My only comment was I built something similar on my front door and it turned out really nice but what I used was corrugated metal it was so much simpler I put tarpaper down then I put the metal and it kind of gave a contrast and it worked out really well over my front door good job that’s not easy to do by yourself

Great project. I was wondering, did you just hit a nail at 3:37 ?

I believe it was the staple that was holding the tag onto the end of the board. I failed to remove it before cutting. Good eye!

@@renaissanceguy148 Thanks for sharing. I'm doing my own awning, this is very helpful.

Curious why you choose plywood and shingles over lighter corrugated roof?

To match the look that the shed already had.

Hello. Great awning! Wondering what the angle cuts are for the support end pieces. Saw the top piece cuts are 16 degrees. What about the side support and how low from the top did you screw them in?

Hmmm...I don't remember the angles I used for the side supports. I might be able to find the answer with a bevel gauge. And I don't understand the second question...are you asking about where they're attached to the wall or to the roof?

~16° is an awful angle to mount the solar to, isn't it?

It's not an ideal angle for panels that are mounted directly to the roof. But I have three panels on an angled stand as well as one panel mounted directly. So the three are close to an ideal angle, while the one is a little shallow. But also, the awning is about 8' at it's highest point, and if I angled it to much, I'd have to duck to get under the front of it.
