In this case it is possible to establish beautiful canopy over outer door and porch. Canopies are good addition of any exterior. They can be the most various forms and are made of different materials. There are canopies over gazebo, over porch at the entrance to the building and garden canopies.

Instruction

1. The canopy only externally can seem rather simple design. Actually, it is very important to make right measurements originally. Then it is necessary to develop the project and only after that, according to it it is possible to pass to construction. It is possible to build canopy over porch from tree or polycarbonate.

2. Establish at distance 1.5 m from facade two wooden racks made of bar 15-20 cm wide 2.2 m high. Below they should not concern the earth - if you have concrete foundation at porch, just screw self-tapping screws on anchors (special fasteners) concreted in inflows of this base.

3. From above, parallel to facade, lay on racks horizontal crossbeam from bar, and then tie the turned-out design two short crossing points to facade.

4. Take two curved sheets of polycarbonate and attach one longitudinal party directly to the bar screwed on facade wall of the house. Fix other party on horizontal crossbeam which is laid from above on rack.

5. Close the place of joint of sheets aluminum decorative strip with rubber gasket. Then establish longitudinal additional support (the normal thick and strong beam will approach) for these sheets at distance of 60 cm from facade wall.

6. There is also other option: you can make ledger supporting beam of equal oak rail, 25x75 mm in size, only in this case it will need to be supported from below with the rail curved by arch. Such arch will rest the ends against crossing points, and to support by the central region the facilitated longitudinal support, thereby well strengthening it.

7. At installation of this additional support carefully verify all sizes of its parts and adjust in the place so that 2 leaves have been rather densely pressed to the main rail, on all length without saggings and gaps.
