A VERY HANDY STRUCTURE THAT ENHANCES THE LOOK OF YOUR BUILDING AND ADDS EXTRA FUNCTIONALITY
Since it provides shade, it can be used as a porch to sit by your building for leisure.
A lean-to can shelter firewood and lawn equipment, allowing it to stay dry in all kinds of weather.
They are an economical way to gain additional footage for a variety of uses including covered storage, shade, rooms, and stalls. Lean-tos can attach at the eave line of your main building or below it and can be located on any side.
When selecting the shape and size of your lean-to, numerous customization options are available to further enhance its appearance and functionality. You can choose to wrap your posts and/or headers for a more refined look, or install a ceiling beneath the rafters for added aesthetics and protection. Additionally, incorporating Column Y-Braces or Columns with Dutch Corners can significantly enhance the architectural appeal of your lean-to, giving it a distinctive and stylish finish.
The Slope/Pitch of the Roof. The right pitch will allow rain and snow to slide off the roof, keeping what’s inside your shed safe and dry. We recommend a 3/12 pitch minimum on a lean-to.
Header Height: Your decision on how tall the lean-to ceiling will be as well as how wide it is will impact the pitch.
Lean-To Width: We offer widths from 6′-0″ to 20′-0″ using rafters and can also build wider using roof trusses.
