Spent my whole morning reading and checking out the links. The roof is inspiring. I'm at a loss for a roof design but just started the bar anyway. Thanks for your sticking with the postings. Thanks for your kind words. The roof was a pita to build. Maybe a real carpenter would manage better than I did. Every angle on the roof supports was unique (even side to side they varied somewhat do to not being a great carpenter and slight curvature of boards). While it did turn out pretty cool, if I built another I would consider a level gable design rather than sloping. Though I do like the slope design because it has an exotic tiki look and also because it minimizes the overall profile of the bar near our property line.
