How to build a slanted metal porch roof.

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. Measure the sightline clearance height from the roof to the house not the other way around. Install the 2 2x10 header beams to the notched 6x6 support posts. This is part two of the porch build where i am doing the roof.

Using lag bolts and a screwdriver fasten the base of the posts to the ground. Install temporary bracing to keep the support posts level and in place. You have to make. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel.

Use thru bolts for a solid and strong connection. Notice that the tops of the 6x6 support posts are notched to hold the header beam. Mauerlat must be. Install the header beam.

Be sure the larger edge is laid so that the small edge of the next panel will overlap it. Place it at the ends of the outer wall on the pre fixed waterproofing material. In the lower end of the rafter leg cut out. Place the first screw.

At the first stage the mauerlat is installed. I show how i construct it showning in detail how to do the lead flashing. Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. Measure the size of the beam that you are going to use.

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.
