On this episode of
Weekend Handyman, host Paul Ryan gives an ordinary entry way a totally new look with a decorative and practical portico. He shows you how to tie-in to your house frame and build the base to the portico roof. Then he cuts the rafters and ridge board, sheets and shingles the roof and secures the portico with pre-cast columns. Finally, Ryan will show you a great alternative to wood for decking and exterior trim -- composite wood.
