We are looking for ideas for our back entrance. Since we have a carport we enter the house through our family room door. The floors are getting ruined and with 3 kids tracking in dirty wet feet(Vancouver) we need and answer! We thought that we could build a deck with sort of a covered mudroom before entering. (Looked into building a small mudroom, but the cost was very high just to ad a few feet. )So we thought if we could get a deck out of the same price we might be able to get creative with outdoor space use.

Main problem that I am seeking help is how to incorporate a roof alongside the bay window roof to make it look ok in order to create our covered space over the door. Thoughts, design ideas or pics that you have seen would be appreciated!
