For those interested, here is a picture of the inside of the roof. I preferred this over a birdcage, as I did not want the rain to come in from above. I did not want to worry about repainting, cracks, etc down the road. I just finished installing the vinyl beadboard on the top inside gable portion, (the triangle on top) last night. That also was screened, but I wanted to cover it so now I can install Coolaroo shades on the rest of the screening. Down the road if I want the framing is designed to accept glass sliding windows. For now my wife preferred screens which lowered the cost. The solid roof comes in different thicknesses and lengths. It is aluminum all around with foam inside. It locks together and is watertight. The shingles were only added for looks, not need.
