How to build a tin roof awning.

For the two sides trace the wood frame onto the metal to get the angles right. I have been wanting something unique for his windows that would fit the style of his. To bend sheet metal flashing make a form by clamping two 2 by 4s together on each side of the metal and then hammer the metal to create a sharp edge at each fold. Use metal screws to attach the metal to the wood frame.

Lay out the pre cut corrugated metal awning pieces across from the post header to the wall ledger. Screw the steel hex washer head screws into the tops of corrugated waves of tin roofing material to prevent leaking through screw holes at the bottoms of the waves when rain runs down the roof. Carefully cut them with tin snips. Diy corrugated metal awning.

This meant the patio cover could start at the edge of the house s roof at a height of eight feet and slope down to seven feet leaving a clearance of more than six and a half feet between the lowest part of the frame s headers and the ground at its outer edge. To install them remove the largest front metal panels. The result is much neater if you buy pre formed flashing. Attach 3 by 3 foot sheets of tin to each section of the frame using 1 inch steel hex washer head screws and a cordless drill.

The corrugated metal pieces are about 18 inches wide and interlock. 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. Attach each one at both ends with 5 8 inch screws. Watch me build a super simple overhang roof on the side of my shop to cover fire wood from the elements.

I built the awnings with 2 3 boards and a sheet of corrugated metal.
