Outdoor Kitchen/Patio Cover

Postby SwampMan » Tue Mar 14, 2017 12:01 pm

The wife and I are thinking of getting an outdoor kitchen/patio cover deal over our uncovered patio, roughly 20'x20'. It is on the west side of the house, with no shade, and virtually un-usable during the summer.....hotter than the surface of the sun back there.

Problem is - house is L-shaped, eaves are about 9', and cover will either have to tie into house on 2 sides, or roof of cover will extend over the existing house roof on 2 sides - therefore dumping all the water onto our house and possibly overflowing house gutters.

Now after searching the internet, it seems that the only people that "specialize" in this type of thing are landscaper-type people. No offense to any landscapers on here, but I don't really want to trust a landscaper to tie into my roof...

Question is: Anyone on here have anything similar done, or can recommend anyone to do such work?

Need a framer to look. Probably put a gable on and run a cricket or 2 out.

Would something like this be an option:

They have one in the Hattiesburg store similar to this that has a copper colored roof, heavy post and bracing, looks really good.

Gable is going to look nicer. But you are going to have a hell of a lot of water coming out of that valley.
Single slope will cost less. And water run off will probably be easier to manage.

Not interested in a pergola. Wanting something that will provide more shade, and will also be useful when raining.
