Oooh. Then nope, it won't work, it's a shingle roof. We suspect that the wood frame is rotting, or something. I don't know much about roofs, but I'm pretty sure it'll have to be totally replaced. Luckily, the porch is not actually a part of the house roof, so the integrity of the house roof structure shouldn't be compromised. We have no leaks, so...!

Thanks for the insight though.
