Hi Fransisca,
Could you please send a picture of this so Home talkers can see what you have to work with and give you suggestions. Thanks
I gather the brick walls are high enough to use for storage. If so, I'd build a shed roof (slanted flat roof) not a peaked roof over the walls to enclose it. You may have to build framing inside of the brick walls if you can't attach the roof any other way. Can you build a door frame and hang a door to enclose it from the weather?
This is one of those times that some Before photos and a budget would be so helpful.
