Cross post from lighting as I'm not sure how much traffic is over there.

This is for our covered deck. This is the main entrance into the house and will also include a grilling area and bar seating.

I plan on a hanging fixture on the small entry landing, a ceiling fan with lights in the center of the main portion. I need to decide on additional lighting over the grill and bar area. There will be a beam across the opening so I can put 2-3 sconce type fixtures in the beam. Or I could skip that and do something more fun like set it up for string lights along the beam. I'm planning for a couple of outlets along the bar and grill area regardless. Once I decide on the layout I will do another post for help with the actual style of lights.

This is how the roof lines will be.
