How to build a tin roof awning.

I started by cutting my long back piece that will attach to the wall over the window and the two side pieces. To bend sheet metal flashing make a form by clamping two 2 by 4s together on each side of the metal and then hammer the metal to create a sharp edge at each fold. Attach each one at both ends with 5 8 inch screws. This is a super simple project and requires just a f.

The result is much neater if you buy pre formed flashing. The long piece needs to be about 6 wider than your window. Screw the steel hex washer head screws into the tops of corrugated waves of tin roofing material to prevent leaking through screw holes at the bottoms of the waves when rain runs down the roof. The corrugated metal pieces are about 18 inches wide and interlock.

Use metal screws to attach the metal to the wood frame. To install them remove the largest front metal panels. 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. 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.

I have been wanting something unique for his windows that would fit the style of his. Watch me build a super simple overhang roof on the side of my shop to cover fire wood from the elements. Attach 3 by 3 foot sheets of tin to each section of the frame using 1 inch steel hex washer head screws and a cordless drill. Lay out the pre cut corrugated metal awning pieces across from the post header to the wall ledger.

Carefully cut them with tin snips.
