Roof between two sheds.

[Lewis]

If I was wanting to roof between theses two sheds , how would it be done?

One sides got a 4’6”cantilever on 15’ bays the other is uprights but 20’ bays and 15’ bays

None of the uprights are parallel with each other.

Would a cantilever take the weight of a roof without legs directly below?

Would it be a case of bolting a H beam to the cantilever edge all the way along to then bolt the roof beams too ?

Just curious.. quick diagram
Thanks

Think I'd trim the cantilever section back to the column line, bolt a new eaves beam along the line of columns and bolt the new rafters column to eaves beam.

whats the height difference between the 2?

Is it just to cover the feed passage?

Couple of options, something like this low pitch polytunnel roof:

No need to alter the cantilever or other side after that as the poles could bolt directly to it in some way.



Otherwise as HatsOff has said may be the next best option. Perhaps a mono-pitch would suit if the shed on the right is higher.

If the steels are a lot heavier in the 20ft bays I'd be tempted to put the eave beam on that shed instead though, and branch directly off the 15ft stanchions.

Fair difference In shed heights, would be roughly 4 or 5 foot between the gutter heights
