Yes, this can be done, as long as your deck is properly secured into the ground. Make sure that you have enough support under you deck to handle the stress (example: 6x6 posts every 8 feet). Once that is done, take your patio rail off. Then, just put your 4x4 posts down (almost where you had your rail posts, or every 8 feet) and build your roof.I recommend going up at least 2 (shingle)rows up the roof of your house to ensure that you have a good flow of water from house to edge.

P.S. It also makes it a lot easier when (or if) you decide to turn the patio into a room. Was this post helpful? Yes: or No:
