Making a "lean to" roof for a walkway

Making a "lean to" roof for a walkway - Part 2

Рет қаралды 124,764

Күн бұрын

This video follows the second 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 2 shows how I installed the polycarbonate roof panels and completed the lead flashing. It also shows the addition of the uPVC fascia panels, guttering and drainpipes.
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

Yes a very good job ! Others should always remember that it is not good practice to discharge ‘ your ‘ rainwater , onto next door neighbours land . Also to remember that any guttering that is fitted should technically not ‘ hang ‘ into your neighbours airspace etc . Just a couple of legal points there , that I know professionally, create neighbour ‘ wars ‘ and disputes future down the line so to speak ! 🇬🇧

So happy you put guttering on, saves your neighbours a soaking!

Incredibly helpful, thank you. It is a far from easy one-man job and managing your own filming at the same time is remarkable - well done

It's handy to have a good relationship with your neighbours. Mine's a complete dickhead so I'd need a slightly different approach to the job. But thanks, these are the best videos I've seen on the subject

@mr.meseeks2037 3 жыл бұрын

If you're neighbour's are dickheads leave the guttering off so they get soaked every time they walk past lol

@dannymurphy1779 5 жыл бұрын

Top job thanks for sharing! All I would say is that 2m is the legal height of a boundary fence, if I was building one I would have the roof finish at the fence height and also ensure the gutter is inside the boundary. But great work and most helpful, I am thinking of doing same.

@dinocitozi9216 5 жыл бұрын

Yes agree this is what I am planning to do different. The height to be above my Fence and guttering to be with the boundaries you don't want to upset your neighbours.

@richardbrighton1686 4 жыл бұрын

The wall plate cannot exceed 2 5 m if within 2 metres of a boundary. Stick to that and other rules and it becomes an exempt building. So technically the edge of the building could be 2.5 metres high if it was flat roofed.

Clearly not a professional in any of the used trades, and have in some situations made the job more difficult than necessary, however, the patience care and dedication you have shown definitely shows that skill isn’t everything and that we Dont always need professionals who lack the respect to other people’s property who just want a quick ‘in and out’ , quick buck job leaving a mess. Well done mate.

You must have a very cooperative neighbour and I'm surprised they haven't asked you to build them one too. Wondered what you'd do with water, and a gutter along the fence centre seems a good solution. What did the neighbours say?
