Roof Overhang Above A Patio Door
We have an exposed to weather sliding glass door on back of home. We
originally bought a cheaper Home Depot awning to protect it from weather and provide a little shade. This awning didnt last long with snow and weather, as you can see from the picture's below ;^) I would like to replace it with a wood and shingle one but would really like to have some basic plans. Im pretty handy, having build a nice shed this past year, but it had plans. Im guessing an overhang, no matter how small, can be tricky. Any plans out there or tips? Want it to replicate the awning specs which were pretty basic: About 9 ft wide, hanging out 40" and dropping about 10" overt han 40" overhang. Posted this at another forum with no results but the pictures are the http://www.diychatroom.com/f19/roof-...io-door-37888/ |

Given the scope of the work, it may be beyond a DIY job and need to have bids and such for you to consider. Sketch some porticos that would work and show those to the expert involved in the plans. Done right it will be a really pleasant addition to your house. Joe |
