I need help with how to build a porch on my house. The entrance is located on the gable end of the house, and what I'm unsure about is how to connect the roof to the house gable. The porch will be built on two concrete pillars at the front and against a screwed-in beam in the house foundation. The house has traditional board cladding with battens.
I have reviewed Beijer's small brochures where they have a version of a porch, but I don't think that solution is good. I don't want to attach the porch roof to the facade boards but more securely to the framework. The facade boards should be replaceable if needed without having to tear down or loosen the porch.
Anyone in the construction industry who can share their knowledge and preferably some sketches/drawings of solutions.

Come on guys....!!!
Is there really no one with experience in building a porch on a house gable? If no professional is available, maybe some enthusiastic amateur has done, or been involved in something similar. But I don't want guesses, just real ideas.

I did like you. Cut out in the panel, removed the panel on the inside of the porch, put a "false rafter" on the house wall. It has the same function as the one you set for the floor. Then tongue-and-groove boards and tiles. After that, I slipped a sheet under the panel that extends over the roof.
Not good at explaining. Maybe pictures will help. Otherwise, feel free to ask more questions.

How did you attach the panel boards to the new ends, did you insert another regel underneath them?
Another thing, don't build the veranda so wide that the roof overhang extends beyond the gable of the house, it looks terrible!

Is it the "fusktakstolen" that can be seen in the pictures? How did you attach them to the wall? Did you then nail the panel boards tightly against the fusktakstolen even on the outside of the fascia board? How far did you let the sheet metal extend sideways? Do you have a gutter on the porch roof there now? Maybe you have a picture of the finished result or possibly could take one.....
I attached it with screws to existing studs.
The reason I removed my panel was because I am going to have a different panel on the porch. If you plan to have the same panel, you only need to remove the battens.
Found some old pictures from the construction

Beautiful pictures. In the last picture, you can see how you've finished the sheet. I don't want to screw into the panel and thus lock the panel boards behind the veranda's roof, in case one wants/needs to replace them someday. Unfortunately, I have an insulation board that lies outside the studs. The nail battens are nailed into the studs with a round spacer sleeve through the insulation. I guess I'll have to cut into the insulation and nail a block into the stud first, or...?
How did you handle the underlay felt against the house wall? Do you have a triangular list first that you've laid the felt on, and have you pulled the felt up inside the panel boards?
How did you deal with the fascia board on the veranda? Does it go flush against the house panel, or have you cut the panel so it fits against the fascia board?
This turned out to be quite a few and tricky questions. It's sometimes a bit difficult to express what you really mean. I hope you understand; otherwise, I'll ask again...

My panel is not locked. After the second last image, I used a circular saw on the panel along the roof. The panel does not go below the sheet metal. On the inside of the roof, I never had a triangular strip but just folded the paper against the existing house wall. The footboard goes against the existing house wall and the panel is cut after it. You can see if you look closely at the second image.
