@@justpris1 it is 10’x20’. Total material cost was approximately $4000.

11ft span between the posts. And I used double 2x10s for the beams.

@@user-go5od1ef1m this was extremely compacted clay, and hard as rock. And we rarely have freezing temperatures, so no concern about the ground heaving.

This took me a couple months to complete, but I was only working on it occasionally in my free time.

Yes, I had to get a building permit with my County. I also had to get a Zoning permit with my city.

@@MichaelBuilt Zoning permit for a Patio roof. The grifting never ends :(

@@RoninX33 and an HOA approval. Almost $400 in just permits. It’s crazy.

Yeah, I guess I could always just climb out my window onto the roof. Haha

Where I live, permits are definitely required for this, or any structures connected to a home. I believe it will be the same in Texas. Permits will be submitted though your County, so they should have a website with more info.

@@MichaelBuilt oh woah. One more question and I will google it too ofc. When you get a permit does a person go and inspect the project or do you just go to like city hall or an office and get a paper and pay the fee and you’re good to go? Reason I’m asking is because I built a room in my backyard without a permit and I would hate for them to come and say something about it. Although it’s been almost a year and they pass every week and haven’t said anything

@@diegomarquez971 They will come inspect during phases of construction (footing, framing, final). As long as your room addition is built well and matches the house, I doubt they would even notice it.

I have a lot of storage space in the roof where I store scrap building materials, pots and other spring items, and some other stuff. It also allows me to access the space if I need to run more electrical. Just seemed like a waste not to take advantage of the space.

@@MichaelBuilt thanks, that’s a great idea!!

Yeah, that would honestly be a good idea.

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

I finished it over a year ago, and it’s holding up perfectly. Zero leaks, no settling, no cracked siding.

How much did this build cost overall?

@@goatedking6465 I can’t remember exactly, but I think it was about $4000 for all the materials.

Thanks!

I believe roughly $4000-4500.

I could have done a sloped ceiling, but I wanted a flat ceiling to hang a swing, mount lights, and to have a small storage area in the ceiling.

Im glad you like it!

I used 5/16x5-1/8” GRK Structural Screws.

Thanks!

Thanks! I was just trying not to get crushed.

Winchester. They have the same locking mechanisms as Fort Knox, Gettysburg, Stack-On, and Remington. All built in the same factory, just different names.

It’s a Winchester 36 gun safe. Got it at Tractor Supply.

Are you saying I should have a forklift at home??

@@MichaelBuilt no you should have recreational forklift at home

@@cavencanterbury6825what is a recreational fork lift?

tailgates perfectly fine. can’t baby a truck forever sometimes gotta put your first scratch bf you leave the dealership you gotta haul shit lol not meant to be pretty

That tailgate has taken a lot of abuse. The safe was light work for it.

“Part 5” covers the roof flashing. As far as securing it to the house, each ledger board has 14+ lag bolts into the wall studs.

@@MichaelBuilt thank you very much! I've got a double cantilever, you read that right, porch balcony that I'm trying to fix from rot caused by neglect and squirrels. I'm not sure if I want to try and build a ledger somehow or work with the cantilever going into the house or patch it up somehow to install a ledger. Your video is going to help I think

⁠@@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutubegood luck with that!

@@MichaelBuilthow do you ensure it is in the wall stud? Is it as simple as using a stud finder?

Yeah it was a 4:12 pitch.

that's a decent pitch. It's enough for a comp roof.

Thanks! Definitely my first time doing shingles, but lots of CZcams tutorials helped. The metal flashing at the top of the roof just ensures no water ever gets under the shingles or on the framing. We get some pretty intense wind and rain where I live.

Thanks!

The first set you’re referring to are actually the ceiling joists. And the ledger boards are fastened to the wall studs with 14+ lag bolts.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

This was just the initial framing. The entire build cost about $4000-$4500 in materials only.

I see this

I’m sorry you’re so offended by a ceiling. Some people want lights, a swing, and attic storage, which requires a ceiling.

Not really. I’ve notched the other side on other builds as well. Really just depends on how you want it trimmed out in the end.

I'm just a DIYer but I always put a 4x on top of the post with metal connectors. I'm not sure why some people do it this way. Just personal preference I guess.

These were treated 6x6 posts.

That's what I thought. How much did you pay for those? I can't find them for under 200 a piece!

@@costra8495Yikes! That’s expensive. I paid about $30 each at my local Lowes Home Improvement. I’m in North Carolina.

The patio is 20’x10’ with an extra 8’x6’ for my smoker and plants. The roof covers the 20’x10’ section.

The ledger boards can be attached anywhere. In my case, they are secured to wall studs. Approximately 14-16 GRK Structural Screws for each ledger board.

@@MichaelBuilt thank you for the reply!

How did you find studs behind the vinyl siding? Thank you.

See my channel for the full videos.

After installing the roof and shingles, I installed aluminum flashing behind the existing siding. See my longer videos for more details.

This was a 4:12 pitch roof, so I used my speed square to help cut the rafter ends. I still had to make some adjustments to get it perfect though.

Hey, so on the house side, the rafters are just nailed to the ledger board (7 nails each), and I have Simpson Strong Tie Hurricane Ties securing the rafters to the beam. They are the simple one sided Hurricane ties.

Thanks!

This was an extension of an existing concrete patio, with a matching broom finish. The rebar makes the concrete stronger, but I mainly used it to keep everything from moving away from the existing patio. The rebar is drilled into the existing patio.

@@MichaelBuilt 👍

​@@MichaelBuiltdid you pu at "expansion joint" in between?

@@budgettech5526No expansion joint. If it were a large slab addition, then I would have added one, but this was pretty small.

Poor hand-eye coordination if you don't have 100% confidence
