Same concept for your roof
U could hide some behind your windscreen too, think a 2x4 running diagonally from top of screen on one post to bottom of other with screws sent thru screen into 2x4

 

I never thought of that. I get a gallon at around $35 with my work discount and it is in my shop anyways for use on my vehicles.

 

Yes. But that does not stop me. It generally less unhealthy than real butter.

 

I’d be more concerned with lateral racking...he used some serious hardware to tie it together which should help with uplift
That said those hurricane straps might be a good idea

 

Dude u cooking fatty meat here lol

 

its a small structure and in concrete so that part should be ok. I might throw a couple small lags in the top but that should hold. The roof on the other hand I would put hurricane clips on it...

 

Finished product.

 

Debatable. Real butter isn't bad for you.

 

Thanks guys!! I will definitely get some clips and make braces next trip to Home Depot. Before I install the roof
I know this is a bbq forum. But this is Bbq related lol

I was going to do shingles roof. But also considered this

Post holes are only 12”

 

Those options are both kinda heavy duty for a little structure like that. They’d be fine but I would go with corrugated or g-rib metal unless u are going for a certain look...it’s lighter and easier to install

 

Yeah I thought the same thing. Here in Pennsylvania posts and footers are at least 36" deep to be below frost line. A 12" deep hole with concrete unless it was 48" in diameter really isn't doing much more than tie wiring a cinder block to the post.

 

I am the furthest thing from a health nut. I guess the fake stuff was just in the fridge already.

 

Ribs were done and already comsumed. They were amazing and my friends that came over to help get my truck ready for King of the Hammers earned them.

 

Shingles aren't a good choice if you doing a flat roof. I agree w/ truchador metal roof is the way to go.

 

Thank you sir!

 

I forgot to mention if u run metal on there you’ll have to install 1x4 purlins across the top of your rafters to support it. Easy peasy
