The honesty in this video is probably a good teaching tool for a lot of viewers. Such a good 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!
Use 2x6 rafters. Few extra bucks but that’s the way it shoulda been done
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!
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. 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.
What a cozy backyard! 😊 so cool.
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.
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
Thank you for sharing this video, very helpful and nice job.❤
Good job. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love it definitely will try
This is amazing. Great instructions. Thanks for sharing.
Great job! Looks really good.
Great job, it looks nice
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.
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!
Very helpful and well explained, nice work and video, cheers!
Wow I love you explain very clear I need build one my backyard too
Fantastic job! Helpful and detailed video. Liked and subscribed.
Awesome video! This gave me the upmost confidence to start a new project to add to entertain guest.
Use 2x6 rafters! Thanks for watching!
Really nice bro, thanks for sharing !!!
Thank you it is very helpful. I am starting the same project next week.
Use 2x6 rafters!
Great Job
Great job 👍🏼
Nice job.
Great Vid Bro! Enjoyed it like watching a Jedi movie
Good job dude
Nice video… I would just cover the oof with either the clearish wavy sheets.. or .. just the wavy metal roof
REallllyy niceeeeeeeeee jobbbb!!!
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
great video! and, very cute baby!

How detailed in your explanation on the steps.
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 info. Our gazebo wants a tv. Needed a cover for ZeboZAP tv that strapped onto our post.
Not all the PNW gets rain. West of the cascades, yes, east of the Cascades, it’s often dry.
Nice job
Good job 👍.
You've done a good job im going to be doing mine now thanks to you
Mine will be 12mtrs long x 3mtrs wide
Wish me luck and thankyou for making me feel like even a woman can do this
Good job
For an amature I am impressed. You did a really great job and what a good teacher!!!
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.
I did something similar. My biggest mistake was using 2x4s for rafters. They were too weak. Gotta use at least 2x6.
Uh yeah
Length of roof? Rafter spacing? Wonder if that’s why it works for some and not others.
@@NameTaken_86 yeah my roof was way too big. I think it was at least 16 feet
@@SanDiego_VDubLife okay. I’m thinking of building a 8x8 roof with polyvinyl roofing and I’m hoping 2x4 will worl
@@NameTaken_86 yeah 8 feet should be fine. And they come precut at 8 Dr so you should be fine especially with such a light roof
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?
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 job. Much appreciated!
Glad it helped!
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
Nice one budd
3 min in and I'm excited to see how the BBQ sauce packet plays into this.
It’s absolutely crucial that you have bbq sauce handy when attempting this project. Failure to do so will likely result in disaster
Cute baby!
with the angle of the patio, did you use adjustable rafter hangers?
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.
Definitely not a builder so I can’t help you on spacing but I can tell you one thing I’d do different is use 2x6 for all the rafters because like all the comments say it DOES sag lol. And then use gussets everywhere you can, they make an enormous difference when it comes to over all strength
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 Job!
Nice
your dog is eating powder.. lol
"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 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.
Great video do you have concerns about not using pressure treated wood? Will that be an issue?
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?
He used flashing, he showed that when on the roof
Has your neighbor complained about the water runoff from your patio cover going into their yard yet?
What was the roofing panels you used called? I have my plans laid out and materials but im trying to find the right panels
How did you secure the wood along that siding wall ?
Make sure to switch out flood lights to LEDs so they don't get too hot. 🔥
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).
There’s a part at the end that talks about it!
@@pnwvibe3123Oops! I stopped around 17 minutes, right before you broke down the price.
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.
What size post are these? 4x4 or 6x6?
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.
Oh yeah it will
Came looking for this comment everything else is fine but I’d of went to the edges of the ground and dug holes and concreted the posts
