DIY Covered Patio | Building A Roof To Cover My Concrete Patio | P1 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. Links to products used in the video (Some Affiliate Links that help the channel) Kreg Track Saw:
