I'm rebuilding my carport which collapsed under the snow last winter.
The construction is, basically, a horizontal wall plate on which the rafters sit. The rafters extend perpendicular to the wall to a line of posts approx. 3.5m from the wall and then there is a series of cross braces and the whole thing is roofed with corrugated plastic.
The wall plate extends into free space to allow the carport to overhang the garage behind the house by about 1.5m.
What's the best method of fixing the wall plate to the brick wall? The bricks are white and don't take kindly to having holes drilled in them.
On previous constructions such as this I've used Rawlbolts (many years ago) but my brother-in-law was very sniffy when I suggested them and said that he uses glued fixings - he's a builder.
TIA
