Side door overhang

Since we bought the house, we always thought the side door entrance needed an overhang. My design was to have the brackets match the existing roof brackets, the pitch and width match the house, and a wainscoting ceiling to match the porch ceiling. Jerry cut into the siding with a skill saw, and never cracked a piece of siding. Everything fit into place perfectly. He did an amazing job. The ceiling light matches the two lights on the porch as well.

It really looks like it has always been there. Which was the idea.

  3. Hello! We built a small portico fashioned after this and it looks amazing, here are our dimensions:
    7'wide, 2' deep
    corbels: 35.5" tall 26" deep
    61" between the corbels, ours is wider than the one pictured because our porch light is on one side of the door and we made equal space on each side because of that.
    26.5 degree slope, we matched our roof pitch so yours might be different than that. Would be happy to provide more information if needed!

  6. Beautiful covering.
    But dimensions, angles etc are missing. Funny the heading fot this project is how to build this covering yet all it is is pictures showing the progress.
    Poorly done if your intention was for a DYI individual to build this.

    Next if you want to show how something is built. Us Do it yourselves would require a material list, angles of cuts, hardware and Step by step instructions nit a few pictures....
