I'm looking for ideas on how to roof an 8' wide X 16' long run to keep heavy snow/rain out. I live in New England so it would need to support a heavy snow load.
I was thinking of using those corrugated sheets of clear acrylic or something similar? I can only find them in 24" X 8 ft, so does that mean bracing the roof every 2 feet? Could I lay them flat or would they need to be slanted at an angle for run-off? How strong are they?
Aside from cutting down on my needing to shovel the area every winter, is it a big advantage to have more than just wire/netting on the run?
Would love to hear any pros and cons to putting a roof on the run, and any pics/ideas appreciated!
