I am working on 2 bids for a customer who would prefer a wood as opposed to a metal cover for the porch.

It would be added on to the house.

He is concerned about the strength issue because of living in a hurricane prone area. (20 miles from Galveston, Texas)

I am interested in your thoughts on construction technique especially if he goes with a metal roof.

Comments on other areas welcome too.

Thanks,

Andy
