Then through bolted 3 times, plus I have 3" decking screws coming through in between the hurricane ties, and between all the slots in the 2x6. The roofing overhang can't be more than 18".

The boards running from the house are 2x8 redwood, and are screwed twice with 3-1/2" decking screws into the fascia and ledger at the notches. Screws aren't visible from below.




If I have to in the future, it would be easy to put 2 more posts by the house, and a new beam to remove the roof attachment, but I don't think I'm going to need to. The span from the house to the posts is about 9', and post to post is about 14' for scale. The lowest point of the big beams are 7-8", and the main boards from the house will sit at 8'-2" or so.

Those pics are blocked for me at wr0k. I have emailed myself a link to the post and will comment later...
