Tomorrow im going to be building an awning over a shooting range to protect the shooters from the sun and rain. Im looking for photos since i lack in imagination. Im planning on concrete bedding 4x4 posts and then building a 2x6 roof support structure thats covered with corrugated sheet metal roofing. Please link or post photos so i can have some design inspiration. Should have a nice ring to it!

J/K Its going to be a private range but it will be used almost exclusively by cops amd although cops suck with accuracy, we're USUALLY KINDA good with safe forearms handling. Anyhow, like i said, i cant find anything on google images of a free standing wooden structure with a metal roof. |

Here's one at the NRA Whittington Center ... note the "observer"
Also note the guy set up and shooting, down the line to the right. 
Let's zoom in a little ... 
Not much help, but I couldn't resist. |

Be sure to angle the roof downrange to simulate SEAL Waterfall Sniping like a WMR range I shot at once in the rain.

Personally I would go with one of the single slope designs that were posted above. So the water will run off the back not so much for when you are shooting but so it won't make a mess in front of the shelter if you don't put gutter on it. YMMV
