First you put a roof on, then walls.

Looks good, the pitch of the roof is gonna dictate the types of roofing you can use. You're gonna need a fair flashing where you tie into the house. I suppose all of that is already figured especially if you got permits. Maybe Geoff will give you some advice.

Why not just close it in?

If your after the "open look" you could make removable panels for the winter months.

Dave, Permits? Whats a permit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
One of the benifits of living in the woods is no one is in your business.
I talked to the county about code requirements while designing it.

Oh, I see...it's a deck! I was thinking it was strictly a carport until your last post. Check out this site:

that looks nice!

suggestion:
while you're at it, build a pit in the center so you can work under the car easier!

Permits are for the people who don't do he work them selves. Because there has been a few shady contractors who take your money because you don't know any better about what right / wrong and "up to code".

So the public invented building inspectors. = retired contractors.

I built a shop on the back on my house bricked the outside to match the existing house. hurricane straps and big long screws lots of nails and wood vapor barriers and insulation. wall outlets and overhead lighting. Should be tested against a CAT 4 Hurricane this week. If it stands up I will thump my chest. If it blows down I will build it bigger and stronger.

rich, it will involve some more framing, but you might/should be able to add a secondary roof under the deck joists. sheath it and use rolled roofing. you can get away with a low pitch. if you wait to apply the decking, tuck the flashing under the bottom of a course of siding and you can nail the plywood and the rr down.

No I furred down from the joists, used this polycarbonate roofing and while angling from rear to front and from center to side screwwed it to the the furring with these rubber washered screws. You can sort of see on the inside of the beam is a 1" U channel I used as a gutter angled the same center out to side.
