My partner easily wanted to have a patio but she never said anything about a roof or even and Awning that would be located over it.
All of us spoke with a general contractor that was building the patio away from our home office.
The guy was also going to add a sliding patio door so we can get from the home office over to the patio. When she told me about the patio she did not say that she wanted the thing to be enclosed. It was simply a patio with a screen in addition to a roof. I would have easily put a roof on the machine when she said that’s what she wanted but all of us did not contact a contractor or know that the screen was something that she wanted. Instead everyone of us hired a roofing company and now we had to put a roof that was directly on the patio. She was not cheerful that I had not absolutely considered that she might want something over the top and how was I to know. It was unbelievable if the patio was going to be too tapped for relaxing and laying down. My partner was happy to help out with the roof but there was a lot of things that I said we needed to talk about first. My buddy and also myself had to use extra stable ends on the sides to support the roof once we knew that it was going to be wood. That would require a little bit of extra work.
