design a gable style patio cover over the existing patio area use the lumber visible on the ground to determine the approximate overall footprint length and width of the structure construct the patio cover with a black metal frame structure posts beams and rafters use a clear acrylic roofing system with approximately 30 light transmission allowing filtered daylight while providing weather protection the roof form should be a symmetrical gable roof integration tie the new patio cover into the existing house roof at the intersection point shown create a new overframed overbuilt gable that connects the patio cover to the main structure this connecting gable should match the existing roof pitch overhangs and proportions include matching siding on the gable face to blend with the house appear fully integrated as if original to the home not an add on overall intent the final design should look architecturally cohesive with the patio cover and new gable connection appearing as a natural extension of the existing roofline maintain clean alignment consistent materials and proper structural logic throughout
