We built this new covered porch on this cottage to allow access from the front of the cottage to the back deck overlooking Townsend Lake.  The foundation piers were created using BF20 Bigfoots with 10" quick-tubes installed 4'-0" below grade to ensure adequate frost protection.

The piers were filled with cement and 2 pieces of 15mm rebar to make strong supports as well as carport saddles were installed to anchor the new structure to the base.

All of the roof framing stayed exposed so the rafters and strapping were all rounded over and a coat of Sikkens Stain was used to weather proof it prior to installing.

We installed 2"x4" rails with a 2"x6" handrail which received a nice big round over to create the railings for the porch.  The homeowner has plans for his own spindles and is looking after that himself.
