Stunning!! How far does roof overhang the screen porch?

9 years ago

We are putting a screen porch on the front of our summerhouse, and we'd like to be able to sit out there during a rainstorm. Is your overhang enough to keep out the rain? What a beautiful house!!

The screen porch overhangs are 1'-6". If it is windy, some rain mist can make it through the screens at the edges of the porch, so you might want to make them larger if you want to keep more of that out.
