How to build a slanted metal porch roof. Basically a slanted roof style is a flat roof tilted high up at one edge to create a very steep slope. Install the roofing screws vertically along each rib in the panel. Install the header beam. Place it at the ends of the outer wall on the pre fixed waterproofing material.

This is part two of the porch build where i am doing the roof. Align the first metal roofing panel so that it overlaps the edging by 1 2 to 3 4 of an inch and is square to the roof. Install temporary bracing to keep the support posts level and in place. Place the first screw.

For their forming take a pine board with a thickness of 2 inches. Measure the sightline clearance height from the roof to the house not the other way around. In the lower end of the rafter leg cut out. Install the 2 2x10 header beams to the notched 6x6 support posts.

At the first stage the mauerlat is installed. I show how i construct it showning in detail how to do the lead flashing. You can either remove the eave or just keep it. Notice that the tops of the 6x6 support posts are notched to hold the header beam.

Mauerlat must be. Using lag bolts and a screwdriver fasten the base of the posts to the ground. Using corrugated metal also allows me to reduce the degree of slope or roof pitch needed to a mere 10 percent or a 1 to 10 pitch. Measure the size of the beam that you are going to use.

Use thru bolts for a solid and strong connection.
