@@enrikjj7935 I have updated information for you. cdnsm5-hosted.civiclive.com/UserFiles/Servers/Server_15209001/File/Work/Building_Safety/Application%20Packets/2019%20-%20COG%20-%20PATIO%20COVER%20ADDITION.pdf This is for the city of Glendale, Arizona. Scroll all the way to the bottom, in Glendale, you need a 4x8 for a 10x10 patio. However, you can circumvent this by positioning your posts closer together and have the horizontal beam come out further on the sides. And the. A 4x6 beam will work if they are say, 9 feet apart.
@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you so much for your the update ! Blessings and may your business and your channel keep growing so you can keep sharing the great knowledge👍
You did a great job showing every important step and it looks amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make that! You’re lucky to have a dad to teach you that stuff, make sure to thank him.
Hello Luis this is one the best instructional videos on how to build a patio cover. I’m actually going to tackle this job myself. Keep up the good work!
Luis Angel, yo have done a great job, congratulations my friend. You’re the kind of person everyone should hire not like a lot of Toxic Contractors with bad jobs under the belt. Outstanding job Luis Angel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Honestly I’ve watched dozens of videos showing how to build this but this one is the BEST, thank you very much for that excellent and graphic explanation of the process 💯👍🏽
Two reasons I know. One, it provides strength between the rafters so that the boards don’t easily buckle or bend as you walk and you step between rafters. Second, it provides some room for the wood to expand and contract in temperature and humidity change.
Muchas gracias! Es recomendado sacar el permiso, pero si no hay el presupuesto para eso, por lo menos obtener la información necesaria para elaborar la obra como ellos la piden.
To be honest, I always thought those knee braces were mostly cosmetic. The wood in the video have all been tested to hold the weight of the structure, without further additions for support. And by tested, I mean the people in charged of zoning and building.
Great video! What state are you in Ian in Phoenix and I have a project similar to this and need to hire a contractor. The backyard you were in looks similar to some houses here in Phoenix so hopefully you’re local!
@@JasonGerrish-i3g hello, you’re correct, I’m in the Phoenix area and I also got your email. I’m in a busy season at the moment, but I’ll take a look and try to reply soon.
El otro patio la fascia, la madera que corre todo alrededor, estaba expuesta sin cubrimiento, como normalmente es puesta. En este patio, todo alrededor de la casa, la fascia está cubierta con una lamina de aluminio entonces no es necesario la tabla para el espacio, porque está protegida con la lámina y la agua no la daña tan fácilmente.
Good job you explained it perfectly with detailed. Detailed is very important good job make more videos of framing a addition to the house I'll be interested to watch it. Thank you.
That would be something like a 4/12 roof. For every 12 inches of length on the roof you raise the height 4 inches, so in this case the very top would be 4 feet higher than the horizontal beams. A few people opt out for the A frame style patio roof as this requires more work to attach it to the house and requires you to redo a portion of your asphalt shingles for you to create the new overlap on top.
friend, I want to make a 9x9 porch with a tile, do you think the air will lift it, the patio is 4pg with a rod? It does not have footing, the concrete is already there
Everything is anchored to one thing or another. The posts need to be anchored to the concrete. The patio roof needs to be anchored to the house with the ledger board. The rafters are anchored to the beams. The tile roof is nailed on to the plywood or like this video, glued down to the boards. If everything is secured, the wind will not lift it.
Luis angel estu nombre entoses vas entendet esto muy vien esplicado y si gritar no mucho ruido de maquinas pero uviera querido vet como pusiste el overlap o orillas viene en ese tamaño olo cortaste
@@AngelaGarcia-jk4qg la verdad es que casi todo tipo de nueva construcción requiere un permiso, pero honestamente, no muchos van y los sacan. Pero yo recomiendo que por lo menos preguntes por los papeles que traen los detalles de cómo es que la ciudad te pide que hagas also así para que en un futuro si tienes que hacer inspección, tu patio esté al punto con todo bien a la medida.
Quick question. U know how u cut that piece of roof off to put in a ledger board. Is there another way I can do that with out having to cut into the roof? I have solar panels on my roof and the ones that are closer to the edge of the room the legs sit in that same area u cut off.
So those pieces of wood I cut, the eaves, you could simple cut a hole so that you can feed the rafter inside and then screw the new rafter to the eave coming down. I don’t recommend this, but if you absolutely cannot cut the eave, this would be a way. I highly suggest that you look into moving the solar panels, maybe just for the installation, because after you are done if you do it the way in the video, you can still set your solar panels on the new roof.
Thanks for your feedback. One advantage this process has is that you can get the maximum height available on your patio. If you attach it to the ends of the rafter, you will have a much lower patio roof.
