Hi builders,
I have at present a porch that,s basically useless and poorly built.
I want to take it down and build one that,s 3.0 m L and 1.5 w, half height 9 inch brick.
I would like to fix upvc windows front and sides on top of the brickwork with upvc door in center.
Bolt the window frames together and to front of house and build an apex roof on top of window frames using timber rafters and bracing joists with a synthetic slate roof tile.
My only concern is can the upvc window frames take the weight.
Would appreciate any feed back from this project.
