Decks, Patios, Porches and Docks - city porch roof at entry

I have a duplex with a front concrete porch. Brick front, with limestone outlining the two door entrance. Flat front building. I am looking to add a small roof over the entry way to give the building some dimension as well as a dry entry at the door.

Is there is a good website that has both some build and design plan ideas?

I would like a design that comes out approx 1.5' - 2' from the house, using only side supports and bolt to wall (ie no posts to support). there are a number in the neighborhood like this. Roof design to be flat, running from house wall forward, with angled side. Considering a tin roof. Any help of where i can find some good resources would be appreciated. Thanks

kwedberg,

Unfortunately, when it comes to porch roofs, design and plans is done entirely on a custom level. Each one is different based upon the existing architectual properties of the home and/or building.

If you have seen some that you liked on your street use them as your base and design them from there.

I have attached some links for possible ideas;

If you are considering a tin roof, I would think that you will hire this done, make some calls and get some addresses to look at them.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the websites. two that we are considering are on the one site, at least style wise.
