Default Buidling plans: small portico / overhang

Hello

Over our back desk sliding glass goor we have an awning: 7 ft wide x 2
ft high, hanging out about 4 ft. Its seen better days, and has been
bent multiple times from snow accumulation.

Want to built a nicer solid wood one with shingles,e tc. This seems to
fall under the building class of a Portioc. While I have the awning as
a rough design spec, I would really love to find a small building plan
for this. I am pretty goot at DIY, but for this would need a plan to
follow (to save 25 trips to home depot for mistakes ;^).

Search all the Buy Online Plans sites but cant seem to find anything
for this seemingly simple project. Also dont really have an example in
the neighborhood to go off of. Anyone know of a good plans site I
might have missed?

Thanks
Todd

How about books? They still print them and many of the DIY store carry
books with plans for decks and outbuildings so you may have better luck
there.

The connection with the building is important.
Most stock plans and project kits don't address this.
Structure and flashing both need to be checked.
