Hey, I see you're with me. Guess what we're going to do today? We're going to do an inexpensive awning, and we're going to do it out of metal roofing. Now we've got the material right here. It's a dark green to kind of match the green that's here on the bottom. You can put it up high above the door on top of that wood.

And we're going to prop it up so that the wind doesn't get against this door as much. It's caused deterioration on the bottom of the door so that they put that on the bottom and it's still leaking can over the top they can put. We may still yet put a little sweep on the bottom of the door. They've had a lot of issue with water running and in the process they worry about the floor.

But we're cutting down on a lot of that, and we're going to also cut down... What I use these type of inexpensive awnings for us to keep sun off of the windows. Now, you don't want to be too high up because then the wind will catch it and blow it over. You don't want to be too low, then you're not going to be able to see out of your window.

So there's a happy medium in there, but just a little bit of an angle, knocks off a lot of sun, particularly in the afternoon where you would be putting this awning. It also keeps the water from getting in the bottom of the window or the bottom of the door. Cuts down a lot on that. Driving rain, of course, is going to get in there.

And so this is just a way to do without expending a whole lot of money. And I'll show you how we do that. We're going to use this metal from one corner to the other on this one, for this when we measure for the door we do right here, and here, then put it up there.

In this case, we have to be conscious of the fact that of what the screen door might hit. So you'll have to keep that in mind if you do it on the door. Here we go.

So what I've done is this is basically 37 and a half inches from here to here, but I don't want to have this support being too close.

So I want it to be a little shorter, so I made it 35. That way, it gives the room to bend at the side. Then, let me have one of the screws, one of those screws. All right. Again, we're using those screws you can use other kinds, but this is actually the screws that match. I made the lines in the center of this is. It's where I wanted it to be.

You can move it to different locations. In this case, I'm putting the screws about every foot. I missed that one. We're going to do that on both ends, and then we're going to take it up and fasten it.

All right. So what we've done is run screws through the rib right here into the one by four about every two feet or more or less. More is not going to be worse.

And then we're going to seal this up here so water doesn't stay in there and leak behind, which is what you want to do to whatever you fastened to seal behind and around on the edge of that metal. So it doesn't leak there.

Okay, these are balusters. You don't have to use this material. This is something that it's lightweight, not very invasive to look at. But if you choose to, do we get 60 miles an hour winds? The trick is not to be, what is the words? Too high as to catch wind and too low as to block your door. So if you get high, it catches wind, pulls it off, gives a lot of stress, and you have to determine what you can do to keep it lower.

So as the wind will blow on top, push it down anyway, these are inch and half by inch and a half by 42 inches long. Use them for porches and such. And I'm going to cut a 45 with this battery powered. All right, and then I'm going to use three-inch screws with a screw gun.

And it's going to go. Right in to where this rib is. You want to turn that angle where it will fall out on, on the building. Stand back and take a look at it. Looks like I need to go up a little bit. There you go.
