Hello all,
I have a framing question regarding a small roof that I would like to build. The roof would be a small gable extending five feet out from the wall of a house, covering a small stoop type entry way. The outside of the roof would be supported by posts which in turn support beams which travel back to the house. THe question is how to attach the beams to the house? I have considered lagging a ledger into the studs and hanging the beams off of it with simpson fittings. Is there a better way to go? I would rather not add any type of post at the house wall.
THanks,
Matt
