I just made these for my neighbor. Lady gave me a 100 bonus because she loved them

Looks great! Where do you get the panels to fit your awning? Do you cut them down or have them custom made to fit?

[ddmcpaisley]

Love the double angle cuts at the front end of the boards.

[jerrellspencer]

Can I get the measurements of the cuts and the size lumber you use.

Hi! How did you adhere the wood based to the exterior of the house? I currently am looking to do this on vinyl siding and trying to decide what is best. Thanks!

Did you flash your awning's at the top? Beautiful too by the way!!

[redwood]

Nice job how did you tie the metal roof into the vertical siding at the top to thank you

[candiceschreiner]

WHat kind of flashing did you use on the eve end? I am trying to build some on my pavilion and I cant find a flashing with the same profile as the metal wall.

Just toe nail the middle support rail to the uprights and then onto the 6x6? Looks clean but as a weekend warrior I don't feel I can trust such joints. I'd end up cutting 1" troughs in the 6x6 and the top rail and glue/screw. But I'm an anal retired dentist. Are the toe nails strong enough (I realize little load)

nice but damn you covered the entire window, lol might as well board it up

All that work and you didn’t install a transition flashing between exterior wall and awning……that’s a no no.
