I did it by myself !!!
I’m a 62 year old widow and I followed your instructions and materials exactly. My late husband had most everything needed in his shop, even the concrete. Thank you so much for your video. I am also using mine for firewood storage since I have had to learn how to cut my own for my only source of heat.
That's awesome to hear, about you building not about your husband, so terribly sorry to hear your loss. My wife and I are 31 and 33 respectively and we're just coming to the time in our life where we're giving thought to the later years, you know how it is in your 20's lol it's like 30 is never going to come and you're never going to get old..... But I cried thinking of the hypothetical situation if something were to happen to me at work what would she have to do if I were gone and it were only her and our three children, I pray she has your strength and willpower to keep accomplishing things. Sending my very best to you ma'am 🙏
That is awesome!
Robin I was thinking a wood shed would be the perfect application for this and my intentions as well. God bless and thanks for sharing.
Good for you.
Congrats Robin! Good job!
Wife’s gonna build this for me thanks for the ideas!
Honestly, this is exactly what I needed to see for our remote cabin. Thanks my patriot friends.
Good job!! just a suggestion, you can knotch out the top of the 4x4 post so that the 2x6 directs load to post rather that screws. makes for a stronger build.
Good suggestion!
Wouldn't even worry about that with something like this. That roof you could pretty much lift off single handedly. Majority of pergola's you see are held together with coach bolts so yeah, same concept
Love your little helper! Everybody should have one of those! Mine are all grown up, so all i get now is a bunch of feral cats that i feed daily showing me how much they love me by being into everything i do outside! Great work, by the way! Thank you for sharing.
Nice demonstration, thanks! I’m no pro either, just a retired guy, and I could definitely reproduce this project on my barn now that I’ve seen you do it. Hmm, I could use some extra storage too…
Awesome build..... This is exactly what I want to do on the side of my barn. Thanks for the info!
Seems pretty straight forward...then again, I'm a 59 year old woman who is trying to learn how to do things myself from watching videos. They all seem fairly simple.
My first attempt at building something was a decorative fence, using wire cages, and rocks to hold the 4x4 posts. No matter how many times I measured anything to do with the project, I never seemed to be able to get it right (fortunately came up with a way to hide all of those bad cuts😏).
It's always way harder than I think. Just have to keep practicing, on things that are decorative in nature, until I get better at this building thing.
It seems that finding a good, honest handyman to help me is just as hard as trying to do it myself.
Thanks for the great video!
❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
Thrilled to see your post. I'm a 65 year old farm lady. This video helped a lot, but I hate the "hey guys..." part. Have you seen April Wilkerson videos. She's an inspiration!!
Wow! I’d love to that . Can you show me your project ? Please
You are not alone Laurie.
Im Proud of all of you the only way humans learn is making mistakes. Its impossible to learn with no mistakes. Keep doing what you love and Please have a Happy Life 🙏🙏👍🏼👍🏼🤝🏼
Outstanding ❤❤❤
Using existing tools and materials to get the job done is what i was looking for. Useful no spending $, thanks for a raw video!
I’m a 66 yr old woman who needs to build a lean to so this was a good video for me. I can do this. Thanks
Just turned 69 and I'm going to do the same on the back of my house
Same my adult kid has no interest or skill & i want a simple way to build a awning or lean too roof over north door & have a old freezer out in elements
I want it dry about 4 feet out away from house & maybe put west end 4 ft wall to cut that north west wind & snow a bit.
My house is 140 years old small 1 story prairie house. Have been looking for a simple way to get my roof extended that I could manage. Ive you tube surfed for 3 years trying to find something like this. Im not living in it just want the rain/snow off & get that mess away from house where we walk in. & maybe hang a couple flower baskets in summer.
I'm so tickled.
Excellent Job ! The Narration, Time Lapse and Descriptions were spot on !
This project wouldn't have been possible without the good helper you had. Kudos to your little helper!
I think it came out so good because you had such a good helper.😊
I’m building a shed and haven’t decided what to do about adding a porch to it. You gave me some ideas I hadn’t thought of. Great video.
Thanks
For a non professional carpenter. Its a good job , well done bro. Got my respect man 😎🙏
Thank you! Getting ready to do this on the side of my shop. Very helpful!
