First thing you need to consider Janjan is if your deck is built solid enough to hold the weight of a roof. Most decks need extra support added if the original deck was never meant to support a roof. If you can add support posts for the roof on the outside of the deck and attach a lean to roof to your house it would be better. You will also need to check your local building codes.

Hello Janjan, have you thought of a large hard top gazebo? You can add sides that keep the rain and bugs out, never worry about taking the "cover" off in the winter
