Hello everyone. I have my pellet stove vent coming straight out of the wall in my house. It's a little over 21 inches from the tip of the jet cap to the thimble. Last year I had a big chuck of ice come down and bend the vent pipe. My fault for not cleaning the roof sooner. Does anyone see a concern if I was to build a gabled awning out over the pipe? It would be at least 4 feet above the pipe itself. At 350 for a new pipe and cap I would like to prevent this from ever happening again. Thanks,
Protecting my vent pipe

We don't get heavy snow and ice here in Oregon. But if we did it would be on top of the deck above.
