Why double plywood ?

[@rafaelfreire1286]

🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ Im a carpenter in Canada and ive never seen that before 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@HandyBros]

Great question. This was done to avoid roofing nails sticking out from underneath. This gives a nice clean look from down below. If you can use a thicker plywood like 1 inch thick or more, then single plywood would work. Hope this helps.

[@JesusSavesRepent]

Also it makes lifting the plywood easier. 3/4” plywood is heavy and the higher you go, the harder it falls.

[@andyz2747]

Nice work 👍where was this city ??

@@andyz2747 Thanks! This was done in north Jersey

[@bhh965]

Thank you so much for showing the real amount of work and time that goes into this. I'm so tired of 5-minute videos that make it look like it can be done in a day. High quality work!

[@Richie5480]

The sheer strength in the plywood is running it horizontal to your framing.

[@jimulaszek5871]

Great video, but please lose the music and give some instruction and rationale instead! I would've loved to hear the details of what you were doing, even if you just talked over the time lapse.

[@HandyBros]

Thank you for the feedback. We'll try to add narration to our future videos.

[@nicknikolia8682]

I would have to agree, only because either some kind of step by step instructions would not only be helpful it would get you a lot more views for your channel. BTW did u use pressure treated wood?

Great video but how did u attached the shingles betwween the patio roof and house soffit

[@junkerjorg]

I just started a very similar patio off the side of my house, so thanks for the video, it was great. I'm definitely going to use the 6x6 posts and 4x4 header. Quick question though, any idea what the snow load is for that roof? I am going to be using a 2x10 ledger with 2x8 rafters and then I am topping it with a corrugated steel roof. I just want to make sure it can stand up to the Wisconsin snowfalls. Side note: I will have a much steeper pitch to my roof than yours was. Mine is 9.5/12 pitch, which makes me believe most of the snow is going to slide off anyway.

[@HandyBros]

2x6 rafter that we used seems to be appropriate for the snow loading that we get here in Northeast. With 2x8 rafters and higher pitch, I think you should be okay. If you have attic access take a look at the ceiling and see what rafter did they use for the house roof. You can also find a few loading calculators online as well to verify.

[@antonbarreirotoledo1085]

Very good Ahora solo falta el canalón para recoger el agua de lluvia que cae en el tejado...😀😀👏🏽👍🏾👏🏽👏🏽

[@stbeauton]

Great video. This really helps me understand the process. Have you done a video on the rafter attached to the house?

[@HandyBros]

We don't have a separate video for the rafters. BUt the rafters were cut at the end with same pitch as roof and notched to accommodate the rafter hangers.

[@BabyBBB01]

wow...Nothing better than father and son works together

[@HandyBros]

Always the best :)

[@Smallblock_chev]

I used this video to show a client who wanted a patio cover. She liked the clip and the idea of a project such as this. Just finished and it turned out well

[@jorgereyestorogoz4230]

Hi do I need a building permit

[@AlexGarcia-mo1fc]

Did have to remove the siding to attached the 6x2 to the wall ?

[@HandyBros]

We were able to mount the ledger board onto the existing frieze board with screws long enough to penetrate into the wall studs.

[@AlexGarcia-mo1fc]

Thanks for reply ! How do you find the studs with out missing, because the old houses not always 16 inches apart ?

[@HandyBros]

From inside of the house

[@deedagod3465]

My question is how were you able to nail the roof shingles down under the facia of the existing roof since your so close. I plan to build this over my deck in my backyard

[@back_yard_ideas3258]

Great stuff. Looks like a project for me and my 13yr son can do. This is going to be fun.

[@HandyBros]

Thanks. Good luck with your project. Its that time of the year when we all start prepping for the outdoor fun :)

[@daxc1972]

[@rjsusej01]

You all didn’t even show the most important part the headed how to attach it to the building itself to start the wood coming down off of it. Nobody ever shows that part of the video to me. That’s the most important part.

[@NtenseXchange]

What do u mean. U attach the ledger board to the frame of the building through the wall into the rim/floor joists

[@lestito28]

I want to build a lean to car port. But the wood that goes on the house do you use a bolt that goes all the way in the house or just a normal one to just nail it in there to hold it? That’s my only question but the video itself was very helpful. That’s the o my thing I’m not sure off.

[@jamesec1949]

Evidently the homeowners had no intention of repairing the peeling and eventually rotting soffit. Would have been an easy fix before the new patio roof???

[@HandyBros]

Thank you for the feedback. I am glad that you noticed. We checked the soffit and it was not rotting. Just the paint peeling. We didn't touch the paint as may contain lead since this was a older house. But definitely one should repair the soffit timely if its rotting.

Thanks!

[@leroygutierrez3948]

Nice work What does that cost the customer for that job ?

[@HandyBros]

Thank you for the feedback. The cost would depend on multiple factors including geographic location. Estimated labor cost would range between $3k to $5k where as the material itself would be around $1.5k. The lumber prices have significantly gone up in the last few months. We also did the extension of the patio concrete slab prior to the patio roof. Check our patio concrete slab video from our channel page. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIfIXpiHm8pnmbM

Great job but 8 DAYS? It can to be Europe. Wish you best guys.

