Roofing the area between(almost) my boundary and the garage. The space is 1m at the rear opening up to 2.5m at the front.

The wall on the left is fixed at 1.9m and the garage wall on the right is fixed at 2.5m .

My only real idea so far is to make a false ridge at c. 1m to carry the original roof angle profile and take my roof along as high as I can off the garage....

All this is being done in box profile sheeting .

Any other thoughts on how to do this ?

Sorry I am probably missing something but why the false ridge? Why not a lean-to from garage to wall. I get that it's tapered but assuming the roof falls to the wall it will just mean the roof joins the wall at a slope which will help with drainage / guttering that you will create

I am imagining a gutter like this.

Yours would be at a stealer angle obviously.

As I said I am probably misunderstanding..

Was farting about with timber earlier trying to take lines off what's existing and tie it into the front timber.

It showed the original plan didnt't work

How ever on reflection I was using the wrong reference point and after writing this I tried it staying parallel to the garage and it ties in nicely.

As you say the convergence doesn't matter. Just have to start in the right place and work back even if your "angles" fixed you can't just carry it across and arbitrarily throw up a beam at that angle 🙂
