Making a "lean to" roof for a walkway

Making a "lean to" roof for a walkway - Part 1

This video follows the first part of my project to make a lean to roof over a walkway at the side of my house. It has now turned the walkway into a useful, sheltered space.
Part 1 shows how I designed the roof and built the frame for it as well as how I chased out a channel in my brickwork for the lead flashing.
I am a KZfaq DIYer and am no expert but have built a very solid roof. If this video has helped you with a similar project or given you the confidence to give it a try then please let me know in the comments. I also welcome constructive criticism or advice on how things can be done better.
If you have enjoyed the video please give me a like with a thumbs up and subscribe.
Thanks for watching

@evocraig2062 3 жыл бұрын

Question about drilling into the concrete posts. Have you had any adverse effects i.e. cracking or fixings loosening from the wind and elements over time? I'm thinking of doing the same thing instead of sinking more posts into the ground right against my fence. Great vid btw👍

Thank you for the brilliant video. However, I have some concerns about using the neighbour's fence, am I allowed to use their fence as part of the walk-way/shed please? Thank you very much for your time.

I'm thinking of building something similar at the side of my house. The problem I have is that I will be using clear plastic sheeting as the roof. However there's a black pipe coming down the side of the house. When i put the plastic sheeting around the pipe. What's the best way to make it water tight?

Very professional and explained perfectly. I will be doing something similar very soon and hope it turns out as well as yours. The only part I will not be doing is applying the lead flashing. Any suggestions what I can do as an alternative. Thanks.

I know this is an old video but it popped up when I was watching something else. Check your local Council. This could need planning permission and if it’s a party wall, you will need your neighbours permission. Just because it’s your house and your fence it doesn’t mean you can do what you want.

Permitted development rights allow a max height of 2.5m within 2m of a boundary.. so long as the structure doesn't project forward of the principal elevation of the property.. Check out the gov planning portal.... It's worth checking with your local planning authority because some authorities have exclusions which prohibits this kind of development..
