This is a 12ft x 30ft covered deck that I bult for a client with a matching, metal roof.

I used PT 6x6 posts for their strength and apperance. Smaller posts just don't have the same look to them that these do.

One of the important details to this project was the building of a bar between two of the posts. My orignial plan was to use lumber bought from the store, but I noticed that the client had a stack of lumber along his driveway. In that stack was three very large pieces of preasure treated that was 3 inches thick and 13 inches wide. I chose the best piece and cut it to fit. This is one of those times when we just got lucky!!!!

I like to cut and notch my lumber to get the strongest fit possible. I also like the way it looks when it's finished.

There are a total of five lights, which are on a dimmer switch.

Three ceilng fans!!!!
