I want to add a roof to my existing second floor deck. The total size is 10x30. I would like to cover half 10x15.
The deck is off of the master bedroom and over looks a lake. The existing roof on the home is a Hip roof.
I'm assuming 2 things:
1) because of the existing hip roof the patio cover roof will have to be a gable roof. This would also be less disruptive to view and allow natural sunlight.
2) that because of the height and weight. I will have to run at least two 6x6 beams along side of the existing load bearing beams. See photos attached.
I may screen it in at a later date
I will hire professional to complete the project. Seeking additional advice to consider before diving into this project.