Back when this was made, it was about $2,500 materials and we did it for about $3,500 labor. So his price seems good to me, if it includes materials of course.
I’m trying to do this but house already has an addition with with a flat roof. Would I screw a ledger board to the rear wall to its framing as support ?
Please look at my other video in my channel named “DIY patio roof part 2” it’s for stucco construction which I assume yours is if it has a flat roof. I think that will be closer to what you are trying to do.
It certainly can, but you need to remember that shingles have hundreds of nails on them. Once you tack down a nail or staple, it’s tight up against the asphalt, which is waterproof, on top of that you can add silicone over nail heads and staples to further waterproof it.
Roof pitch for these kinds of roof is something like .5/12 so 6 inches drop for the 12 foot length. To cut the rafters and the wood around it, the reciprocating saw really comes in handy. We use a long blade and try to cut back as much as possible.
Dynamite job! Well narrated without distracting noises! I would of liked to see a bit more detail on securing base to the concrete and above the posts but overall, you killed it 😁 looks great!
Thank you. Securing the bases to the concrete goes something like this: drill a 5/8 hole in the concrete about 4-5 inches deep. Or 3 inches if you don’t know if the concrete has a footing on the edge or for the posts. Then just start hammering the bolt on. The bolt grips the concrete as you begin to tighten the nut. Hope this explains things better.
@@luisangelmedia4459 Got it! I appreciate the explanation. Some of us DIY’ers need a bit more info so we can go into the hardware store and ask for the right item so we don’t get funny looks lol. With your help this gal is gonna do her patio posts! You’re the BEST! Thanks!!! I look forward to another one of your videos!
Nice job sir. I suggest for next time, that you adhere the bottom row of shingles with a bit of roof cement to the top of the base sheet rather than use staples. No need for silicone then, as silicone will likely fail soon. With no staples penetrating the new base sheet, it cannot leak even if it becomes slightly loose with time. As an aside, those are the shortest roofing nails I have ever seen! If those are what they used for nailing the shingles, I'm surprised the entire roof hasn't blown off.
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll try that method next time. And yes, AZ roofers use the shortest nails man, they are lucky the winds here are not strong like other states.
@@dog_biter thank you for letting me know. The angle of the rafters will depend on the span of the roof and the sizing of your beams. But here’s how you can find the angle of the rafters; start by taking the length, away from the house that your rafters will be. For every 12 inches, you’re going to pitch the roof 1/2 inch. So for this roof that is 12 feet long, that’s 6 inches. Next, measure the bottom of the ledger board to the floor and take away 6 inches from that, this measurement is now the height from the floor to the top of the horizontal beams where the rafters will sit on. I hope this helps.
I think you can, you just need to make sure to metal you are working is strong enough for the span or length you will make it, some corrugated metals are flimsy, but there are others for this kind of application, you will need to talk to your metal supplier about what kind of material is best used for this.
Great video! What state are you in Ian in Phoenix and I have a project similar to this and need to hire a contractor. The backyard you were in looks similar to some houses here in Phoenix so hopefully you’re local!

@@luisangelmedia4459 thank you for responding. We are in the planning phase currently the project wouldn’t start until October if that helps with your scheduling. I would love to get an estimate from you though. Thank you.
Funny that you point that out because the whole time we were building this I kept looking at that as well. I squeezed wood glue in there and then two finish nails to keep it down.
With a hammer drill and a 5/8 masonry bit. Then we used a concrete anchor that goes into the hole and it has a threaded end on the top where the brace goes and is secured by a nut. Let me know if you need the link to the concrete anchor.
Unfortunately the patios here in Arizona are too low slope to put on tiles. You would need a different type of patio roof if you wanted to do the tiles. We haven’t done any like that so far.
@@sixgunsue8 it’s 35 feet along the side of the house and 13 feet extending away from the house. You always want to have at least 12 inches over your concrete. You can do more or less.
That’s one way to see it, another way to think of it is that the base sheet covers a lot more square footage than the cap sheet. But the materials are very well worth it. Buy it once, cry once, and enjoy it forever knowing you made a good purchase.
That was really good. I did something very similar, but instead of attaching a ledger board, I ran my rafters into the attic and fastened them to the heel of the adjacent truss. I wish I'd used rolled roofing like you did.
How did you finish that corner between the new roof and the old roof that still has an eve? (If you’re standing on the new roof looking up to the ridge cap it’s the corner I the top right). Seems like if there would be any issues or would be there. Great vid but that’s the only part that is unclear. Thanks for the effort and time!
