Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.
Great video, but please lose the music and give some instruction and rationale instead! I would've loved to hear the details of what you were doing, even if you just talked over the time lapse.
I would have to agree, only because either some kind of step by step instructions would not only be helpful it would get you a lot more views for your channel. BTW did u use pressure treated wood?
Thank you so much for showing the real amount of work and time that goes into this. I'm so tired of 5-minute videos that make it look like it can be done in a day. High quality work!
Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR . The feature on Dinah's Rustic Retreat is like something from a fairy tale. It's really inspiring to see how creative all these ordinary people are in making beautiful and useful spaces on a modest scale.
This video is amazing! I am an amateur DIYer. Recently built a deck in my backyard and looking forward to build a roof over the deck attaching to the house. Thank you for showing all these steps. It has been very helpful.
I like that you don't talk too much like other youtubers. They spent too much time to explain and talk and talk. Watching your video, I think I learn a lot.
You all didn’t even show the most important part the headed how to attach it to the building itself to start the wood coming down off of it. Nobody ever shows that part of the video to me. That’s the most important part.
I want to build a lean to car port. But the wood that goes on the house do you use a bolt that goes all the way in the house or just a normal one to just nail it in there to hold it? That’s my only question but the video itself was very helpful. That’s the o my thing I’m not sure off.
Wow this is perfect. im building one too and i like how you made it go under the overhang so you dont have to mess with the gutter. I have the same setup too at my house. I enjoyed the video.
My question is how were you able to nail the roof shingles down under the facia of the existing roof since your so close. I plan to build this over my deck in my backyard
I just started a very similar patio off the side of my house, so thanks for the video, it was great. I'm definitely going to use the 6x6 posts and 4x4 header. Quick question though, any idea what the snow load is for that roof? I am going to be using a 2x10 ledger with 2x8 rafters and then I am topping it with a corrugated steel roof. I just want to make sure it can stand up to the Wisconsin snowfalls. Side note: I will have a much steeper pitch to my roof than yours was. Mine is 9.5/12 pitch, which makes me believe most of the snow is going to slide off anyway.
2x6 rafter that we used seems to be appropriate for the snow loading that we get here in Northeast. With 2x8 rafters and higher pitch, I think you should be okay. If you have attic access take a look at the ceiling and see what rafter did they use for the house roof. You can also find a few loading calculators online as well to verify.
We don't have a separate video for the rafters. BUt the rafters were cut at the end with same pitch as roof and notched to accommodate the rafter hangers.
I'd like to have something like this built off the side of my house along my driveway to create a carport. I was so glad to stumble upon this video. Thanks guys!
The metal bracket that you installed on 2x6 was then installed on the house. It looks like 90 degrees but the rafters were at an angle? How did you attach it that way? That's the only part where no close-up for me to see.
Evidently the homeowners had no intention of repairing the peeling and eventually rotting soffit. Would have been an easy fix before the new patio roof???
Thank you for the feedback. I am glad that you noticed. We checked the soffit and it was not rotting. Just the paint peeling. We didn't touch the paint as may contain lead since this was a older house. But definitely one should repair the soffit timely if its rotting.
Thank you for the feedback. The cost would depend on multiple factors including geographic location. Estimated labor cost would range between $3k to $5k where as the material itself would be around $1.5k. The lumber prices have significantly gone up in the last few months. We also did the extension of the patio concrete slab prior to the patio roof. Check our patio concrete slab video from our channel page. ua-cam.com/video/nVe-eQfe4cQ/v-deo.html
Awesome video. Shows exactly what I wanted to see in detail. Have a question - has the angle been driven just by how high you could install the ledger, or was it actually calculated to make sure it takes the full load of a snow cover in the winter (since North Jersey does get snow)? I have a very similar setup, but elevated on top of a deck, and the area is a bit larger - 18 x 20" and have been trying to figure the loading, angles etc. Don't know if I can do just a simple slope like this or have to do a full gable roof with a steeper slope. Also, I want to try and just see if I can get away with 2 posts rather than 3... would using 2x12 for a beam work for that, over 2 6x6 posts roughly 20 ft apart?
