The shed roof, also known as a lean-to roof, is the most straightforward roof design for a porch because it just has one sloping plane that extends from the main building. Among the many benefits of this simple design are its simple structure, low material requirements, and ease of installation. Its one-way slope allows for efficient water drainage and minimal maintenance needs.
The first step in building a shed roof is to fasten the upper portion of the roof to the house's outer wall. Along the porch's perimeter are vertical posts or columns that support the lower end. Depending on the local environment, the slope may change; softer slopes are more suitable in arid climates, while steeper slopes are best in regions with a lot of rain or snow.
