Question
Adding screen porch to mobile home free floating deck. This will be at 90 degree to home. Using trusses for addition. When tying into mobile home roof do you always have to cut rafter tails off original roof overhang to make connection and have them line up with addition or is there another way?
Hi jr, not necessarily. If your porch walls are taller than your mobile walls then your new roof can go above the rafter tails. I hope this information helps feel free to write again regarding this or other matters, sincerely bruce e johnson..bejohnsonconsulting.com
