Stabilizing support for elevated structures

Abstract

Technologies and implementations for a stabilizing support structure system, which may provide vertical and lateral support for a secondary structure over an existing structure. The secondary structure may be a secondary roof, which may be elevated over an existing roof. The secondary structure may be a porch, which may be elevated over an existing roof.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A stabilizing support structure system comprising:
 a support beam, the support beam configured to be attached between two support structures; and   a riser attached to the support beam, the riser configured to vertically support a secondary structure, the secondary structure being at least one of an elevated porch or an elevated roof over an existing roof.   
     
     
         2 . The stabilizing support structure system of  claim 1 , wherein support structures comprise of two joists, the two joists configured to support the existing roof. 
     
     
         3 . The stabilizing support structure system of  claim 1 , wherein the support beam is made of wood. 
     
     
         4 . The stabilizing support structure system of  claim 1 , wherein the riser is made of metal. 
     
     
         5 . The stabilizing support structure system of  claim 1  further comprising a stabilizing support collar. 
     
     
         6 . The stabilizing support structure system of  claim 1  further comprising a flashing, the flashing configured to cover a hole configured to pass through a base of the riser. 
     
     
         7 . A structural support apparatus comprising:
 a substantially vertical member;   a first bracket coupled to a first end of the substantial vertical member, the first bracket configured to support a first support structure;   a base coupled to a second end of the substantial vertical member; and   a second bracket located along the substantial vertical member, the first bracket configured to support a second support structure.   
     
     
         8 . The structural support apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the substantially vertical member comprises a riser, the riser configured to structurally support at least one of an elevated porch or a secondary roof. 
     
     
         9 . The structural support apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the first support structure comprises cross beam. 
     
     
         10 . The structural support apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the second support structure comprises a lateral support beam. 
     
     
         11 . structural support apparatus of  claim 7  further comprising a base, the base configured to penetrate a hole in an existing roof.
