Building a Patio Cover Is Not Easy — The Disaster At My Home
I recently found out something that many of you have already learned: building a patio cover is not easy. I found that out 2 weeks ago when I tried to build my own. First of all, my only helper was the wife and kids, and as helpful as they tried to be, they just weren’t up to the task. Secondly, I cut the pattern wrong, and as a result, the template had to be made all over again - which cost me an extra hundred bucks. Finally, I found out when I was through that the darned thing was made out of material that was too heavy to carry - so now we have a great looking patio cover that no one can move! Believe me, I’m going to save up my pennies and bring in a professional to do the job right!
