build a backyard barbecue!

Step 11 Create cover/roof

we decided to go with a more open style roof. you will need 4x4's for the uprights, 2x6's for the sides, and 2x2's for the slats. stain the wood to match trhe rest of the barbecue. use a template to get the end cut right. run all electrical up to a box on the post. use wet location switches and outlets. paint the pipe to match the stain of the wood. cover the base of the uprights where they are bolted down with trim to hide it. install at least four lights to make grilling at night possible.
