Overhang bracing roofing.
Using a cantilever means you don t need external bracing.
Under the director of public.
Large 8 x 8 posts are necessary for the use of supporting a porch roof.
The overhang is 5 from the surface of the wall sheathing to the fascia and the brace beam is 4.
Use pressure treated 4 by 4 beams to build a basic craftsman bracket.
Repeat for each brace until they re all in place.
It provides lateral stability preventing collapse of a wall deck roof etc.
I think there should be a vertical post as part of the brace against the wall but i m not sure if it should be attached directly to the sheathing or i should include a piece of rigid foam between the brace and the sheathing.
A cantilever is a rigid structural element anchored only at one end to a vertical support from which it is protruding.
The larger the roof is the more support that you are going to need.
Tuck the angled side of the brace under the eaves with the cut part pressing vertically against the support beam that meets the columns.
A cantilever roof overhang is one way to really give a really distinctive look to your home.
If the overhang is more than 12 it is a key potential weak point and should be evaluated further to determine whether there are outriggers and if so whether they are strapped to the top of the wall below.
Make sure they re tight.
Measure the eave overhang from the exterior wall and add 5 inches to the measurement to provide a reveal or extension on the end of the horizontal beam that supports the eave if desired but you can cut it longer or shorter.

If you have existing brackets use one for reference.
An overhang protects the upper portion of the wall that it is attached to from rainfall and it also shades the windows under it from the sun.
Let s talk about what happens when you don t have diagonal bracing in place so you get a better understanding.
Overhangs can be open.
If the overhang is less than about 12 the overhang may not be at great risk but a poor roof sheathing attachment could still pose a risk.
Overhangs are extensions of the roof beyond the exterior wall i e the joists rafters or trusses and the decking they support cantilever past the wall.
For larger porches such as wrap around porches you will want to make sure that the support is more than you need.
Cantilevered structures are popular for homes with balconies.
While many like to use the smaller 4 x 4 posts they can tend.
