How do I build a backyard shelter for the patio?
I don’t want an octagonal or hexagonal gazebo. I just need to make a square shelter. No walls needed. Or, I could use a square gazebo. Something simple and to keep the sun and rain off.
If you know of any websites or books/videos than would be helpful on this specific topic, please let me know.
It seems to me that it would be very simple to do. Kind of like a canopy bed, but without the bed, and, with an angled canopy/roof so that the rain will run off. But, if there’s a tried-and-true way to do it, I would appreciate the info. 
The section of the patio that I want to cover is 10′ x 10′. I will make it out of cedar.
Thanks
We built ours using a Sunset book that is sold at the Lowes, Perogals, Patio Covers and Gazebos. It gives very detailed instructions and material lists for a wide variety of different patio covers. We actually combined the plans of two different designs to meet our needs and it was very simple to build, but it took this husband and wife team a few more days to complete the project than the book indicated.
