Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 25, 2010 8:37 pm I didnt get an alfresco area with my plan and want to build a really nice one on the side of my house quite a big area too. But i dont like the tinny put in pergolas you see on TV or on most places. Any ideas? I want to get something that looks like its built with the house with a real solid roof. Re: Alfresco ideas 4Jan 25, 2010 8:56 pm I've seen freestanding outdoor living areas with tiled roofs or I suppose you could get an extension coming out from your house roof. Is that what you had in mind? Or do you want something simpler than an actual matching tiled roof but not as simple as a basic flat powdercoated tacked-on roof?
