I will be building a 6ft wide 12ft long roof extension to my daughter's concrete block storage shed next week. She currently keeps her lawn tractor inside along with some other items (grill, lawn wagon etc) but wants to move them to a roofed cover and use her shed for household storage. I have it designed and am ready for everything - but attaching the roofing support to the back side of the concrete block building. (BTW, the shed has a below ground storm cellar, that is why it was made of concrete blocks.)
For attachment of the roof to the building, I will have a 12ft long pressure treated 2x4. I plan on using liquid nails but I know that I need to also anchor it with bolts somehow. What kind of screws can be used on concrete blocks without damaging the blocks. DO I need to drill and add anchors?
To the 12ft board, I will attach 2x4 rafters 6ft long (pressure treated) at 16 inch intervals and Ondura 4-ft x 6.58-ft Corrugated Asphalt Roof Panels for the roof. Not too heavy. The outward side of the roof will have 5 4x4 posts for support.
Your help an suggestions are appreciated.
