Very nice project, can I get some more information about this project? do you hae instruction? Thanks

[txpipi]

@tbhdqx1, I don't have complete instruction for this, I had a very rough idea what to build, then research my way through every step. Shortly speaking, set up post, add beam and joist, then put the top of your choice. There are many details and options in every step. If you like more specific information, I'll be glad to answer what I know.

It is actually Reed Fencing from Home Depot. they sells at 6X16 for $24, so I had to use two of them. They don't resist the element well if exposed, but with roof panel, it seems doing fine after 3 years. Roof panels are from Home Depot too. Yes, I did lay the fencing across the joists.

how well does the bamboo screen keep water out

@grizfan16 I put clear roof panel on top of the bamboo screen.

This is the same look Im going for. Where did you find those bamboo panels...I am having a hard time finding the right size bamboo panels for my 12X15 patio, I think they have to lay across the joists. Also, where did you get your clar roof panel?

Thanks for the video.
