The openness and green here are exactly what we're looking for.

This is also gorgeous. Detached, but effective. Could put a table here or leave like this.

Interesting idea. Not sure this would work with a shed roof and it's a little small.

Detached covered area. A little too "gazebo" like.

Sigh. Can I just have this?

Like this. Feels nice.

This might be my favorite so far. It's adjoining the house but not using a gable roof.

Swap the barbeque for a table area and we're in business.

I like this a lot.

I like the over deck covering that breaks up the light; I'm not sure this will work for us but I wanted to save it.

Here's an example of a deck I feel has just been bolted on the side of the house. It doesn't fit. It just seems uncomfortable.

I like the overhang over the door to the outdoor space. I also like the finished nature of the space with the railing.

I like this space quite a bit. I like the contrast of the dark decking against the white railing. I wonder how the white holds up over time. I'd probably avoid the built in seating.

I don't love the ornate railing on the back edge of the deck, but I do like this in terms of how finished it feels. I like the trellis as well, although I wonder if you could put panels on it to block rain? I especially like how the table and sitting locations aren't forced.

I don't mind some of the style here, but I can't help but question why have the middle section a step down? It breaks up your usable space.

Another detached covered living space. Again, this is probably more expensive than we're thinking but it's nice.

This is way more ambitious than we're thinking but I had previously clipped it so I'll keep it.
