In this project, we installed an attached metal porch to a warehouse in Torre-serona, creating a covered and protected outdoor area next to the building.
The goal was simple and practical: to make use of the existing side passageway, protect it from the sun and rain, and make better use of an area that had previously been completely exposed.
An outdoor deck to make the most of the space
The porch was placed alongside the warehouse facade, creating a longitudinal covered space that improves the daily use of the outdoor area.
This type of solution is very useful in warehouses, workshops, storage facilities, or industrial buildings, as it allows you to create a passageway, loading area, waiting area, or protected space without having to modify the main building.
The images show a clean and straightforward solution: steel structure, exterior posts, facade attachment, and corrugated metal sheeting roof.
Metal frame and corrugated roof
The solution is achieved with a lightweight steel structure, supported on posts and attached to the building through lateral connections. A corrugated metal sheeting roof is installed on this base, suitable for water drainage and protecting the area below.
Careful attention has also been paid to the junctions with the facade through the use of trim and fitting pieces. These details are important for preventing leaks and ensuring a proper connection between the new roof and the existing building.
Protection, shade, and functionality
The result is a simple, sturdy, and highly practical porch.
The new cover offers:
Protection from the sun and rain, enhancing the use of the outdoor area.
Greater functionality by converting a side passageway into a covered space.
Quick installation, with a steel structure adapted to the existing building.
A clean finish, thanks to the roof trim and its integration with the facade.
A simple solution that improves the building
Not all projects need to be major works to add value. In this case, the porch clearly improves the building’s daily operation, creating a much more useful and protected outdoor area.
The project demonstrates how a well-designed metal roof can transform an unused space into a practical area for work, passage, or temporary storage.
Conclusion
The metal porch installed in Torre-serona is a functional, quick, and effective solution to improve the outdoor use of a warehouse.
With a lightweight steel structure, corrugated roof, and proper finishes, a protected space is achieved, integrated with the building and ready to withstand daily use.
