Shed Style Covers

4 GUIDES


single-slope design

A clean shed-style cover

One continuous slope pitched away from the house. Pick the mounting configuration below that fits the jobsite — each is a complete step-by-step guide.


SHED STYLE

Wall Mount

Ledger attaches directly to the house wall, below the eave. The most common configuration for single-story homes with adequate wall height.


SHED STYLE

Facia Mount

Ledger fastens to the fascia board at the edge of the existing roofline — ideal when wall height is limited or the cover ties into the eave.

SHED STYLE

Roof Mount

Mounts over the existing roof surface and ties into the rafters, carrying the cover out past the eave when neither wall nor fascia can take the load.


vIDEOS COMING SOON!

SHED STYLE

Raised Roof Mount

Raised on a riser so the new cover clears the existing roofline — for higher pitches or to keep headroom and sightlines above the eave.
