How to build a slanted metal porch roof.

Notice that the tops of the 6x6 support posts are notched to hold the header beam. Mauerlat must be. In the lower end of the rafter leg cut out. Install temporary bracing to keep the support posts level and in place.

This is part two of the porch build where i am doing the roof. Place it at the ends of the outer wall on the pre fixed waterproofing material. This meant the patio cover could start at the edge of the house s roof at a height of eight feet and slope down to seven feet leaving a clearance of more than six and a half feet between the lowest part of the frame s headers and the ground at its outer edge. Place the first screw.

You can either remove the eave or just keep it. Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Using lag bolts and a screwdriver fasten the base of the posts to the ground. At the first stage the mauerlat is installed.

Install the 2 2x10 header beams to the notched 6x6 support posts. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. Significantly cheaper to build than a gable or multi slope roof since there s less material in the roof. You have to make.

Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. Use thru bolts for a solid and strong connection. Using corrugated metal also allows me to reduce the degree of slope or roof pitch needed to a mere 10 percent or a 1 to 10 pitch. Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof.

Measure the sightline clearance height from the roof to the house not the other way around.
