My back patio is right smack in the middle of my house so it would be next to impossible to see from anywhere by my backyard. Would you guys recommending putting my support post in the soil, next to the previously poured concrete, or placing the support post on the concrete and securing with long arse bolts?
This is my exact situation and I have been considering a pergola over a patio cover for various reasons.
Mine is about 20x20 and surrounded on 3 sides by my house. I would put the posts directly on the patio (maybe with some water resistant treatment (beam cap)) to avoid rot over time. One problem I am having is that one of the corner posts would potentially interfere with traffic exiting my kitchen door (most highly trafficked door). I'm toying with ways to eliminate (or move) that upright post and tie-in directly to my eaves in that corner.

Sounds like our houses are a replica of each other. I was wondering if I tie just that portion into the eave, if I could avoid putting a support beam in that corner.
