Looking for advice, I am adding a leanto on back of garage. Garage is 24 by 36 with a 4-12 pitch roof. I want to add a 16 foot open ( for now) leanto on the back. Using metal on roof because of a low pitch 2-12. (not much height) Question is does 2 by 8 on 24 inch centers sound like enough or 2 by 10? I need to mention that the posts will be aprox 4 feet in from the open end= 12 foot span with 4 ft overhang. I live in Northern Indiana so some snow load. Thanks for your advice, JR

JR. Good inexpensive way to add space. Being in Northern Indy. you probably have to consider the heavy wet snow you get occasionaly. I would tend to over build the roof a little to account for the heavy wet snow. Also if your roof is going to be realtively flat,consider some other kind of roofing material. In the snow country, its not common to use steel on a relatively flat roof. You probably get some ice buildup on the overhangs down your way and that will tend to back up any water behind it and it will find the seams and leak.You may want to consider asking a couple roofing suppliers or contractors some questions.Also,if your thinking about enclosing it in the future and your garage has footings, you may want to consider footings or at minimum concrete footings for each of your supports, to the depth of the garage footings. Hope this helps. Ron

I think I'd go with 2x8's on 16" centers with 1x4's on top on 24" centers for the sheet iron.

I done a search for rafter loads, and it looks like the 2"x10" #1 grade lumber would be exceptable. I don"t think I"d go with anything less, might even go with 2"x12" on 2" centers. Too many calculations for snow loads, wet, dry, 7 day load period, pitch. Dang already got my head hurting :>)

Board foot price jumps when you buy 2x10 lumber,Take a look at the rafters in your present garage.I bet you will find 2x6.Just stay with 16 inch centers.I would board up solid.

According to my span table 2x8 Roof Rafters will span 15ft-4 at 16 on center with less than 4 in 12 slope. But this table might be based on central Virginia snow loads which ain't much. Im getting ready to do the same thing myself this spring.
