I want to build a storm porch over a bay window which has a flat roof. Are there any websites showing me how to go about it?

Nice one Shy;
link doesn't seem to be working though!Sponsored Links
start with a pair of suitably sized gallows brackets either side of the window.
these gallows can be the support for a spanning timber which will catch the low end of the rafters. the rafters will be birdsmouthed onto this timber.
a simple bearer plate can be bolted to the wall to deal with the high end of the rafter.
a hipped roof design is usually the most suitable over a single window..
Will the outer edge be supported by the front of the bay?
makes it easier if it is, but perhaps I'm missing something?
and suppose they ever wish to replace the bay window in the future..............
never in doubt chesss.
i think it is logical to build the roof independent of the window as windows these days are not seen as the permanent structures they once were.
Thanks Guys
