Lean-to Pavilion Rafters

I bought 2×6 (nominal) Douglas Fir rafters and attached them across both beams with the help of galvanized rafter ties.

I marked the location of the rafter ties on 16 inch centers and screwed them to the beams. The roof has an 8 degree pitch and I cut that angle on the ends of the rafters when I cut them to length.

I made a pencil mark on each for the low end overhang where it sits on the beam.
Working by myself it was then easier to set these in place and screw them to the ties.

I added some blocking between the two end rafters to help secure the 2×8 Fir end rafter.

Over the rafters I attached 1×8 cedar slats to give me something to screw the metal roof panels to.

Across the ends of the rafters is a 1×8 facia. And that’s on the low and high end.

This pavilion roof extends out over the existing shed roof by around 12 inches.

Next I screwed on the overlapping roof panels. These are roughly 36″ wide by 12′ long. I have a shear attachment for a drill that works great at ripping the last panel down to width.

On the upper leading edge I have flashing with a drip edge screwed to the facia.

I had some metal flashing bent to cover the ends to cover the sided of the roof panels.

Lean-to Privacy Wall

I wanted a privacy wall on the far side of the pavilion. I attached a 4×4 post saddle to the concrete and installed a post.

I added some horizontal stained cedar boards to cleats on the corner posts using screws. And that’s the just of it.
