Hey everyone.
Can i have some constructive criticism / advice on building a car port on my house please? i am fine with the construction and fixings etc its more the design i need help with.
I have mocked it up to scale in Sketchup and here are some shots and info of timber etc - whats your advice? is it all okay or should i change anything?
(Apologies but my terminology etc will be very amateurish!)
All timber is Treated Timber.
from building to supporting pillars = 4100
from the building "Front" to the main garage = 3900
the the small walkway bit is a simple 1600x5000
here are some images of what i have in mind - please fire away some comments and advice

- Main supporting timbers (vertical ones) are 4x4 and will be spaced 2900mm apart and secured to concrete footings i will pour and attached to metal feet stood off the ground. BUT i would like to space one pair 3950 apart as this will allow me more space - is that span okay?
- the timber attached to the vertical supports that will form the "Frame" will be 6x2
- the timber from the building to the supports will be 4x2
- then across the 4x2 to support the corrugated plastic roofing will be 2x2
- Finally the plastic roofing will be 1.1mm, with 760mm between the supports holding it.
