I'm in the early planning stages of putting a corrugated metal roof over my 16 x 14 deck in the back of my house. Plan on building a 20 x 18 structure that will cover about half the deck and extend out into yard where I will build a pavered patio. Plan is to move egg in table down to pavered area for safety and more importantly, a dedicated outdoor kitchen space.
Show me your setups, eggers!

I went with a lot of hardscape which requires little if any maintenance. Things are a little different today as my egg(s) have moved into a tableEllijay GA with a Medium & MiniMax

We moved into a new, new to us, home last summer. The 12x14 existing deck was inadequate for my grilling gear. We added a 20x20 addition. Then added a 16x16 powder coated aluminum gazebo. The cookers will cook in the rain, I just hate getting wet.

Is that the gazebo that Sam's club offers? I like it!

Yes, it is. It took some time to assemble, but it's very high quality.smokeyw said:Is that the gazebo that Sam's club offers? I like it!

@Scott805 My wife bought those bar stools in the last picture for our new house, but I had her return them. They look great but weren't very comfortable in my opinion. Great looking living area by the way.Large and Small BGECentral, IL

It's a FLO Kamado. It's manufactured by a private label Chinese company. It doesn't see much use.Biggreenpharmacist said:

Just looked at their website. Looks like my cheap vision brand. I use mine at my camp. Servicable but not sure if it would hold up to everyday use.

First pic is from December 2015 right after I put up the gazebo - which was ordered on Amazon (link here). I raised it up on the blocks in order for the roof line to meet the gutters on the house, adding another 4 feet of space.
Since then I've added lights, a fan, a deck box and a few eggs. Going to get the electrical finalized this month as well. And now it's time to complete the table build.

Large BGE & Mini Max for the wok. A few old camp Dutch ovens and a wood fired oven. LSG 24” cabinet offset smoker. There are a few paella pans and a Patagonia cross in the barn. A curing chamber for bacterial transformation of meats...

I'd love one of those aluminum shelters but I'm not sure how well they would hold up in the snow.Edmonton, Alberta - XL & Minimax

I am just trying to decide which one of you I hate the most.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

LOVE seeing all of these pictures! Some gorgeous layouts!!!

I built this area before I fell into the "Eggdiction" trap. As a result of my addiction, the eggs now take up the space where the seldom used hot tub used to be. Gave it away to the screen guy because he had to take a wall down to get it out.
Needless to say we do a lot of family entertaining out here. I actually built it so my wife's grand kids and the family would have a place to come and enjoy themselves. Now that we have added the eggs it seems to be their favorite place to hang out.

This thread has inspired me like no other!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Looking to add a pergola for some much needed shade to my area. Anyone built their own and have a ballpark per sq. ft. cost? Contractors want $11-$12 which seems a bit high to me for what's involved.

nice looking yards.....
Question: Those of you who have a covered area but not screened in does anyone have issues with mosquito's and if you do how do you keep them at bay. There is no standing water, gutters are clean, etc etc, I am in central NC and although we like being on the patio those damm things keep us on the screen porch. Might have to start a different thread on the subject
