’s installer attached it to the house thru the vinyl siding, every time it rained water came out of the siding weep holes under the roof. Nice job for a great price

Great idea and it turned out great. Also enjoyed your humor!

Great job and good choice. It’s also worth noting that a shingled roof really isn’t an option for you either in that it requires at least a 3:12 slope, which would really lower the beam or started the roof in the middle of the window 😜 An easy diy option over the epoxy putty is titebond 3 and sawdust. I always have a jar of sander dust on hand for just this reason.

I enjoyed every bit of your DIY 😉 what a beauty! Are you sure Hollywood did not call 🎬📸

Great video!! Thanks for you humour and help

If I ever get a covered patio, this is what I want. We’re already lacking sunlight. The pine needles would be an endless job though.

Good job! I was thinking about using same thing.

Now have to sweet talk my hubs to build me one. Thanks! Definitely a new subscriber. We are cautious on our spending, this helps.

At 2 years later are you still happy with this roof? It looks great

Mann, this looks good! Great job.

Enjoyed watching you build that terrific roof. You did a good job. I do think the back of your house would look better with a bigger deck area, though that small window might be a problem. Here in Western Australia we tend to have large decks as the warm, dry climate means we're outside alot. So I liked your choice of roofing product, keeping the UV rays out is a must. I will be watching moreof your videos.

Just ran across your channel! This is great. Your narration, humor, editing & music style reminds me of old movies like Snatch, Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels. Your channel is going to grow exponentially. It's different (& better) than other home channels I've watched! Keep up the great work!!!! You also sound like someone famous...I can't think of who...I'll come back when I remember.

My best friend, that's a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I'm looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.

Great video and wonderful job

Great tips. Thanks for your explanations.

the clear roofing is nice. A company called Polygal makes it in Charlotte, NC and I can get 24' long sheets if I wanted. saves a ton on shipping!

LOL. really love your sense of humour! 😀 This was totally enjoyable to watch. 💛You have a talent for keeping the viewer interested all through the video.🤙 Really happy for you and congrats on this successful project!👍 The editing was really well done as well. And, yes, these pandemic prices are crazy eh!🥴😳 From one DIY'er to another, 💯🇨🇦🍁

I learned some key things watching this...thanx!! ;)

Thanks for putting the cost this is very important to me.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Great job! Greetings from the Netherlands.

You are adorable and after watching your video I don't if i feel more reassured i can do this or compleatly terrified ! It was very useful ( I dispise siding as well , don't ever place a grill near it ) which I assume most sober people know !!

I owned a house in England that had a carport covered with this stuff. It was fine for the 8 years we owned it (plus however long the previous owners had it). One downside was that algae grew inside the corrugations so, once, I took it all down and cleaned out the inside just like you would clean a gun barrel, except about a bazillion times. The price of this panel is very high compared with the clear panels used for steel siding so on a deck here (Iowa) I used that for a deck top. These panels are completely clear and are less stiff so they need to be fastened more often. After 3 or 4 years they are still just as they were new. They are also much MUCH cheaper and easier to get. The only downside, at least for here, would be impact rating for hail.

it looks really nice

LOOKS AWESOME!

👍👍👍👍👍 that looks great. fantastic

Nice job

love the deck. love the video. would you list the lumber you used? thank you

That's amazing... That's exactly what I want!

Great roof. I just had to remove one on my house (built before me). It was too low, too sharply angled, and it had beams smack dab in the middle of the patio. It had clear plastic too, gone very dim, but it still blocked immense amounts of light... had to go. Now I guess I need a parasol. And to oil the wood on an annual basis...

Nice video.😍 we mounted a ZeboZAP TV recently and love it.

starting the process of building the patio cover, learning a lot from this video about the ledger board installation. that's the main concerns for the roof holding up.. clear panels look nice but too hot in Texas to use the similar materials, in addition I want to collect water for irrigation.. enjoyable with all the common mistakes that could help to minimize..the next challenge is to find a good helper and a beautiful wife to boss me around...LOL

Great video! That's for the clear explanations. What color stain/paint? Just curious...thanks!

Great work and nice video! Upvote is well deserved.

Solid work.

Nice job! Will be perfect with solar panels instead of this plastic boards.

Everyone should have a friend like Luke

Hey man yall did a great job

You did a great job, but for the price I prefer my Sunsetter awning. I have a manual XL version. We roll it out Memorial Day. Put up the arches (by the same company) with wind deflappers. I have had torrential down pours and strong winds with no problems. We keep it all summer. Labor Day comes, we remove the arches, lower the side brackets and wipe it down while rolling it up and it is stored on the house under the eave during our hard core Vermont winters. My boyfriend and I installed in a few hours. It takes us 15 minutes to set up in the spring and maybe 1 hour to clean and roll up. We have had it 10 years, looks brand new. We are under it in the shade and even 😊when it is raining. It rolls up and gives us all the sunshine we want the rest of the year. Over 200 sq feet of usable deck for less than 1 grand.

Well done!

I would add a gutter connected to a water tank to water the garden in dry weather. They build conservatory with these pannels in the UK.
