Only downside is the rain does come in if it's blowing that way and they have gutter guard on the gutters, so if the rain is only light it's not enough to 'push' through the mesh of the gutter guard and runs straight over and drips onto the deck. But they still love it and are very happy with it. We wanted to do the same, but as we're in a W50C wind rating area, we are only allowed to attach the pergola under the gutter, so rules that design is ruled out for us. ~ trying to build our dream home by the sea ~ Re: Pergola to match original roofline pitch 11Dec 27, 2010 9:03 am karry327 I am sure I have seen this type of roof many times. Basically short risers come from the top-plate through the roof, then the new roof follows the pitch of the existing roof. It is a good look, provides good fall (ie drainage), should allow air circulation keeping it cool in summer, is water tight and should be economical. I often walk past a house where this type of addition has been done and it looks awesome.

Look at the first three houses in the street, it is the middle house between the start of the street and firetrail access. The extension is the light covered roof with two skylights. Not much to see from above but it looks good when i walk past it.
