Patio roof with 4 support posts & 2 glulams
What is the easiest way to build a 2x8, 16" o/c, 4/12 pitch, roof system over a slab that is supported by only 4 4x6 posts and 2 4x10 glulams, while the other end of the patio roof system is supported by a 2x10 ledger board that is attached to the house and the 2x8 rafters with metal ties.

Is it one or two stories?
If its one it will not work with that pitch unless you make the floor height a minus and a really low ceiling height. I used a -8 floor and a 72" ceiling height to get the roof to be on the wall at a 4.5 pitch. Note the wider the porch the higher the ridge.

I do understand about the pitch, on a 1 story it's to steep, on a 2 story it's good, but how did you get the the post and beam and roof built? Did you hand build it, or did you use the patio room tool ect. ect.
