Question
i have 4 inch thick slab in my backyard poured 50 ft x 12ft  .I recently added a
roof over the entire patio. my problem is there are no footers at corners of the
slab and my roof is still on temp beams what do i do?

Answer
Brad,

I don't know the circumstances of your project, such as where you are located (this affects frost considerations), the configuration of the roof, post spacing (I assume with a 50' patio you need more than just corner footings), and the reasons you decided now (rather than before building) to investigate footing options.

So if you are able to give me a little more information I can  advise you accurately.   Also, if you are able to send photos of the work to our e-mail:  info@majordesigngroup  that would really help.

You probably have a couple of options.  I look forward to your reply so I can help.
