    Screened in porch question
    I am extending an overhang about five more feet in order to have a screened in porch. You can see below what I have done so far. Will put 2x4's around the perimeter with a treated 2x4 at the bottom. Any suggestions? The double 2x8's you see below the overhang will come down once I have it supported. Will only be about seven feet up at the low point but in order to maintain the slope it just is what it is.
