I have a pellet grill that keeps getting wet and the auger plugs up, it's annoying to clear out... plus if I had some rain cover on the back deck thing it would be kinda nice... The problem is this deck is right in front of the kitchen window so I don't want to cover up the whole view... Keep in mind this is on the down wind side of the house and there's a 1' overhang on the roof next to where I'm talking about
So here's my thought, I have a bunch of 3' lengths of metal roofing and a fair amount of some light gauge 2" steel square tubing. If I made two perlins out of the tube then made 3 brackets to lag bolt to the wall that are 3' tall would that be sufficient for a 3'x15' with about a 2-12 roof slope? This would mount the roofing just under the gutter on the house. I could do 4 brackets, I would just prefer to not do any posts... I'm in western Oregon, snow load shouldn't be an issue as it's been years since there's been more than 3" of snow and even that is rare...
I'll get a picture of where I'm talking about and make a sketch of the brackets I'm thinking of later today...
