I am a first timer, please tolerate me....We are building - hubby and I - (He won't use computer ) a flat roofed patio off the main roof of the house. There is a 900 high (from lawn) verandah underneath main roof.
Finished build will have a 5m x 5m roof with decking floor, straight off 900 high verandah (can't have steps due to my severe back problems) He intends to build frame for patio out of steel/metal with metal roofing etc. He certainly knows what he is doing, just gets told how far to space, stumps and other steel posts for patio etc etc, by everyone - and they all have different ideas.

Also for down the track a bit, the same goes for the spacing between base/frame for decking etc - everyone has diff ideas - amazing how many opinions people have when you are building something.......But here I am asking for your ideas and possible previous experiences....
