Lean to wall plate help

[K78]

I’m building a lean to and have a problem.

I intended to put the wall plate above the windows and chase the flashing into the mortar, but I haven’t got room.

Suggestions would be welcome and appreciated.

Please ignore the state of the gutters. It’s my brothers place and he has MS. I don’t think anyone has been round that side of his bungalow for a while. The space is wasted and he needs somewhere to store his wheelchairs.

Thanks.

There is no masonry above the windows, so how can you chase anything in? A lean-to structure is not suitable on that elevation, unless it's slotted in between the windows.

Surely a flat roof structure (at fascia level) would be more practical?

Take the eaves off, take the new rafters up to the existing plate, bond the same tiles in, or fit lead as a cover strip to whatever the new roof cover will be. .

If it's s typical makeshift timber and corrugated plastic/polycarbonate jobbie then fix some 6x1 to the brickwork with sufficient gap below the soffit to catch the roof sheets, skip the sections above the windows, face fix your rafters, fix a row of noggins just down from the top of the rafters where you have access to fix the sheets, put extra where the rafters are spaced wider to avoid the windows.

I wasn’t aware that there was no masonry above the windows until yesterday.

I was going to do this today but the weird windows ruined my plan.

This similar to the idea I had yesterday, but I wasn’t sure of the detail for getting around the windows.

What weird?
If looks like a typical/standard head detail.

As woody and I have said, you need to remove the fascia, the bottom couple of courses of tiles and lay your roof from the existing wall plate.

Not weird, I just remembered bricks and mortar above the window.

Threw me when I seen it.
