UNBELIEVABLE Backyard MAKEOVER! Boring Backyard Turned Into Decked Out Paradise!
What happens here
Construct the exterior walls of the covered patio extension using wood studs to create a framed structure. Install soffit and fascia boards along the edges of the roof to create a finished look and protect the rafter ends. Cover the framed walls with weather-resistant sheathing and apply the chosen siding material, matching the house's exterior for a cohesive design. Install exterior trim around windows, doors, and corners.
Goal: Complete the exterior enclosure of the covered patio and install decorative trim.