Our height is driven by how high we could go with the ledger board. Also, we wanted a clear height 7.5-8 ft height at the end. If you have the option, go with a steeper slope. I wont recommend post spacing more than 16 ft. is you use 2x12 as beam, then I would at least double them to make like a 4x12 beam.
Also will depend on what roofing you wish to use. Can't shingle or shouldn't shingle anything lower than a 3/12 pitch. Under that and will need to roll roof/tpo or metal roof/open fastner or standing seam.
I used this video to show a client who wanted a patio cover. She liked the clip and the idea of a project such as this. Just finished and it turned out well
Hey there. I see a lot of similarities in our channels. Just wanted to tell you guys are doing an awesome job and I wish you guys luck. You just got a sub from me. Keep up the good work.
Awesome project! Question, how did you fix or attach the beam to the posts? The video is fast and from afar, it's difficult to say where exactly you put the screws in.
I was thinking the same thing. My and my buddy could have done it in 1 day! Especially since all posts and rafters are cut to the same length. It's just a shed roof. By the way, if the saw man premarks every 16"OC on your plywood. The nail man can't miss when nailing to the rafters. So that saves time and money. No need for 2 sheets of plywood.......with all that being said. You guys did do a good job. Just need to work on your speed alot.
OMG! this is so frustrating. The prices of lumber has almost doubled since last year. Luckily we were able to get the patio roof done just before the prices went up. I did take a hit on my recent projects like the fence we did and front porch. Hope the prices would go down in near future.
@@HandyBros Prices are crazy especially for the plywood. Compared to estimates to have it done for me, totally worth the price to do it myself. Thanks for the video. I will be tackling mine this weekend.
Thank you for the feedback. We will be on a lookout for that :) To make it simple and avoid additional cost, we didn't tie this with the existing roof. It was a old house and who knows what surprises lies under the existing roof. Also, we didn't want to touch the existing gutter either.
Have u done or considered an insulated cover? Aluminum . Finished on both sides, polystyrene center about 4 inches thick. Nice finish Pitch only needs 1/4” drop? One day install. Trying to figure cost difference myself. Big advantage is pitch. Attached to fascia.
Thank you for the feedback. Share with us the product link for details. Higher pitch would have been better but out current pitch for the roof was minimum acceptable for the asphalt shingles.
Question- I have preasure washed wood for deck but I was told that I shouldn't use that same heavy wood to make frame for roof? I know for the top I need to put plywood sheets but I'm asking about the frame around and the beams that hold roof. Is that true? I was told it might be too heavy. Help please
The pressure treated wood, after they are exposed to environment do tend to lose weight since they dry out. Secondly, if your roof is open like ours, we need to use pressure treated wood for the longevity of the roof.
How were the beams supported in the front? The three beams... How old did they initially stand up right? Just because of the weight or what? I saw that you added supports later but inherently what is holding them there to begin with?
The 4x6 beams are sitting on top of the 6x6 post. We did a notch on top of the post and used carriage bolts to attach beams to the post. Hope that helps!
the joist hangers you linked are flat hangers but the rafters have a slight angle. The angled brackets I can find are all 45 degrees which I imagine is too much of an angle for a 10 foot deep roof. Do those bottom pieces snap out of the brackets you listed?
you can use the wedge anchors to attach the ledger board to the wall. Alternately, you can use appropriate concrete screws. I do have a demonstration video for both on my channel: ua-cam.com/video/bkLtCej9PAs/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/7m4EEi-pIe8/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
What kind of brackets are holding rafters? The roof is slanted, so they are not the regular straight ones, correct? Did you cut out little triangles on the rafters to insert them in the cross board?
I feel lucky in Australia we have corrugated colourbond roofing sheets,I'd just brace the rafters here with 30mm galvanized banding crisscrossed from each corner of the roof. Also,is that CCA treated pine? Otherwise great video
There are quite a few online calculators available that can help you with the measurements and cut. Search for "rafter calculator" and you'll find a ton.
we located the studs from inside of the house suing the windows as the reference mark and then translated those to outside. A stud finder from outside didn't work due to the siding and other exterior sheathing.
