Looks awesome! If you spaced those rafters 24 oc would 2x8s still be adequate or would you have to go up to 2x10?

Nice video, I’m having this almost same project done. Mine will be 24 x12,

How are the LVL’s secured to the 6x6 post? Building same style roof and can’t figure out best way to secure them.

Very interested out in Odessa, Tx

What is the minimum roof pitch of the porch that you would recommend

Are the lvls treated ?

How did you handle the tie in from the LVL beams to the existing house framing? It looks like the 2 x 4's against the brick may be temporary.

Yes they where temporary. We used metal Simpson brackets rated for load

How wide can you go with a 5 foot pitch with the 16 footers. 25 feet or so?

What size are those laminate beams? Looks great!

I’m building something just like this except mine will be 24’x24’. My question is, how did you determine the size and number of the LVLs and how did you secure them above the 8”x8” posts?

bolted, to post, and we use metal lvl hangers

Same - not wanting to know personal or specific details on this project but what is the ballpark cost of adding a quality cover over an existing patio? Thanks

I live in Josephine, Tx and I’m interested in getting a gable built over my back patio. It’s a 20 by 15 patio.

How did you attach the lvl beam to the house. I am looking to do something similar but AYC glulam beams. Do you do work in Keller, TX?

we used a top hanging simpson bracket made for LVL , yes we are in haltom city

It'd be super helpful to actually show it being built (time-lapse). But otherwise, nice video!

Hey there! I'm looking to do this to my house in North Carolina. Everywhere I read it says I need collar and rafter ties with using a ridge board instead of a beam. I see you are using a ridge board with no ties. Do you truly not need collar and rafter ties?

How do you join your beams together on your 8x8 posts?

we use 1 x cedar or smart side, we could use hardie also , or pine

Either you're the best finisher in the history of concrete or that 12"x12" was never dug because I don't see the transition between the original patio and the cuts.

we are the best finishers yes actually, but all the concrete was demoed, and complete new foundation installed
