Hello and thanks for taking a look.
Our garden is enclosed with a fence that returns to meet the side of the house and I want to made dry a section around 17 Sq/m with a simple lean to using polycarbonate roofing. Not done this before...
Can anyone please advise on timber sizes?
Not sure of centres- will probably go with something that matches polycarbonate widths...?
It will be enclosed at the drive side- only open at the wider end, (there is a 6' gate to driveway not shown.
See pics for sizes. I have looked for span tables but cannot find any(thing simple like me).
At eaves end, I want the gutter to stop along the edge of the current fence so it will keep out the rain. Shame the area is not square....
Plan view shows the roof only having x2 support posts. With a 5.2m span? Thinking x2 5"x2" nailed and bolted together?
I want to make it independent of the fencing as I expect it will be the fence that needs replacing next.
Internet says no need for planning. I think it's a very steep pitch so maybe it can afford to be on the skinny side- timbers wise... but then the gutter up to the fence top design would hold snow... But not much snow in Somerset..
And if anyone knows peasant logic ways to get the angles and birds mouths correct (as I have no common joist lengths ....I'd be grateful of any tips/pointers...
Any thoughts/pointers much appreciated.
Thanks, M
