We thought about just expanding out with a deck and building a pergola but the existing alfresco is roofed and it's support beam would be just plonked in the middle as I don't think it can be removed to expand?? We then thought about just decking a new alfresco/patio along the back of the house instead, building a pergola and decking a path from the existing alfresco to the 'new' alfresco. Torn!!! Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Re: Roofed alfresco far too small. What to do? 2Oct 08, 2018 7:35 am You can move the post if you put in the right size beam(s) to hold the roof up.

Are you in a high intensity rainfall region? The regulatory slope is only required… 3 8442 |
