DIY Covered Patio | P1: Building A Roof To Cover My Concrete Patio | Foundation, Framing & Roofing

I’m starting the largest and most expensive single project I have ever attempted. We are attempting to transform our backyard into the ultimate hangout spot. It all starts in this video with the main attraction: a roof built over the existing concrete patio.

The design I came up with is a little different from many others that I have seen in the fact it uses trusses and only partially connects to the house. I share my process of digging the foundation, setting posts, installing beams, hanging trusses, and the roofing process. I made great progress late in the summer but then it slowed when I went back to teaching. In part 2 I will do all of the finishing work including electrical, wrapping the posts & beams, tongue and groove, fascia, soffit, gutters, and downspouts. Then in future videos there will be many more projects that aim to totally transform our backyard.
