Protect your grills! DIY back porch patio cover

Our back patio needed some love and the Traeger needed some protection. So I took down the pergola and put up a patio cover!

This was wonderful. Ive seen a bunch of approaches to this but yours has been most approachable and still quality. Thank you!

[@williamellis8993]

Looks great, Brandon. Even though it wasn't a woodworking project, you were working with wood. That counts in my book. Besides, any time you can work outside, it's a plus. Take care and keep smiling. Bill

[@WalkersWoodworks]

True Story! Although it was kind of hard to film haha.

[@CAMEO1955]

Nice job , I been thinking about a new patio cover ,like what you did , not a lot of money and looks great !! will done ! stay safe you & family

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks! It made a big difference.

[@alexholder1166]

Nice looking work

[@TheGatewayProductions]

Great work and good call not putting the stain, natural wood looks much better.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks!!

[@susanclark334]

Thank you for sharing. This was very helpful!

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thank you for watching!

[@BlankSlate1111]

Looks great. Nice job

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Thanks!!

[@ScotlandUnderwater]

thankyou, i enjoyed the simple way you explained it, I think I will have a go at building a BBQ shelter now..x

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

Nice patio cover. Simple and effective. I suggest you store the grill up against the house while not in use to maximize the cover's protection of the grill.

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Yea but that's a little dangerous and would probably turn the siding a different color haha.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

@@WalkersWoodworks .... I meant roll it out for use and roll it back when cool. My first house had damage to the vinyl siding from the previous owner being a dumb ass trying to use it against the house. I had them repair it prior to purchase and learned a valuable lesson on their dime.

[@pratikpatel021]

Great work, question: can I use this method to build a longer version like a 25x20 patio cover on my existing concern slab (I will add more 6x6 posts)? Just wondering about your expertise & opinion?

[@carterscustomrods]

Ya had me until the Power Pro screws. Lol. Sure, they might not strip easy, but that's Torx heads in general. They do cam out a lot if you use a T-25 bit. They're ok if you toss out the T25 bits, and have a T26 or T26.5 bit instead (but not too many people use those.) If they'd just give their torx heads a bit more depth, and a hair more snug, they'd be fine. But until then, GripRite will be more than adequate. They stay on your bit, and don't wobble. Other than that, great job on the build. Looks like it'll be there for a while :)

[@Ryan-bc2wh]

Great job!!...Just wondering What kind of spacing for the joists?

[@mariafriend644]

I want one!!!

[@Brad87788]

Hey, thanks for the video. Did you attach the posts into the concrete floor? Do I need to do this? Thank you

[@WalkersWoodworks]

I did and yes I definitely advise it. I used existing anchors though from the old structure.

[@kennyg572]

when the rain hits does it make alot of noise on the metal corrugated roof?

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Yep! Love it.

[@retromeatball4402]

What is the measurement of the whole cover and what size would you use?

[@sophiavillanueva7255]

Hey does it get hot under that roof with the metal top??

[@WalkersWoodworks]

Not more than normal.

[@alexandervincent4983]

Did you add a slope to the roof or is it flat? If so, does it drain?

[@RandyandCindy225]

At 5:18 it shows the slope he did.

[@junkcarz4720]

How much did it cost

[@WalkersWoodworks]

No idea. Haha I can't remember but prices have gone up since then.

[@GotoHere]

Wouldn’t be code in my city. Can’t attach to house. Must be free standing.
