Today we’ll be showing how we installed some polycarbonate roofing panels under our deck to make it water proof. The soffit ended up being very cost effective compared to getting a similar roof installed professionally. All the water gets collected and routed, keeping the patio underneath dry.
We actually built this project about a year and a half ago and despite the abuse of 2 harsh winters, the roofing has held up fine with zero leaks or need of maintenance.
Main Materials Used For Roofing:
• Pressure treated 2X4’s
• 1 ½” Hex-Head Roofing screws
• 3 ½” construction screws,
• Corrugated polycarbonate roofing panels
• Miter saw
• Circular saw
• Drill and driver
• Drill bits
• Nail-gun (optional but helpful)
• Large ladder
Extra Materials Used For Roofing:
• Gutter (vinyl is easier to cut and handle)
• Gutter straps
• End caps
• Downspout and outlet
• Glue for gutter

How did you seal the side where the roofing panels meet the house wall?
👌🌹❤️
You don't have enough support for those plastic panels in a heavy rain or over time they will bow and collect water
Would have been ok with metal panels but those plastic ones need more support
I literally love these videos with all my heart. They bring me joy when I am in one of my deep depressions, and without them, I don’t know if I would still be here today (if you know what I mean). Thank you for creating these masterpieces, and if you ever stop, my life will lose all meaning. Enjoy your summer!
