Default New upvc porch - fittings and ideas

We're wanting to replace our rotting wooden porch/conservatory with
upvc and the plastic roof with glass and have a couple of quotes.

There are two items that the installers are not interested in covering
and I don't mind doing myself if there are some good ideas
forthcoming.

1) The outside corner of the porch is a handy point for a clothes line
hook as the porch fits on an inside corner with a garage to its left
hand side. What are the best ways to attach a line to upvc?

2) The porch is about 3m wide x 1.3m deep. Probably the main reason
that the wooden porch has rotted is that no-one thought to deal with
the water run-off from the roof. It only needs to be diverted to the
left onto the garage roof which in turn is designed for water to run
into its gutters. Neat ideas for this bearing in mind I'm aware that
we're not going to have the same rotting issue with pvc.
