This fellow wants to build a covered deck to support solar panels in his rear yard. He has an existing deck, but that was in pretty bad shape. We provided a design which included repairs where necessary, and added structure to form the roof that supports the panels. The sketch, a preliminary concept, shows how we often get started on such designs. The final design is much the same. We had to work with existing structure, which can be troublesome – new construction is much easier. We also had to design attachments to an existing concrete wall, adjacent to an existing pool, and the soil was of poor quality. Whew! In the end, a good design was produced.
