Good morning everyone.
I own a prefabricated concrete garage from a well-known manufacturer.
There is a garage door on each side. In front, of course, is the paved driveway.
At the back of the garage, there is a second terrace, also paved and compacted, measuring 3 meters (10 feet) wide by 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) deep. Beyond the terrace, the lawn begins. That’s the initial situation. A wooden roof similar to a carport is planned there. I would like to install only two H-anchors and embed them in a foundation at the edge of the terrace where the lawn starts. The front part of the roof, the part that begins at the garage, I would like to attach directly to the garage—either by mounting the wooden beams straight onto the garage or by fixing a wooden beam to the front of the garage and then attaching the beams that extend toward the H-anchors to this mounted beam.
Is there any reason this would not work?
I can also share a picture if that would help clarify the situation.

Quick update for those interested.
I underestimated the complexity. Getting suitable timber quickly from a hardware store is not an option. I thought a beam measuring 3000mm x 120mm x 120mm (10 feet x 5 inches x 5 inches) was standard, but it has to be specially ordered everywhere. The wait time is 2-3 weeks. One beam costs roughly 50-60€ and is wood intended for visible use, made from several glued layers with all four sides smoothly sanded.
I’m now leaning towards ordering a kit that can be customized according to my preferences, including dimensions, materials, roofing (here, multiwall sheets), and so on.
