I'm building a sunroom addition on my existing concrete patio. This video was super helpful helping me figure out how to integrate the new roof with the existing roof.
Great video! It made it much easier for me to visualize how I plan to add a shed roof to my home over my patio. Most installations and videos show either attaching to a vertical wall with a header, or creating a gable roof. I cannot use a gable roof for my home without using crickets because my patio sits between two gabled roofs as it is, so a shed roof was my next best option. Thank you for the great visuals and explanations!
Thank you for the free and educating video. To the ones who are so negative, you can tell the owner the best course of action and the best way to go but if that is what and owner wants then you give the owner what he wants. Is not a perfect planet that that part of the house was facing the sun. This is a free video of a professional. IT is free just take it and if you can make it better go for it.
I have a client that wants to extend 24 feet his roof 9 1/4 feet over an existing deck. Since we want the roofline to be the same slope, and it will be supported in a similar fashion to this project you're showing here. I'm hoping to not have to take any of the top sheathing off, and hopefully access the roof trusses from the outer edge, and use a nailer to secure the truss extensions. The customer wants framed walls to surround his new deck-room, so I may go with a beam across the front, as well as potentially one to support the truss to truss extension connections. The reason for the second one is that there is a 6 foot overhang to the outer wall, so instead of ripping out the soffit and fascia, all I'd have to rip out was the fascia. I love the architectural braces at the top of the posts: I'm going to use that on my next pergola job. Thanks for the very-well produced videos - great marketing! :)
Man, that is nice. I just did one myself, but tied on to the house with the ledger over the facia and 6" lag bolts into the rafters of the existing house. Nice job!
This method of beveling the front edge of the beam places the load on the front edge of the beam creating an eccentric load on the 8x8 beams. This is easily solved using a birdsmouth cut in the joists which transfers the load concentrically.
Ya my place the smart guys built the patio roof underneath the gutters and it leaks horribly underneath between my house roof and patio roof. I am trying to figure out how im to fix this issue. My neighbors who have same landlord has exact same issue and he just put a tarp over the crack with somw bricks and 2×4 holding it down over it. Looks tacky tho...debating on just doing that too
That's really clean! Im going to have a framer attempt this with a 12x12 2x4 3 walled bedroom underneath. Can answer a few questions for me pleeeease? When you cut off the eave, did you extend the wall there where we see the insulation? Whats size is the concrete patio? How long are your 2x6 rafters? How would I vent this if it was a bedroom?
+PeterQBrownDesign. Why don't you just answer the question so everybody can use the info for the same reason? If you posted this video to advertise your self than, that is something else.
There seems to be several issues here. First the patio won't have been designed to carry the load, especially located at an edge. Second the pitch looks too low for tiles. Third the new roof isn't braced against lateral movement. Fourth the change in slope where it meets old roof will result in small holes in underfelt & uneven tiles that no longer interlock, and creates an awkward triangular gap on each side. Fifth the OSB seems to form lip where water will pool on top of underfelt.
I see you installed all this weight on top of concrete that is normally only 4" deep . Wouldn't that cause cracking in concrete, failing the whole extension set up later, and wouldn't it be safer to set up the whole addition on poured concrete posts that wouldn't put extra weight on concrete patio?
Most driveways are 4" thick and you drive your car onto them day n' day out. Not that big of a deal. It's not even that big of a patio roof either. Sooo many negative people on here. To those why don't you show us a instructional video of your handiwork so we can pick it apart like rabid dogs.
@@Wellorep I'm surprised they got a permit for this since Montana has a frostline of 61" anything that is load bearing like those posts are usually set on top of something that extends below the frost line to prevent frost heaving.
I notice that the addition apparently uses a different pitch than the home's roof? Multiple cities I have dealt with hate and reject doing this ever...they want all the homes in a tract to each have a single pitch. Not sure why that is considered so bad? Visually creates a hodgepodge of angles??
Our local laws here are obviously more strict seeing as though the lack of water redirection (gutter and down pipe) and the post being straight on the floor. We have to have 75mm or 3 inch between ground and timber, even if its treated hard wood for termite protection.
How was the angle at the roof determined? I'm required to create a 3-12 pitch for my additional roof. Great video, but a few steps need to be added. Thanks for the video, it did give me lots of information otherwise.
Is there any concern about movement/concrete heaving over the post brackets being bolted to the concrete rather than having the posts dug? I am looking to put a similar overhand on my home, but there is a deck in place. I wouldn't be opposed to extending the deck posts, but putting new posts beyond the deck for support might look clunky!
First of all, thank you for this great video! I'm planning to build an addition room above a deck. I was wondering if I can find the original home rafters to attach the new ones simply by using a stud finder without removing part of the structure to see where they are. Silly question? Thank you for your eventual answer.
@@robbyvenetian They dont need to bear directly on each individual rafter. In the second video I think it shows them notched and bearing on a 2x laying horizontal. But the rafters need finding for that attachment. and peeling away the roofing and paper (which you should do anyway) will expose the nails that attach the sheathing to the rafters. Their locations will be obvious.
Just curious, why did this patio cover go on top of the existing roof instead of a header above the sliding door. At 3:10 it appears there is enough clearance and maybe avoid notching the roof ( leaks, structure, birds, etc.). What was your thought process on this build. Looking to do something like this on my house. Thanks
This is the 2nd of 2 videos. He talks about this in the 1st video. While feasible that would have decreased the view from inside the house looking out the patio door. (I was wanting to do the same thing but now see how placing it up higher is better if you like the view to your backyard)
@@rongonsalves3403 I am also about to do the same style patio cover. I'm thinking if you lay your joist on the roof and the beam then raise the side that is over the beam the same height as the the joist itself that should put it at the finished angle that it will be at after being cut. Then trace the roof pitch onto the joist board with a scrap piece of 2x6 from the bottom edge to the top corner/end of the board, then that should give you the angle and cut line to match when you drop the other end back down to the top of the beam... That is what i'm going to try at least...
Does anyone have information on when (length of porch rafters/roof) to cut into the roof to support the porch rafters on the existing exterior wall? All the videos I've found show tying it into the fascia or like this video. Some say these methods don't meet code.
Ringo Miller, you are aware that we are sitting on a giant sphere that rotates right? Did you know that as it rotates the sun moves in the sky from east to west? I wonder if it’s possible that maybe when you saw no shade it was either morning or evening which are typically cooler parts of the day. I’d be willing to bet that during the hottest part of the day between 10 am and about 3pm there is plenty of shade if you wanted to sit on your patio and enjoy the outdoors. Excellent video and thanks for helping out this grateful diy soldier:)
This is over kill, easier to just pitch the patio toward the roof and let the home roofs gutters collect the rain. Materials would be no more than $300 at Home Depot, lowes. What a rip off. Nothing fancy about it. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I'm building a sunroom addition on my existing concrete patio. This video was super helpful helping me figure out how to integrate the new roof with the existing roof.
😃 Short and superior explanation! This gal appreciates your attention to bring us perfect visuals! Thank you and wish you much success!
A very good video! Although i was more interested on learning how to tie in the new shingles with the existing shingles.
I plan to do this but replace the entire roof.
Exactly
Thanks so much for this video. You saved me from making a bad design choice.