Perfect video to explain how to build a lean to on a metal building, which is exactly what I needed, no extra steps, no frills just the lean on, love it!
I just wanted to drop a "Thank you" for the video. My wife wanted to build a lean to off of our unused shed so we can turn it into a chicken coop. I probably spent more time fumbling through the unkept isles of Lowes than I did actually building the lean to. The only thing I messed up was I went overboard on the purlins. But now that I've got one lean to complete, it's time to do a bigger one now. 😁😁 Thanks for the simple but concise instructions.
Good job. It looks great! My only suggestion would be to put some concrete in the bottom of the post hole before you put the posts in. When you put the post in the hole first, then surround it in concrete you leave the bottom of the post exposed to the dirt. It will slowly rot from the bottom up over the years. The wood acts like a straw and will suck water up into it from the dirt that it contacts.
Yeah, but then you have a concrete cup the post is sitting in. Best to put some coarse gravel down there to allow drainage while still creating a barrier from the soil

So does the ledger board just attach straight in tge sheet metal?
@@dylanheflin3666 through the metal preferably fastened into every stud you can possibly fasten to
Love your little helper!
Great video keep them coming., simple and straightforward. I need to do this over my 12x10 deck.
nice video for a simple lean to project. i would recommend at the top edge of the roof where the black metal meets the metal building putting a large bead of exterior silicone, caulk, or even roofing tar to seal out that joint. Stormwater will find its way into that open joint against the building and over time saturate and deteriorate the ledger board. Water can find its way into the shed through the screw holes too.
thank you for saying that. I was watching this and wondering if caulk was needed. Now I know! :)
@@awildapproach welcome! my recommendation would be the tube of roofing cement, once it fully cures it is rubber-like and should hold up better over time than standard caulk or silicone.
@@slo232000 Thank you so much! Will do!
Should have went to a seam in the metal siding and flashed the roof would’ve been the most correct way
I made on of those over a concrete slab, After finishing it just like you did I added half inch insulation under and a metal trim around the roof. Thanks for sharing,
Excellent Video. As a fellow DIYer, I found the video imaging remarkably clear and the instructions were well-explained. As a father, my favorite part was when your son was helping you.
The EXACT information I needed for a project!
Looks like you had a good helper.
Best simple video ever. Thank you!
Thanks for another great DIY how to
Great video - clear instructions during construction - very helpful. Thank you..
Looks like you got a little helper 😉
Great video! Looking through videos for a simple lean to and everyone had to go full on build mode. Glad you have an easy solid option for some storage space. Wonder if you could add metal siding to the sides too make it a little more weather proof from the elements.
I was wondering the same thing. This looks like a good solid structure to put some siding on.
Just add boards and siding. Easy upgrade.
Excellent video 📹 for my project to shelter my water well carbon filter tanks and water softener equipment...thanks for sharing 👍
EXACTLY what I needed, done in a personable and concise fashion. Many thanks you are a natural teacher and I send you and yours my best.
Thanks!
This is EXACTLY what I had in my mind, THANK YOU so much!!
exactly how my dad told me to do it. I'm going to make it a lean to greenhouse. Well really a covered raised garden bed to keep the squirrels out. thanks for the video
Great video. You have inspired and helped me plan the exact same lean-to.
Super nice job. I'm building a shelter for my hot tub. I live in Canada and we get shit tons of snow so I decided to build a lean to to get the snow off easily. This video has helped me simplify my plans alot. Thank you for posting.
Are you going to build to a snow load spec? I am moving to an area that gets a ton of snow. Curious what tour thoughts are and how to build to a snow load spec
Very helpful video for the diy folks.
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Yep. Great video. Thanks
Excellent job.
I cemented 4 x 4 posts into the ground when putting in a fence around my home in Florida and after about 30 years the posts began rotting out where the cement was. I replaced the rotted out posts with new 4 x 4's but instead of cement put in crushed limestone to allow the water to seep past the wood. I think this might be better than cement but 30 years is still great. Thanks for the post
One solution to prevent the post from rotting is to first start with pressure-treated wood. Then coat the part of the post that will be below ground with a good heavy coat of black fence post paint. I like to use two coats. Now put that on top of a 4 -6 inch layer of compacted crushed stone in the bottom of the hole then pour the concrete around that.
