Freestanding patio cover
just wanted to run this by the group:
1) lumber for headers between posts was Yellowood 1 1/4 x6 deck boards (don't know the exact dimension but it is used as deck flooring, looks like about 1 1/4 by 6). So, it's not a true 2x6 but there was one on each side of the post). Shouldn't these be a true 2x6?
2) Support posts were Yellowood 4x4's embedded in concrete patio slab.Deck was freestanding. Shouldn't the posts have diagonal braces to the headers since it is freestanding? I could push on the post and get the patio cover to sway. Also note the rafter ties attached with screws, some holes not filled.