Looks great but quick question. Is it safe to sit the rafters on the rafter ties if the rafters do no sit perpendicular to the ledger board? Is a the rafter siting only on one point on the joist hanger due to the angle of the roof pitch?
At the ledger, we cut the rafter at an angle and created a slot so that it completely sits on the rafter hanger and completely flush with the ledger. On the beam side, we did a birds mouth cut to achieve the same.
We are doing a very similar roof. Today we added the brace on our two post. Only thing is we added 1 brace for each post you have two per post. I Will this be a problem? Our span from post to post is a little over 9 feet.
How to find the load points for the beam connected to the house?I’ve watched many videos, and the more I watch, the more complicated it seems. However, I’ve noticed that many of my neighbors' structures look much simpler.
Great video. Just researching my new project. Question I have is, we are getting a new roof shingled, should we run extension from roof or like this video? Thanks
Curious, Did you guys use footings? If not, isn’t that a lot of weight on that pad? I’m in south Jersey and footings are absolutely required below the frost line of 36”.
Can you post what hardware you used? Im curious about the rafter hangers that were installed on the ledger. Do they have to be for a certain roof angle?
Thank you for the feedback. Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.
So what you're saying is, the first layer is put on and nailed to the joists, the second layer can be nailed anywhere including the joists and the nails won't show correct?
how did the beams sit on the joist hangers if the ledger board is flat? that's what confuses me, wouldn't the beams sit awkwardly on the joist hangers? oh I'm guessing you made a cut on the end for the wood to sit flat?
That's right, we made a cut on the end so that the joist sit flat with the ledge. Also not that we did a birds mouth cut to the rafters at the location where they sit on top of the beam.
if you are referring to the post size, we went with the 6x6 post size for extra strength although I have seen a lot of people using 4x4 post as well. We actually looked into a lot of patio roof deigns and figured the post size and spacing. If you use a 4x6 beam like we did, then you post spacing can be 10-12 ft apart. If you do a google search, you'll find quite a few online calculators as well to calculate the beam and post sizing and spacing. Hope I was able to answer your question.
for our case, we had an overhang of the existing roof by about 2 feet, so we didn't have that issue and did not do the flashing. One should definably add flashing and make it water tight if water is expected.
Why double plywood ?
🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ Im a carpenter in Canada and ive never seen that before 🤷🏽♂️
Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.
Also it makes lifting the plywood easier. 3/4” plywood is heavy and the higher you go, the harder it falls.

The end of the rafters on the house, did you angle them to put into the rafter ties? Or are the ties angled?
Thanks for the video! Questions:
How did you finish the shingles at the house? Did you use pocket holes on the rafter bracers?
We went a far inside as we could. For any area left, apply roofing cement to cover.
How were the beams supported in the front? The three beams... How old did they initially stand up right? Just because of the weight or what? I saw that you added supports later but inherently what is holding them there to begin with?

@HandyBros I want to do exactly the same but what I have is a brick wall any tips to anchor to the wall?
you can use the wedge anchors to attach the ledger board to the wall. Alternately, you can use appropriate concrete screws. I do have a demonstration video for both on my channel:

There are quite a few online calculators available that can help you with the measurements and cut. Search for "rafter calculator" and you'll find a ton.
What did you secure the 2 boards to the house with?
I would like to know myself or did they just screw it to the sideing
used long structural screws ledgerlok or headlok. They are similar to a lag bolt.

Hi guys, first off I love that you installed the rafter hangers first. I always wonder why it wouldn't be done in other diy videos.
It's possible you could have clearance issues or other problems if you hang them before you install the boards, especially if you aren't a pro.
This would take me forever doing it myself. How much in materials only would something like this cost?
