Patio Cover

We decided to add a patio cover even though we have a very shady backyard.  The shade is provided by giant pecan trees that shed many leaves and drop their pecans in the fall.  We thought it would be be nice to have an area that is sheltered form the rains, if they ever come, and the falling leaves and pecans.  

 Those big trees will be covered with leaves very soon.

 We did all of the staining before and during the constructions and love the big cedar beams that hold up the cover

That solid color on the ground you see in this picture is from some old carpeting we put down to cover the stone while we stained the wood.
