linseed oil warning! Oily rags need to be put back in an empty paint container and closed up with water and some dish soap when done, they will catch on fire spontaneously and burn stuff down, ask me how I know....any natural oil does this when air drying if there is enough rags the heat will catch fire ...yeahhhhh
@TheDuvallHomestead you guys can add some flashing to extend from the house exterior wall to just over the porch cover roof, shaped like a "7". You don't even need to go under the siding like with "z" flashing! Just surface mount and caulk it!
Mine is not very sturdy at all. What will you recommended? 10’x30’ posts are 4x6 beams are 2x8” and rafters are 2x6. I do not know how to upload the picture?
Good question - we didn’t. John says there is something you can buy to do this but you have to install it as you’re putting the roof in, not after. So he didn’t want to go back and do that. So yes, some rain gets through. Honestly it’s only really noticeable in the pouring rain since it’s a pretty small gap to begin with. We just push our shoes out closer to the middle and they stay dry.
It looks great! Does it wobble in the wind? I’m seeing some videos saying that you have to bury the posts in the ground and cover with concrete. I would prefer to attach to the slab like you did.
The only cost of this patio cover was the materials and plans, which were very cheap (assuming you have most the tools already). The cheapest covers we found on Amazon were still a couple hundred dollars, so we’d rather spend that money on a permanent structure. Costco has some that go up to $2,000 or more.
I was wondering that too…what did the materials and plans cost total? I have all the tools, but this is about the size I want to build so I wondered how much it cost for the supplies
it doesn't impact our ability to open the door. We are used to it and don't notice it. if it was somewhere else we wouldn't have been able to fit the couch.
I have question--why are sssssssooooo prettyyyyyyyyyyyyy??that not my real question---my question id do u ever get water falling down btwn the doodr out of the house an when u walkinto the patio
