The roof slope needs to meet minimum recommendations specified by the roofing material manufacturer. We suggest a minimum clearance of 6’8” from the ground to the underside of the 4”x6” beam. Important note: When you build a patio cover off an existing roof or wall, be certain to take measurements from the point at which the patio roof will attach to the existing structure, NOT the outside of the slab, patio or ground. This area may vary considerably, throwing off crucial measurements. Remember all regions of the country have different structural requirements. If you live in an area where you have frequent heavy snow loads, you will need to design your roof accordingly. You can determine the roof design load from the building code in your area. Once you have determined the design load, you can play around with various rafter scenarios to accommodate. Consider galvanized post anchors to secure the posts. Before securing the posts to the anchors, cut enough off of the bottoms of each post to make them square. We recommend using temporary 2”x4” braces to hold the posts plumb while determining post heights.
