Roof Design Recommendations?

Return to Is A Metal Roof Right For My House

Return to Forum

I would like to construct a patio structure with a flat roof framed by a beam, similar to the pictures I've posted. Two things I would like to avoid are a drip edge over the steel beam framing the roof and roofing material being visible by someone standing on the ground 15' - 20' from the structure. The roof needs to be water tight because I plan to install a wood ceiling. Is metal roofing an option and how would you construct? If metal is not an option, any suggestions on other materials? It will be constructed in Phoenix, AZ. Outrigger Patio Cover.jpgFlat Roof Patio.jpg

I would consider metal decking panels covered by insulation and a single ply roofing membrane.
