After these were taken I put my "porches" on in front of my houses and put my barrels up on the rails which made everything look a little more organized.

AMEN!! I have never been able to walk out behind the house and feed all my dogs since I started doing this, it sure is nice to walk out and spend some time with the dogs and then walk back up here kick your shoes off and walk in the house. I know that sounds funny to most people but for 5 years now I had a 30 mile round trip to be able to do that haha, I am spoiled already.

Thank you! If you look at the front edge of the deck and it looks a little un-even it is, I am going to pop a string on it after the wood dries and trim it off straight and finish the end out with some cedar under the deck, didn't want to think I was that lazy |

I have a bundle of 17 10' panels and I cant even budge it. I was going to put them 24'' centers. Over kill? We have lots of wind.

I have some 10' material that weighs twice what these 14's do, it is really heavy so I know what you mean. I only attached the 4x4's front and rear on the kennel with plumbing strap and wood screws and then screwed the roof to the 4x4's, I have done this several times now with no issues.

Matt would like to see some pics of them in a year from now as far as floor wear, and your input on cleaning and such. That looks great.

If I can get 3-5 yrs out of the deck I will be happy, I plan on getting more like 15yrs out of it. It will be interesting to see in a year for sure. I think the biggest that will help these is that they are covererd completely by a roof. The sun really seems to damage wood as much as anything else.
