Hello!

I would gratefully like to receive pictures/advice on how you have connected your patio roof at an angle to make it look as nice as possible.

I will myself attach the inner bearing beam to the roof edge to achieve a reasonable roof pitch. And because I think it looks the best.
But then there's the smaller roof overhang that I have to tackle. See the picture with the blue arrow.

How would you handle the connection of that?

Are you building with loose timber or is it a ready-made kit? What type of roof will it be?

It will be a ready-made willab with a channel plastic roof.
I imagine that the glulam beam at the top of the trusses will more or less follow the eaves. So perhaps the easiest thing is to get the connection nicely sheeted by a real roofer?
 
Is it something like this? Apart from the cut-off corner.

Exactly! Are there more pictures you can show of it? Both inside and outside.
 
Unfortunately, I can't find any more pictures from other angles. I found this one, where they placed a sheet. I guess the sheet slides under the base plate. A white sheet for your part should look the best. What I'm contemplating is the gap that forms at the front, circled. You'd want a solution there that doesn't allow rain, snow, or birds to get in.

Hi,
You wrote in my other thread, but I'm replying here. 😉

Here's how we solved it; I'll see if I can get some more pictures when I get home.
Simply put, I let the patio structure go under the eave, then I removed the panel from the eave and placed glulam beams that I attached to the ends of the rafters. I attached the patio beams to one of the glulam beams, and the other one becomes the end against the house. I placed metal sheets at the transition between the glulam beam and the patio roof. No major problems after 6 years now; the only issue might be that some debris occasionally comes in from the roof. We live in a birch forest and I think it's pollen that gets blown in under the roofing felt and down into the eave, eventually making its way into the patio. I'm attaching some pictures I had on my phone and tried to illustrate in paint. Wooden deck with a white house featuring a glass-enclosed patio. Roof integration is visible, with a rake and chairs on the deck, surrounded by greenery. t. Dining area in a wooden-floored sunroom with glass windows and ceiling, featuring a table with a leaf-patterned tablecloth, accompanied by chairs. Roof edge with gutter and sliding glass doors of a sunroom connecting to a house; visible wooden panels and drainage pipe. Illustration of a porch roof design showing beams attached to rafters, with one beam ending against the house and metal sheeting covering the joint with the porch roof. Diagram illustrating a DIY veranda framework with laminated beams under the eaves, showing the connection between beams and roof, created in a simple paint program.

Simply put, I let the porch frame go under the eaves, then I removed the panel on the eaves and placed glulam beams that I attached to the short ends of the rafters. One glulam beam I attached the roof beams of the porch on, and the other serves as the end against the house. I placed sheet metal in the transition between the glulam beam and the porch roof. No major problems after 6 years now, except that a little debris comes in from the roof occasionally.

Many thanks! I think what I'm going to build is almost identical to yours.
It looks like you've built up the decking to have the floor level in the porch the same as inside the house? That's what I've done too, but with a concrete slab.

How did you solve the sealing in the roof slope you have on the channel plastic?
Was it by having a sufficiently high glulam beam to catch the height difference from start to finish?
I'm planning to build with about a 4-degree roof angle and the depth of my porch is about 5.5m, so it would need to be a beam 400-450mm high, which is tough.
What does it look like from the inside?

I bought a frame from willabgarden that was for 1 wall, then I had an extra beam that I used for that purpose. The sunroom is 5.7 x 4.1m. What roof height will you have on the long side with a 5.5 meter width?

Pictures from inside and on the execution are coming!

The width I wrote was actually meant as the depth and it will be 5046mm (not 5.5). I assume you mean the long side at the front? It will be about the same as yours. Glass sections 2000mm + load-bearing beam.

Here are some pictures. One thing to keep in mind is that there might be drafts from the eaves, so don't forget to seal there if you don't want that.
Sorry it's so dirty, I'm in the process of cleaning the roof.

What roof did you install that can handle such a low slope?
