Our city code here requires shade structures such as patio covers to be either attached to the house or 10 feet away if not attached. However, the guys at the city building office have told me that they will issue a permit for a free-standing (i.e self-supporting) structure adjacent to the house if it has ANY attachment at all. This is how they get around the 10 foot separation requirement.
OK, so that's what I'm going to do, but I'd like to come up with a good way to do the attachment. One guy at the city suggested a Simpson A34 or A35 connector, but I'd like to come up with something better. The connection will be between the ends of a 4x6 rafters and a frame-stucco wall. The cover will not have a band joist like you see on a deck. There are some roof joists in the wall but no band joist there. The roof joists are parallel to the patio cover rafters.
Any suggestions? I've been kicking around a couple of ideas in my head but nothing that seems really great.
