I would have that deck evaluated before you start adding things to it. The post is attached to the slab... Do you have footings under the posts which support the deck? It looks like they are attached to the top of the slab. If there are no footings the slab could sink or "heave" causing damage to the house, etc. It looks like the span between the deck posts is spaced too far apart, adding a roof you will be adding additional loads on the beam, etc. I would have this deck evaluated by a pro prior to adding on to it or you will end up with a huge headache down the road. Good luck

Looking ideas for a 18 x 18 patio cover. Attached to the house single slope preferably DYI

Thank you, Patricia. Yes, I want something to attach to the house to keep the patio dry. I know the pergola wasn't placed properly. At one time I hung drapes on one long side to keep the sun off the patio but they weren't a satisfactory solution. To windy where I live and tey blew too much. I'm not sure I would want to dine in the rain either, but I would like to use my grill during the winter months. Covered patios are coveted in the Pacific Northwest.
