We want to create a timber/clear polycarbonate based cover for a part of our patio. It should also have a backwall and possibly one sidewall to protect against wind and rain as this area is should be the place for a future outdoor kitchen. The area is concreted with pavers (laid on sand so can be removed easily). Two of the posts would need to go into ground, the two other on concrete. Should be fairly simple to do, probably could do it myself but not sure about the need for brazing etc. The job we are looking to be done is the construction of the full frame, trusses etc for us to put on the polycarbonate panels ourselves. The structure is about 4 x 3 meters. At its backside it should stay on fence height (1.8 meters) and raising to about 2.5 to 2.7 meters. As far as we know we will need building consent for that, in that case we would either need to get a proper producer statement of an established system or contract someone who preferably is registered to do plans that got with it.
