Hi gents i am intending to build a wooden carport next year so am just looking to pick your brains. The house is a traditional semi detatched the carport will be 6m in lenght x2.2 wide. Timber down the lenght of the house 4x4 posts sunk in the ground the opposite side rafters down the middle. My question is this, what is the best way to secure the rafters to either end, how do i secure the timber to the house wall, and finally do i need to put timber in between the rafters. Im no chippie just your average diy joe.
