Anyone have any idea on where to find good materials for this for a patio. Looking to find good looking dark wood look for a good price per square foot?

Old cedar fence boards run thru a planner a couple of times make a really nice ceiling

Not exactly sure what it's called but they make a pine board that is tounged and grooved for this. Stain with Sherwin Williams super deck transparent canyon brown and it looks really good.

Pine with a stain will be the cheapest and most readily available by far...

You can buy stain-grade tongue-and-groove almost anywhere. I've done several houses where the owners wanted to replace the existing textured soffit boards with something like that.

Well building a home and I have a large covered 1300 square foot patio. Need to find a ceiling. I saw like lumber liquidators have some vinyl flooring type stuff that has that farmhouse wood look but not sure if you could put it on an outdoor ceiling. Just not sure what to do and there is not a lot of help online about materials to buy for ceilings etc.

Typical materials used are plywood and vinyl soffit material, higher-end homes might have t&g boards.

I saw some boards at home depot off of highland this weekend on an end cap that we’re designed for this. Think they were less than $30 a box. No clue how much space that covers.

1300 sqft patio.... subtle brag.

You can order the stuff I've used in any quantity you need.
I installed that exact stuff in a bonus room remodel, not suitable for ceilings or outdoor applications.
Any local millwork or lumber yard could tell you as well as have samples of materials to look at. Pine tongue-and-groove is the easiest to find and stains well.

OP, problem of using T&G outside in Louisiana is that with the moisture, the wood will expand and contract a lot. It is best to seal all surfaces before installing.
I wouldn't use pine. Redwood, cider, cypress, yes. Another problem you will have is the wood bees will swarm around and drill their asses off. You have to spray it every year to keep them SOB's away.
Using floor vinyl could be used. You would need to use a glue that is moisture proof. A glue used in bathrooms might work. Best way would be to install it on 4'x8' sheets of 1/2" plywood. Let the glue dry. Then cut each sheet to size, install to ceiling. Use some construction glue in between the plywood sheets and rafters.
This might work and then again it might not.

Did you not ask your builder? As said, get off the internet and talk to your local lumber yards. Most will have what you need.
This has been done for years, no idea why you'd put flooring material on a ceiling?

It looks cool but is very dark. I don't care for the stained look b/c of the darkness but think it would look cool painted. Just my opinion.

Are you from LP???? Floor vinyl on the ceiling...
OP.. if you going for A rustic look, what's the ceiling Ht and is it flat or cathedral or vaulted? I used recycled old tin under my carport.

I installed stained T-111 plywood, upside down on two outdoor ceilings.
Groves are exposed on the ceiling, been 10 years looks great.

Any wood is going to move with the seasons, that's why you leave room around the edges and cover the gap with crown molding. There are homes all over this state with pine t&g soffits made decades ago and still in great shape, I hate it when owners want to rip them out for something new because the old wood was better milled than today's stuff.
The particular flooring he mentioned is an engineered product that can't be glued down, it's a free floating flooring.

10 year old T&G pine on my porch ceiling, holding up fine. This is next to the Diversion and it seems like everything down here rust or rots faster due to the constant high humidity.
