Mule: The funny thing is when you posted that photo I felt I will never see something like that. A few months later I am in a new Ahj and see what I find! LOL!

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure they did calcs and the framing is good for hanging at least 2 plants! LOL!

RJJ, every time I see a picture posted on here of some crazy stuff, I think like you did! Surely I'll never see anything that bad!

Like on your post about "Will it Leak"? I haven't seen one yet but............just a matter of time!

You are going to run into more of those I bet since you started at a new AHJ!

I don't believe shade cloth over a some rafters makes a roof. It is still a mess but is it a roof?

ROOF ASSEMBLY. A system designed to provide weather protection and resistance to design loads. The system consists of a roof covering and roof deck or a single component serving as both the roof covering and the roof deck. A roof assembly includes the roof deck, vapor retarder, substrate or thermal barrier, insulation, vapor retarder and roof covering.

Isn't that what they call a pergola?

Or maybe a "port cochere"?

It's not a roof. They should not use treated wood above the plants; to prevent chemicals from invading the plants. You can see opening where the sun shines through.

It's playground equipment for plants.

The shade cloth will hold some snow, so it offers some weather protection and some resistance to design loads. I wonder if it's an awning or maybe a canopy.

Shade cloth----equals no roof IMHO.
