Planning on doing a lean to porch roof across the full width of the front of my house, 10m ish. Any tips on the structure, I want visible oak posts (presumably 6”) then planning on using c24 (5x2 ish or doubled up?) across the top which will be clad with upvc fascia bearing onto the posts.
Any idea on post spacing? The lean to rafter span will be about 1m tops.
What’s the normal approach for the posts, set ‘em into the ground like fence posts, or build brick/blockwork plinths?
Any tips or ideas from anyone who’s seen/done this before welcome!
