AngieRobshaw Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I am having trouble figuring out how to add a shed roof over the back porch. I have followed the instructions in the manual but it makes the main roof go crazy. Tried all different combinations of instructions but they all end messing up the main roof. I am using HD 2020.

Rookie65 Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Probably a good time to learn about creating manual roofs. Which direction do you want the shed roof to run? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solver, your back porch suggestion is a good one, however this is a small spec house and the shallow shed is cheaper. We are sacrificing design for dollars, where it doesn't show as much. I think the break in the front side is a great idea, looks good and goes with the money saving M.O. Now to figure out how to do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like the shed roof to be over the back porch and run from front to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieRobshaw Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Solver, Yes, I am constrained by a narrow / small lot. That bathroom design is definitely the most space efficient, but I have difficulty cutting every corner. I add in the few things that are most important to me where I can. (tiny bathrooms make me crazy) I really appreciate all the suggestions. Measurements are fixed. Lowered the front pitch to 6. Love how it looks, but I'm not sure I did it correctly. Made a mess of the front porch trying to figure out how to add that break. I Just ended up deleting the front porch roof and I will get back to it tomorrow. Builder says no to moving the right side forward, so I am back to my original question. How to add a shed roof on the back porch? Thank you, Angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted more cottage, less traditional. The house plans have already been approved thru the HOA, so I really can't completely redesign it.
