I have a client that used to have an awning attached to a walk-out basement door. It has blown off a few times due to wind and they want we to build a small porch roof (covering a 6x8 area) over the door instead. The problem is that the house is in brick veneer (full brick). I was planning on a hip roof for strength against wind and also to eliminate the need to cover a gable with a material that won't be brick. Any ideas on the best way to attach the 2 small rafters and 1 longer (5'?) nailer for the rafters running into the house? Also, should I try a gable roof instead to eliminate and load against the house?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Tom
