Key Features
This covered patio deck framing layout includes:
- The patio roof structure and deck framing shown together on one elevation
- A galvanized post anchor at the base of each 6x6 post
- A footing note flagging that depth must meet local building code
- A plumb line marked against the existing structure
- Editable 4x6 beam and 2x4 rafter sizing
Checking the new posts against the plumb line before you set them catches an out-of-level start before it becomes a bigger problem later.
Why a Covered Patio Deck Framing Layout Matters
Adding a roof over the deck means the posts and footings carry more than a standard framing plan accounts for, which is why this layout calls out a galvanized anchor at each post base and flags that footing depth has to meet your local code. ArcSite keeps the beam and rafter sizing open, so you can check the roof and deck framing together against your own structure before you set a single post.