The material cost for this patio shed was around $1500
Those beautiful, twin peak church roofs in background
How did you know where to place the bolts for the header onto the house for the best grip?
we located the studs from inside of the house suing the windows as the reference mark and then translated those to outside. A stud finder from outside didn't work due to the siding and other exterior sheathing.

Will this be a problem? Our span from post to post is a little over 9 feet.
its better to have two braces to restrict lateral movements. you can try putting a smaller brace. Otherwise single brace should do the job too.
How to find the load points for the beam connected to the house?I’ve watched many videos, and the more I watch, the more complicated it seems. However, I’ve noticed that many of my neighbors' structures look much simpler.
Great video. Just researching my new project. Question I have is, we are getting a new roof shingled, should we run extension from roof or like this video? Thanks
if you can have it framed and tied with your existing roof rafters, that would be best!
How did you nail the shingles under that overhang. there's like an entire shingle of space op there that there is no way a hammer is getting up there!
Exactly and the plywood : that’s a lot of weight on the rafter and the ridge beam should have been bolted to the house does not look safe
Curious, Did you guys use footings? If not, isn’t that a lot of weight on that pad? I’m in south Jersey and footings are absolutely required below the frost line of 36”.
Can you post what hardware you used? Im curious about the rafter hangers that were installed on the ledger. Do they have to be for a certain roof angle?
Great job, looks good. How come no tar paper between the the plywood sheets?
Rafter wood is pine or PT? (can I use regular Pine and stain? for rafter)
How do you replace the sofit plywood underneath the overhang of the house if it rots?
hopefully it doesn't happen :)
@@HandyBros if worry so much , how about to use balcony board instead
I'm curious how you attached the shingles under the area the roof overhangs the patio cover.
went far back as we could. Apply roofing cement to the left over area and exposed nail heads.
@@HandyBros Thanks for the reply!
I’ve watched this vid in the past and just saw your Lowes review on the drip edge for this project 😂! Nice job fellas
Beautiful! How much does something like this cost? We are looking to have one added to our house here in South Jersey!
Thanks for sharing! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the cost for lumber?
The material cost for this project was about $2k.
I,m a very Amateur diy and I enjoyed your video. 1 question, whats the reason for the double layer of plywood? Thanks
Thank you for the feedback. Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.
So what you're saying is, the first layer is put on and nailed to the joists, the second layer can be nailed anywhere including the joists and the nails won't show correct?
i am referring to the roofing nails that one would put for the shingles.
how did the beams sit on the joist hangers if the ledger board is flat? that's what confuses me, wouldn't the beams sit awkwardly on the joist hangers? oh I'm guessing you made a cut on the end for the wood to sit flat?
That's right, we made a cut on the end so that the joist sit flat with the ledge. Also not that we did a birds mouth cut to the rafters at the location where they sit on top of the beam.
If i did a patio at 20 x 13 would the wood rafter's length change ?
How did you screw down the plywood under the eves (overhang)?
At such a speed that I could not not see the detail of what they were doing or did they cut rafters to fit angle of pitch on hangers!
I would love this. But I have a brick home. Does the same procedure apply?
If you use appropriate anchors to the brick, you should be good 👍
Hello just got a question how did you guys figure out the posts ? I’m just learning and its complicated for me fighter out the posts
if you are referring to the post size, we went with the 6x6 post size for extra strength although I have seen a lot of people using 4x4 post as well. We actually looked into a lot of patio roof deigns and figured the post size and spacing.
If you use a 4x6 beam like we did, then you post spacing can be 10-12 ft apart. If you do a google search, you'll find quite a few online calculators as well to calculate the beam and post sizing and spacing.
Hope I was able to answer your question.
Very nice works. What is the height at the ledge and the post?
The height at the post is 8 ft and the height at the ledge is about 9.5 ft.
Did you guys eventually put in a gutter system for water run off?
Yes we did. We'll soon be posting the video.
Do you need a metal flashing where both roof meet at the top I did some similar and it’s leaking where it joins
for our case, we had an overhang of the existing roof by about 2 feet, so we didn't have that issue and did not do the flashing. One should definably add flashing and make it water tight if water is expected.
