outside patio area

10 years ago

I am building a patio area outside my family room. It will have a gable roof. I plan a 26 foot width as that allows for windows and sliding glass doors. I am wondering what depth it should be. I have a deep back yard however 30 feet from the back is an oak tree. Any suggestions?
