[Shop-talk] deck cover

[john]

I'm looking for a less expensive way to cover a deck (other than a stick built roof $$$$$$)
deck is only 12x12... and under oak trees that keep it stained black from the  sap or tannins....I don't 
want some canopy that will blow around or rot down in a year or two
 
Here is what 
I'm looking at  and with some frame mods (because of the railings on the deck)
it can work  .   Ignore the vehicles and the concrete.  
 
 
  
 
anyone do anything like this before...  Think I'm 
thinking wrong  ??  It can be secured to the deck structure not just the deck 
boards
 
Forum content... I will use multiple tools installing this
