- In the images is shown a 13 ft. long x 12 ft deep Lean-To structure mounted on a concrete pad.
You have the option to mount this on a concrete pad or existing deck, or bury the posts in the ground (eventhough we don’t like burying posts).
This Lean To structure can be used as a carport, garage, a shed, a deck cover, a patio cover, a greenhouse, or for any other purpose.
Lengths of Lean To (left to right) can range from 8 ft. to 16 ft., including the 6″ roof overhang on each side.
Depth of Lean To (front to back) can be up to 24 feet if using 2×10 rafters placed 16″ O.C.
You can add solid walls on all sides to enclose as weather proof garage, shed, etc. See images of this lean-to with solid walls in this listing.
Uses four posts to hold roof loads.
Eliminates the need to bolt on a header to the building wall.
Two horizontal cross tie 4x4s tie the two wall together for extra lateral strength.
4×4 Corner Gussets add full sway resistance.
This Lean To can be built on concrete footings, concrete slab, or wood deck (wood decks require additional supports under the posts).
The posts can also be buried into the ground and concrete poured around the posts. However, we do not recommend this method since the posts in the ground will eventually rot.
Instead, pour concrete into the post hole first, then use our post anchor bracket to attach posts to the top of the concrete footings. This will yield a permanent structure with no worries about rotting posts.
Uses double 2×8 or 2×10 sandwiched headers with 1/2″ OSB/Plywood filler for a super-strong and wide span cability.
14 ft. maximum open span between the 4×4 posts if using 2×8 sandwiched headers is allowed.
16 ft. maximum open span between the 4×4 posts if using 2×10 sandwiched headers is allowed.
Roof Pitch is infinitely variable by using longer posts on one end.
Rafters required 16″ on center for proper load bearing and to provide easy roof deck osb/plywood addition.
Open span between the two walls is limited to code approved spans based on 2×8 or 2×10 rafter size.
Notched 2×8 or 2×10 double headers design allows roof to overhang past left and right ends.
Rafters allow roof to overhang past each wall end.
This Lean To structure can be used as a garage, a shed, a deck cover, a patio cover, a greenhouse or any other purpose.
Standing seam metal roofing panels available at Home Depot, Lowes, and Menards are comparable in price to regular grade shingles.
For these lean to roof structures, metal roofing panels are easier and faster to install.
Uses 2×8, or 2×10 lumber for headers and rafters.
Uses 4x4s for posts, cross-tie members, and corner gussets.
Shingle and polycarbonate roof options approved for roof pitches 1-12 to 3-12. For roof pitch greater than 3-12, shingles, polycarbonate, and metal standing seam-type are approved. Metal standing seam panels cannot be installed for pitches less than 3-12 per the panel manufacturers limitations.
