Hi,

This is covered in Marks manual that can be purchased in the BOOKS/PARTS link.

Thanks Yanita-

I have the book, it just isn't as detailed with the overhangs as it is with everything else (I am going to the overlay roof that he describes in it, but want to add overhangs before I do it). I think he considers it to be a little more difficult than some of the other worked that is discussed in the book, so he didn't go into much detail.

Hi,

Could you post your specific questions and maybe we can get some further help here.

I'm not sure mine is the same as lar3140's, but I was just curious as to how arc it to match the roof line on a MH with a domed roof. I keep looking at the pictures in the manual and it appears as though he has done it with bowed wood!! I was just curious to see if anyone else has done this, and if so, how they were able to do it.

I doubt that you could keep the arc the same as the roof with out a lot of work. I would try to incorporate a pitched overhang that in streight rather than arched. Greg

Thanks Greg. He made it look so simple in the book!

It may not be that hard to actually do, it's finding the best way to do it that takes time. Greg
