with a header and posts of correct size.

That's sort of what I had in mind. I'm just wondering if the wall made
of 2x4's is strong enough to bolt the side of a roof to that has rafters
made of 2x6's.



Your ledger plate will most likely need to be a 2x8, maybe a 2x10 to allow
the 2x6 rafter to rest fully against it after the angle is cut. The weight
transfer is down. The load is divided between the stud wall and the
header/posts on the other end.

Unless you have a heavy snow load to factor in I think you will be fine. I
just rebuilt one this way on an inspected job site. There were no
complaints from the inspector. There just isn't that much weight involved. I
still suggest a call or visit to your local building inspection office.

Thanks. I will give them a call and see what references they recommend.
