A patio construction, comprising:
- at least a first, a second, a third, and a fourth base joint, wherein each of said base joints is adapted to be spacedly affixed on ground and has a supporting post extended upwardly and vertically;
- at least a first, a second, a third, and a fourth vertical construction beam, wherein each of said construction beams has a top connecting end socket and a bottom connecting end socket, said four supporting posts of said four base joints are fittedly inserted into said four bottom connecting end sockets of said four vertical construction beams respectively, so as to support said four vertical construction beams to firmly extend upwardly and vertically;
- at least a first, a second, a third, and a fourth triaxial construction joint, wherein each of said triaxial construction joints comprises a central joint body, a left and a right connecting post extending from said joint body and along a x-axis of said triaxial construction joint, a bottom connecting joint extending from said joint body and along a y-axial of said triaxial construction joint, and a front and a rear connecting post extending from said joint body and along a z-axis of said triaxial construction joint, wherein said four bottom connecting posts of said four triaxial construction joints are fittedly inserted into said four top connecting end sockets of said four vertical construction beams respectively, so as to firmly support said four triaxial construction joints on top of said four vertical construction beams respectively;
- at least a first, a second, a third, and a fourth horizontal construction beams, each of said horizontal construction beams having a first connecting end socket and a second connecting end socket, wherein said two right connecting posts of said first and second triaxial construction joints are fittedly inserted into said two first connecting end sockets of said first and second horizontal construction beams respectively while said two left connecting posts of said third and fourth triaxial construction joints are fittedly inserted into said two second connecting end sockets of said first and second horizontal construction beams respectively, wherein said two rear connecting posts of said first and third triaxial construction joints are fittedly inserted into said two first connecting end sockets of said third and fourth horizontal construction beams respectively while said two front connecting posts of said second and fourth triaxial construction joints are fittedly inserted into said two second connecting end sockets of said third and fourth horizontal construction beams respectively, so as to enable said four horizontal construction beams being firmly supported and horizontally extended between said four vertical construction beams;
- a plurality of ceiling bars mounted on and extended between at least two of said four horizontal construction beams;
- and
- a plurality of mounting members respectively mounting said plurality of ceiling bars on and extended between at least two of said four horizontal construction beams, wherein each of said mounting members comprises a first holding ring fittedly sliding on said two facing respective horizontal construction beams and a mounter for mounting a respective end of said respective ceiling bar in position, wherein each of said mounters is a C-clip mounter integrally connected on said respective holding ring with an opening end thereof facing upwards, said end of said respective ceiling bar being clipped on said C-clip mounter.
