I have a brick house with a flat-faced elevation. My front door is taking a beating from the sun and rain. I'm considering building a cover with a couple of columns in each front corner. I would also like to build a flat top over it with a railing around the top. I'll post a link to picture of an example if I can find one.
I am an experienced woodworker, but could use some good pointers on this project such as types of material to use for the columns, how to join it to the brick over the door, etc. Thanks.
