Thanks for the questions.


Sorry. I never asked a question.

The cover will go over a 10' X 20' slab.

I used a lam-beam (laminated wood) to span 22' (4" X10" X 22 ft.).
Ledger board on the house framing was a 2X 10.

Shingled roof.


That will change the roof pitch and be easier.

He has a whole house generator that can be hooked up upon a power loss.


Okay.

He once lost power for a week.


Okay.

What happens when a hurricane hits Galveston and rips the cover off
the house?

Did you check for permit requirements?

Follow the local building codes that you resist.
