Framing A Lean To Roof With Overhang

Use 1 2 plywood for the roof sheets.

Framing a lean to roof with overhang.

Roof framing plan cut the six 2x6 rafters following the rafter template. If it is needed cut the metal roof panel to the length you need with tin snips hopefully you don t have too. When attaching ledger board to an existing wall install proper flashing when required. Use right size of rafters and headers.

After is adding the metal panels you will want the metal to extend 1 2 past the framing will run from tall side to short. Mark the rafter layout onto the wall plates and ledger as shown in the roof framing plan then install the ledger flush with the back side of the rear wall. Make cuts to the sheets and lay them on top of the roof structure. Once cut check to make sure the two lengths of 2x4s meet uniformly at the roof peak.

Attach the ledger with 1 2 inch diameter lag screws or bolts every 16 inches or as specified by local building codes. The lower end is done the same way a skillion or shed roof is. Do the same for the other side. Notch a birdsmouth where it sits on the low wall and extend it past the wall for the eaves.

Lean to shed roof framing. Use this measurement to cut a length of 2 4 making sure that one side of the board is miter cut to match the peak of the roof. Space rafters either 16 o c. Re check for level and then drill lag screw or bolt pilot holes through the ledger and into the house s framing.

Design lean to roof per your local building codes. A lean to roof just means it s attached to an existing structure. Begin by measuring from your extended fascia to the peak of the shed. Temporarily nail or brace the ledger in place positioned and leveled at the desired height.

For shingles or 24 o c. Use a razor blade to cut it and have it the size of the roof. Drill pilot holes and insert 1 5 8 screws every 8 along the framing.