Many ways to do it right, depends what material you have on hand. We had some leftover flashing that we placed behind the roof edge on that corner and tucked it under the old shingles. Used lots of gutter silicone and staples to seal off the edge.
Según las reglas, si se necesita. Pero este patio y muchos otros se han echo sin permisos. Por lo menos, te recomiendo que le pidas a los encargados de los que dan los permisos que te den los requisitos para construir algo así. De esa manera lo hagas conforme a las reglas de ellos por si en el futuro hacen inspección.
@@01Bluefin they are special anchors for concrete. The tip has a wedge that will grip on harder the more you tighten them. Here is a link to the Home Depot website, www.homedepot.com/p/Red-Head-1-2-in-x-4-1-4-in-Steel-Hex-Nut-Head-Concrete-Wedge-Anchors-10-Pack-12020/308279945
Two different things here. My hoa only required me to make the patio same height as my neighbors and that I kept at least 50% of my backyard uncovered. The city on the other hand, would like for you to get a permit or at least get their application and forms so you can build it exactly to their requirements.
Just ran across this video. Excellent guys thanks for doing this. Building just like your showing my joist hangers. I had a question on the board sticks above them and not flush even like you’re showing.
@@Gam491961 are you talking about how the metal hangers doesn’t let the OSB boards lay down flat on the rafters? This should not be a cause for concern because it’s only a tiny difference. There are other hangers that don’t have that lip on top if you’d rather use those, I just like these because they grab on to the ledger board from the top.
@@luisangelmedia4459 can you share the part number of the hanger from sure try that you’re using? I had to look at a video and zoom in on the hangers you’re using on your header and order them from Amazon. Nobody around my area carry them.
@@Gam491961 you can buy them at Home Depot, here’s the link, www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-Strong-Tie-PF-18-Gauge-Galvanized-Post-Frame-Hanger-for-2x6-Nominal-Lumber-PF26/100374865
In Phoenix and Glendale Arizona you do need a permit, however I built this without one as the cost of the permit was out of my budget. However, we followed their instructions and guidelines for if we ever need to have the patio inspected.
Good question! You will have 4 post separated 8 feet on center. The outer 2 post will be 1 foot away from the edge of the concrete/floor. Please look at this video for detailed explanation ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C-FREXA03x0.html
@@MonthlyInvestor for the metal roof, I cannot say because I don’t know the weight of the material. But 6x6 would be very sturdy though. A 4x8 could also work.
Gutters would be a great addition if you need to divert the water away from the front side of the patio. Cross member wooden studs would also help keep everything together.
Just a couple of quick tips you need to use primer so next time definitely use primer and make sure you offset your sheets so the first course should’ve been different from the top course😅 and the primer would be for your metal other than that beautiful job
super helpful steps on the eave. I just demo'd a carport that had these sheets installed 7:05 . The carport lasted about 15-years, but some areas were failing along the seams and the OSB was falling apart.. Overall, 15-years not too bad, but on the rebuild i'm going with EPDM

@@dynoesaur the patio roof is sloping down. This is a low slope patio roof. For every 12 inches of length the roof slopes down 1/2 inch, which would make it a .5/12 slope. Regular shingles requires a 3/12 or 4/12 slope, just for reference. In other words, this roof has a total of 6 inch slope from the ledger board to the horizontal beam the rafters sit on top of.
I'd go at least 18" away from the break where the two roofs meet. This way, you can nail higher up and not create a potential leak down the road. I would also suggest using roll metal at the seem of the flat deck and gable roof. This would prevent a break in the seem area where the two roofs meet. Also, use mastic where the shingle/flat roof meets. It comes in tubes like caulking now.
So you removed the eves, and covered them with the ledger board, how is air going to enter the roof, and help dry out the roof inside the attic. Thats what those vent holes in the eves were for.
@@nicklindsey3099 not all eaves have holes. Here in AZ, we have big vent holes in front of the “A” and the back of the “A” side of the house. Air circulates in and out of these two vents and sometimes you’ll have houses with two wind turbine vents on the roof that spin and draw out air front the attic. So neither on the back side of the house, where we are building, or the front of the house, will you find holes on the eaves.
@@nicklindsey3099 it’s all good. I love replying back to comments. However, I’ll be sure to add more info on my builds including stuff like this. Thank you.
…”to correctly install???” Dude, you have so many install flaws here that I lost count!!!! Starting with installing the post base too close to the edge!!!! Come on dude!!!!! You never done any construction work a day in your life!!!!!!
@@luisangelmedia4459 lol!!😂 bro I’m messing w/you!!! I’m a GC here in Fla. Reason I mentioned the bracket being too close is that the slab will crack easily since it’s a weak point.
