I have a 12x16 deck. My wife wants me to expand it. Her complaints are it is not big enough and that she would like an area covered where we could sit and eat in the sun or rain if we want to. Every idea we talk about we findsomethign wrong with. I am getting tired of talking about it and looking at books as we can never quite find anything set up with the two house walls against the deck like we currently have. The roofs both slop in different directs too.
Anyway my idea was to bring it out on the steps side another 10 feet or so and add a 10x10 area with posts sticking out that would hold a gable roof with shingles to match the house. My idea was to elimnate the steps where they are now and put them on the side but she is not sure if she likes that as she does not want people to have to walk a long way around the house to get to the deck. She does not mind the
10x10 idea but we cant quite decide the best looking location, how high to make it, etc. I have other projects I have to get to and I need to get this opne over with. I want it to look nice but cost is a consideration as well as the fact I have to work alone. Here is a short video I took of my current area. I appreciate any help! Please help me!!!!!
