This will be more basic than that lol. I guess it'd be more like an open lean to.
General question, for a "shed" style roof, what is the minimum slope rating you can have on it? Is a 2:12 too shallow?

Any chance you could post a pic of the roofline and how it is tied in? Looking to do the same and we have a similar roofline to y’all. I’m curious to see how the tie-in looks. TIA!

Just to add something to this but if it’s a screened in patio, come up with a good design for drainage. The people we bought our house from screened in the carport and put 3/4” ports every so often around the brick. That is a horrible design and I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a PITA to clean and get the water out properly

Yes, thanks!

That is super nice. The prices are scaring the crap out of me, I was hoping to do mine for $25K or so (minimal concrete addition, tie-in to roof, and water gas and electrical mostly done). Better save up a few more pennies. Wonder if one time of year is better than another to get good pricing?

I am getting one to tie into my roof as an extension of the already large covered porch while doing a pool and decking with the flooring and tile already being covered by the pool company. 15X30 addition with all of the same stuff as mentioned in here and its right about $50K for just the addition.

A patio can definitely be done for that amount, IF it’s just a covered patio. First, it depends on the size of the addition and how they have to tie it into the house. Next of course, are the selections you decide to make. In our project that is pictured, the fireplace alone was a little over $7k. If you’re not adding an outdoor kitchen, all the equipment pictured was another $7.5k from BBQ Guys. What you choose for flooring is also another money item. Travertine isn’t cheap, but we were lucky in that our contractor gave us an EXCELLENT price. The tongue n groove ceilings were also more expensive, than if we would have gone with painted Hardie Plank siding. My husband also wanted a separate electrical panel for the entire addition, even though our main panel had exactly enough room. He explained why, but I don’t understand all that stuff. As a woman, I just negotiated with him for the nicer flooring.

It looks like we are going to be moving forward with our project. We have a layout that we like and are starting to get bids.
Plan is to add a 28'x30' slab, roof it (non-gable) and tying it into the existing house. We are also doing a 12'x12' uncovered slab with a natural gas brick fire pit and sitting ledge. Trying to price out brick columns vs. stained 10x10s. Not adding a kitchen or a fireplace but we are going to add an entertainment center at one of the corners to house a TV.
For anyone who has done a project like this, is there anything that you did (or didn't do) that you wish you had done differently? We are trying to think through everything before we get it going.
Here is the layout:

I'm thinking about getting patio furniture made from iron and would love some advice on whether it's worth it. I've heard it can be quite durable and weather-resistant, but I'm curious about its comfort and maintenance needs. Has anyone had experience with iron patio furniture?

I've had iron patio furniture for a few years now, and it's been a great investment. Iron furniture is incredibly durable and can withstand various weather conditions without much wear and tear. It does require some maintenance to prevent rust, but a simple coat of protective spray once a year does the trick. For comfort, you can add cushions, which are easy to find and replace if needed.
I recently bought some iron furniture for my house and patio, and I'm really satisfied with it. The pieces are sturdy and have a classic look that fits well with my home's aesthetic. I found that adding cushions made the furniture more comfortable, and they were easy to remove and clean. This might be a good solution for you too, as it addresses the comfort concern without compromising on durability. If you're interested in the maintenance tips I used, you can check out LINK for more details.

I have an iron table and chairs set that my ex wife and I bought in 1995. We painted it when we got it
it has lived outside in the elements every day since then. Never repainted.
pros: see above
cons: hilariously uncomfortable (get cushions)

Our recently-completed covered patio is approximately 25'x35' but we did not add the outdoor kitchen (to reduce cost).
Man that is a shite ton amount of space. Awesome size. I did a kitchen in my lanai here and use it 4 days a week at least. Adding that kitchen when you are ready will keep you out there all the time
I wish I had that much space

I'm always curious about this. Are you talking about cutting into your existing roof decking and building it out from there?

I’m be grateful if anyone has recommendations for a GC that takes on projects like these. Greater Baton Rouge area.
Thanks in advance!
