A canopy above the porch is made not only for home decoration, but also for protection purposes. The canopy saves from snow and rain at the moment of opening the doors. You can make a protective canopy yourself. For this we use materials:
1. A pipe with dimensions of 20 * 40 mm.
2. Anchor bolts in the amount of 4 pcs.
3. A professional sheet 93 cm * 2 m in size.
4. Board - 3 pcs.
5. Self-tapping screws with sealing washers for fixing the profiled sheet.

The process of making a canopy.
1. From the pipe we produce the “scarves” of the right size. After that, “kerchiefs” are primed and painted.

2. In places of attachment to the wall, in “scarves” we drill holes. The kerchiefs are ready.

3. Using anchor bolts 10 * 900 mm in size, we fix the "scarves".

4. We mount in two places - above and below.
5. The next step is to measure the board. The size of the board should be as follows: width - 100 mm; thickness - 25 mm; length - 168 cm. In total, 3 boards will be needed.
6. Using a drill in the board, make holes for "sweat".

7. The resulting holes should fully correspond to the diameter of the screw head.

8. The holes are drilled and you can begin to fix the boards on the “scarves”. First of all, we fix the board, which will be located closer to the wall. With the help of the first fixed board, the “scarves” are fixed among themselves.

9. Then you need to install a second board. We fix this board on the edge of the “scarf”. In this way, we finally fix the “scarves”.

10. Finally, you need to install a third board. We fix it in the middle. This design will allow you to securely secure the profiled sheet.

11. The base for the canopy is ready. As a covering material, you can use a professional sheet of the NS brand (bearing - wall).

12. For such a canopy design, the profiled sheet must be cut in half. To start, mark up the sheet.

13. Then cut the sheet with a grinder.

14. In order to protect the “scarves” from water falling on them, it is necessary to bend the edges of the profiled sheet. We carry out such work on both sides of the canopy.

15. Remove the protective film from the profiled sheets and fix them on a prepared basis. For convenience, we alternately place the sheets on the frame.

16. We fix the sheets together.

Ready canopy has a neat look.
