Hi All,
I hope you are well.
I have a project to build this patio at the back and I already changed the design to simplify it a bit.
The idea is to use 6 inch posts then 5 inch crossbeams in mortis and tendom on top of posts and 2x12 girders to secure the structure on the shorter distance.
I cannot support the structure on the house wall due to insulation.
The anchoring is pretty much squared away as I am going to use proper steel bases in concrete and some attached to existing concrete with resin anchors.
I am planning to use 2x10 rafters. Isn't this an overkill, I mean 2x12 girders and 2x10 rafters.
On top I install double layer polycarbonate sheets.
What do you think?
