Anyways, the same question still stands. 

Easiest way would be to use standing seam metal roof. 

I was thinking about installing folding, lockable bollards, but I'm not sure I like the appearance of them.

I would design it about twice as wide as the entry door, tighter to the wall, with fat square columns, and either a flat or pitched top with a standing seam roof.One of the issues is the irregular window spacing.

I'm just speaking from financial stand point.

OP stands to be foreclosed out of the property but has a right to redeem by paying what is due.  

Stand firm, do not lower the rent, remove the disposal and cross your fingers they move.

Let's face it, it's hard enough sometimes to communicate simple ideas to the person standing in front of you, let alone a complicated plan to someone over the phone.

The best way to make your home look good is by adding some of the elements in the overall design clues that will make it stand out.

Armed with that data you can be standing on a stronger footing when you view the property.
