How to build a roof over entry door.

We approach everything on a project as if it is a design challeng. Step 5 fix the roof frame. Nail the three boards you just cut into the side of the triangle that has the plywood brace and then raise the whole unit. Square off the unit and make sure it is level.

Build the corbels out of 2x4s by screwing together l shapes and adding a 45 degree angled piece between them. The board should be placed foot. The installation of the top parts was challenging mostly due to the fact that i m only 5 feet tall but i finally figured out the solution. The building process was actually pretty easy so far.

Step 4 lift the roof frame. Step 3 make a roof frame. Step 2 make a triangle frame. Put the whole roof frame together.

Install the corbels flush with the top of the door trim and against the side door trim. Attach it to the side of the frame you just installed on the side of the house supported by temporary wooden braces. Bringing you along on how we would design and build one piece of a big puzzle on a project. Measure the width of the door frame using a tape measure and add 2 feet to this number to find the width of the roof you will build.

Cut two more pieces of 2 by 4 inch lumber 18 inches long. Attach the plywood board to the exterior side of the front door where you need the roof. I pulled my truck as close to the door as i could safely get it and set up my 8 foot ladder in the bed of the truck. Cut three pieces of 2 by 4 inch lumber to this length using a circular saw.
