What happens here

For covered outdoor spaces, additional framing is required to support the roof. This includes installing taller support posts, often integrated with the deck structure, and then attaching overhead beams and rafters or roof joists. These elements are cut and fastened using similar power tools and techniques as the deck framing. Ensure proper pitch for drainage and secure all connections to withstand environmental loads, considering the structural requirements for any roofing materials.

Goal: If the design includes a covered area, construct the overhead roof framing, which involves installing additional posts, beams, and roof joists to support the roofing material.