[@HandyBros]

we took out time :)

[@entrepreneurialliving]

I was thinking the same thing. My and my buddy could have done it in 1 day! Especially since all posts and rafters are cut to the same length. It's just a shed roof. By the way, if the saw man premarks every 16"OC on your plywood. The nail man can't miss when nailing to the rafters. So that saves time and money. No need for 2 sheets of plywood.......with all that being said. You guys did do a good job. Just need to work on your speed alot.

[@SendItBilly]

That’s a great wasp nest. Should have tied into the existing roof.

[@HandyBros]

Thank you for the feedback. We will be on a lookout for that :) To make it simple and avoid additional cost, we didn't tie this with the existing roof. It was a old house and who knows what surprises lies under the existing roof. Also, we didn't want to touch the existing gutter either.

[@Bone89]

Have u done or considered an insulated cover? Aluminum . Finished on both sides, polystyrene center about 4 inches thick. Nice finish Pitch only needs 1/4” drop? One day install. Trying to figure cost difference myself. Big advantage is pitch. Attached to fascia.

[@HandyBros]

Thank you for the feedback. Share with us the product link for details. Higher pitch would have been better but out current pitch for the roof was minimum acceptable for the asphalt shingles.

[@rae0521]

With wood and plywood now at astronomical prices (2021), you'll need big bucks to build this.

[@HandyBros]

OMG! this is so frustrating. The prices of lumber has almost doubled since last year. Luckily we were able to get the patio roof done just before the prices went up. I did take a hit on my recent projects like the fence we did and front porch. Hope the prices would go down in near future.

[@cookiedabossa8770]

[@exceptionaltalentspc4954]

Awesome outcome!! I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing!!

[@RocisBigBroSavage]

Awesome video. Shows exactly what I wanted to see in detail. Have a question - has the angle been driven just by how high you could install the ledger, or was it actually calculated to make sure it takes the full load of a snow cover in the winter (since North Jersey does get snow)? I have a very similar setup, but elevated on top of a deck, and the area is a bit larger - 18 x 20" and have been trying to figure the loading, angles etc. Don't know if I can do just a simple slope like this or have to do a full gable roof with a steeper slope. Also, I want to try and just see if I can get away with 2 posts rather than 3... would using 2x12 for a beam work for that, over 2 6x6 posts roughly 20 ft apart?

[@HandyBros]

Our height is driven by how high we could go with the ledger board. Also, we wanted a clear height 7.5-8 ft height at the end. If you have the option, go with a steeper slope. I wont recommend post spacing more than 16 ft. is you use 2x12 as beam, then I would at least double them to make like a 4x12 beam.

[@travisedwards9983]

Also will depend on what roofing you wish to use. Can't shingle or shouldn't shingle anything lower than a 3/12 pitch. Under that and will need to roll roof/tpo or metal roof/open fastner or standing seam.

I built a covered area over my deck. I tucked the joists under the overhang. In the winter, I started getting ice dams since the snow had nowhere to go. I had to roof rake about 3 feet on both the house roof and the covered roof to keep ice from forming. Just an FYI.

[@HandyBros]

What roof pitch do you have for the covered area over the deck? Also, it seems like heat is escaping from your roof causing ice dams.

[@michaelott310]

@@HandyBros it wasn't steep pitch at all because the span was 14ft. But I never had ice damns before that. There was about a 6" difference between the house roof and the covered deck roof

[@adambuzzeo]

the joist hangers you linked are flat hangers but the rafters have a slight angle. The angled brackets I can find are all 45 degrees which I imagine is too much of an angle for a 10 foot deep roof. Do those bottom pieces snap out of the brackets you listed?

[@pratikpatel021]

Rafter wood is pine or PT? (can I use regular Pine and stain? for rafter)

[@alive-awake]

I wish you lived in AZ, I'd hire you to do this for me. I currently have a wood pergola that's rotting and I want to replace it with full covered roof. I have 3 concrete pillars holding it up so wouldn't need the posts you put in. The rest of the house is tile though, not sure what kind of shingles would look good on it if any. Most people are replacing theirs with the aluminum ones. Enjoyed your video.

This video dominates, not just because the content is useful, but because of the way you time-lapsed it against easy-to-listen music and didn't waste time explaining minutia that we can all see for ourselves. Putting up the occasional amplifying information without breaking tempo, listing the details in the description instead of spending precious video time doing it, filming from beginning to end, this is the way "How To" videos should be done.

[@piratetaylor29]

Hi guys, first off I love that you installed the rafter hangers first. I always wonder why it wouldn't be done in other diy videos.

[@MAGAMAN]

It's possible you could have clearance issues or other problems if you hang them before you install the boards, especially if you aren't a pro.

[@andrewscorpio]

Do you cut the rafters at a certain angle for the slope ? Or do those brackets do it for you ?

[@CoffeewGod]

Yes my question also!!!!

[@ponz7989]

Curious, Did you guys use footings? If not, isn’t that a lot of weight on that pad? I’m in south Jersey and footings are absolutely required below the frost line of 36”.

[@uconn1729]

How were the beams supported in the front? The three beams... How old did they initially stand up right? Just because of the weight or what? I saw that you added supports later but inherently what is holding them there to begin with?

The 4x6 beams are sitting on top of the 6x6 post. We did a notch on top of the post and used carriage bolts to attach beams to the post. Hope that helps!

How thick is that concrete? In North Jersey they get snow load potentially and it seems you lack any actual footings (assuming that’s a simple 4” thick slab). I assume no permit was pulled for this - I can’t imagine this would pass a city inspection.