Didn’t he sonotube the ends?
Did you anchor it to the house? I'm about to build something similar over my front porch.
Depends on who you ask 😂 if it was me I would go ahead and anchor it to the house for the extra support however you would need a permit if you wanted to that. Catch my drift?
Thanks@@pnwvibe3123
Whats up with the 26 second marker subliminal clip of you?
You could use a metal grinder to cut the panels
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?
It’s not attached to the house it’s a free standing gazebo. There is a piece of flashing on top of the structure you can see at the end that prevents water from getting between the house and the structure
The gap between the house and your structure you said you used flashing is that nailed to the vinyl and did you use any caulking?
No, and it absolutely does leak when it rains hard just a little drip but enough to annoy me 😂
Nice build. How did you deal with these freaking HOA?
What was the parts list for this?
I dont understand. I s it attached to the house or is it free standing?
When it rains I would think the aluminum roofing would be a little noisy. Can shingles be used instead?
Yes I like the sound of the rain on the roof but shingles can be used for a little more money and effort
Nice job! How much roughly it has cost you ? Thanks
There’s a part at the end that goes over that I don’t remember off the top, but definitely use 2x6 boards for the rafters instead of 2x4s. All the commenters that are saying it will sag are right it happened real fast.
How much did you spend on all supplies
Good job, BTW your metal is lapped backwards. Small side over big side
Asking we need permits or Dont need? Because i want do to my home? Pls let me know thanks.
It totally depends on where you live. Each county building department makes its own rules.
How did you attach the beam to the house wall?
Don’t think he attached the beam to the wall, just got it as close as possible then installed a flashing to close the gap and keep the rain out.
Did I miss the part on installing posts?
Did you paint the patio cover yet?
Still can’t seem to decide between stain and paint. Wife likes the wood color but I don’t wanna be staining it again every year
If you use a quality stain, it's once every 3-5 years. Paint will last about as long but will flake off. I am a painter for a living. I recommend stain. There are many colors to choose from.
@@pnwvibe3123I think you may have it backwards. Paint, since it encapsulates, over time, will blister, crack, and flake off any surface. It then requires removal along with sanding and priming so way more labor intensive.
Stain doesn’t do any of that since it soaks into the wood. Also way less prep. I stain exterior wood any chance I get. Way less maintenance.
Great job and video. Roofs are hard by yourself. Considering lumber prices, $675 is a great price.
👍
Did you have to get any permits?
In my area, leave it detached from the house and you’re good to go. So mine is not attached 😉
Rube Goldberg. "Flashing" Try 'drip edge'. Really relying on those teco fasteners to hold your weight up there. And 2x4's for that span is not enough. It will sag.
Shouldn’t you have gone above the light?
Lol lack of planning, but he is just a guy.
The plan is to run the 110 down to an outlet so that we can plug the hanging lights into it and run them off the switch. Just haven’t gotten to that yet… just a guy😂
Is it attached to the building? I want to build one but my HOA say it can't be attached to the building.
@@dezpang3257 step one move out of HOA step two do whatever the F you want😂
@@dezpang3257mount it on piers
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.
Cute baby
You should have used 2x6 not 2x4s Snow load could bring the roof down.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🤔🤔
Try using a utility knife to score the tin. It’s quick and clean rather than using a circular saw.
Can you please post a video of this? That sounds like a way better way! Pretty sure that ruined my blade too😂

ceiling fans....Hunter brand are the best.
Did you need a permit to build this?
2x4 too spall for span
Spacing is inconsistent and exceeds 24"
No bridging
Light is now useless
hey mate, good job! here in the UK we call this "back of a fag packet plan" for the rest of the world- "this techinal drawing was made quickley and mid prodject using the free paper inside a cigarette carton". I'm a non smoker by-the-way, it just what it's called.
I think you learned a lot doing this, if you stared over, you'd put the joists on top rarther then in hangers?
And use 2x6s
I think your dog was licking the cement dust. Hope the dog is ok.
Should 2x4 really go that long out. It's only a few pennies for 2x6.
Use 2x6s 100%

Haha, that’s what happens when you try to use UA-cam editor because you don’t wanna take the video down and reupload it lol. I’m surprised you’re the first one to comment, surely everyone else saw that, it’s so bad😂😂