Do you have a video showing how did you do the cover patio?
Nice tips I like the bevel on the beam across I'm building 3 patios soon and I'll be doing so
This method of beveling the front edge of the beam places the load on the front edge of the beam creating an eccentric load on the 8x8 beams. This is easily solved using a birdsmouth cut in the joists which transfers the load concentrically.
thanks for taking the time to make this video, too bad so many morons have to be so negative on videos that people make trying to help somebody out.
I like how in the end they're standing under their brand new patio with sunglasses and baking in the sun
I noticed that to. I think lower roof and large would have been needed.
Jeez, or maybe it’s during the sunset...
Screen it in, people. Screen!
lol. I noticed that too.
This is pretty much what I want to do. Seems pretty easy to do.

Best, most well explained, how to video. Clear concise instruction, good editing and bless you for those illustrations!!!
What do you do at the top where the osb meets the old roof. How do you handle the 5/8” lip?
That's really clean! Im going to have a framer attempt this with a 12x12 2x4 3 walled bedroom underneath. Can answer a few questions for me pleeeease?

pause at 1:24. The stained 2x6...how is that angle measured so the 2x6 lies flush on the roof? Thank you from an upcoming builder!! & great video.
If you can't figure that math out please don't add onto your house

I would probably add gutters and downspouts to the poles and siding to deal with the rainwater diversion.
Great video. Keep up the good work!

how did you determine the height of the 8x8 with beam on top ?
How was the angle at the roof determined? I'm required to create a 3-12 pitch for my additional roof. Great video, but a few steps need to be added. Thanks for the video, it did give me lots of information otherwise.
Usually, you don't want to put shingles on anything below a 4/12 pitch imo.
How much did all this cost ?
great vid

give it a shot. Seems reasonable
@@PeterQBrownDesign thank you. I will try that.

How would this be done without removing part of the eaves?
I hate to be negative but now the gutter drains nowhere.
And you have a downspout for a 6 inch gutter.
What did you do to solve that?
Whole thing sucks
do you sell plans to yor projects
how did they cut the angles on the joists that made it sit flush on the roof?
@@rongonsalves3403 I am also about to do the same style patio cover.

Download the clinometer app on your phone. Find the pitch of the house roof, then subtract the pitch of the new deck roof.
Speed square
Nice details
Ok, but how much did it cost?
This is SO perfectly done!! Beautiful work. I know I'd fuck it up within the first hour of construction.
So how would I go about this with a span from my block house to a 16' away wall.
Great vid!!
Does anyone have information on when (length of porch rafters/roof) to cut into the roof to support the porch rafters on the existing exterior wall? All the videos I've found show tying it into the fascia or like this video. Some say these methods don't meet code.
Well done.
Is it just me or does the person speaking in this video sound like Kevin Costner? LOL!
What about frost heave compensation?
Looks good. Nice job.
How did you shingle/waterproof right up to that new angle?
I have a similar roof and I'm trying to figure it out when I re-roof it.
This is not right way. When u re roof ur old roof. U have to pull off this new roof and 2*4.
Posts should be on footings below frost line
thanks!
I was hoping he would show me how to get the correct rafter cut up on the roof
Oh look, the shade is on the house...
B
Looks and sounds great but hardly provides shade
I didn't see any stand-off on your post bases.
good eye~! I missed that just like everybody else haha
can I tie off my porch rafters to the house rafter tails?
Can but i would let porch rafters set up on the wall plate then screw rafters to gather with 3" Deck screw's.
Why not just leave the roof and gutter underneath? Its pointless to take that out. Now water needs to try and get down one spout instead of two.
Any questions, ask my brother-in-law, he knows everything.
NIce job.
nice
Thats what I was going to say lol ... Didnt take into account sun orientation in the first plate lol
All of that work, $10k +, and still no shade @ (3:08). Fail.
Rigo Miller at this point! maybe planting trees would be a better option .

Great reply!! Always fun to read the idiotic comments from armchair carpenters.
Even the drawings in first 20 seconds show only 40% shade
Better solution would be to buy a home facing the other direction.
are you serious?
3:08 look like kids lol
Onyerwsted in finfing angles to cut and birdsmouth
It's not a perfect world idiot