That's about as close to a forever post as you can get. If you cut your posts in the process of the build, especially the tops of the post, it's a good idea to coat those cuts with some form of sealant since you removed the PT chemicals when you made a cut. Happy fencing!!
Appreciate the tips, small world, nice meeting you this morning lol
Great little helper. 👍
Good for you! You make it look easy!
Good job looking good and thank you for sharing enjoyed it
Found the original video. Ty now tomorrow I have a game plan. Ty. New sub
Nice work. Thanks!
Thank you! Just exactly what I needed to know.
Great vid! Thanks for posting.
Really like how you used the 2x4s to help hold the first 2x6 up.
I have always poured a pier first then used a bracket for the 4x4 thus keeping the 4x4 from earth contact. Has lasted over 30 years that way thus far. Just a thought. Great job, now I need one!
treated wood rots at the soil line. well worth the effort to use your method.
Great lessons. Thanks from TN.
Thanks man Best I've found
Those joist hangers have tabs on them that you're meant to hit with a hammer after placing it where you want. Just holds it in place until you can get some screws in it.
You can use screws for joist hangers...screws are not structural.
@@boris9305😂 You know they sell screw on joist hangers, right?
@@boris9305structural screws are most definitely structural....
This is exactly what I needed😊
Turned out good!
Excellent video, I'll try to make it this weekend, I need it for my future mower, thanks for sharing your skills
Nicely done sir!
I'm going to be building one on the back of my house. 6 wide by 8 deep just big enough to completely cover my zero turn. I also plan on putting side on the lean to to help keep rain and sun off the machine.
Great job!
I’m thinking this would be a great way to roof a small portion of my deck! The metal is perfect!!
Heck yeah. Great information sharing. Ive been needing to build a lean to for my lawnmowers and ysrd equipment.. But Ive been putting it off . I'll be building one of these this weekend. Awww jo .
Great video. Exactly looking to do the same at our farm. What is the pitch of your roof and the height of the 2x6 you attached to your building?
Looks great!
Could you please ad a list of the materials to build this? I googled a diy 10x10 lean to and your video popped up. Excellent!
Do you have a list of all the supplies you used? Thanks for the video.
Excellent Bill outstanding
Hey great 👍 only thing I would recommend is through Bolts @ your carry Beam...good deal
Excellent video
Looks great
Great Work does the job thank you very much
REALLLLLLLLLLLLY NICE
Me encanto como pone a su morro a ayudarle. Y El Niño , feliz de la vida. 🤙🏽.
Nice and simple
Clamps and tape are the lone DIYers best helpers. 👍👍🇺🇸
Nice work
Nice one. Thanks!
Nice Job!
Thank you for being such a brave patriot.
very nice build !
Looking for a way to build a lean on my shed. This is by far the simplest way...I'll probably use I'll use Concrete Blocks for my posts....Thank you..
Great job
Great 👍 it was so helpful my turn out almost the same
This is so perfect. Your lean-to is exactly the lean-to that I need for the side of our garage, and I'm using your design exactly. And mine is also for firewood, so that's double awesome. Thank you.
Same here lol I was worried about attaching to vinyl siding. Also concerned about what gets stuck on top of the attachment. Does the roofing get flashing?
@@Robiobass2 well, I'm attaching to a wooden structure with an eve that hangs over about 10", so I'm good on those points.
@@carlrudd1858 how wide are you going? I have about 3 rows deep in firewood. I'm thinking 6 ft also
@@Robiobass2 not sure yet. I made it 12' long, and 5' deep. The low part of the roof is about 6 1/2' (a moderate pitch) up to about 8' at the side of the garage.
I am going with j channel on top of my 2x6 for the roofing metal to slide into. I'll use clear silicone to seal out the elements between the two vinyls. That should be good enough to keep the debris out. Mine is under a huge pine tree and needles get everywhere.
[thank, you for you're helpful video]👍
I've done a few of these and I prefer tohave the posts 'float' about two inches off of the ground using 'Allthread', washers and nuts (washer / nut / nut / washer). These are inserted upwards into drilled holes aand downwards into the concrete pads. These allow for fine tuning by turning the nuts.
Just come across your channel I’m from UK, great stuff really enjoyed how u work, I’m a diy’er good to get ideas from others subscribed
Good job
Great job and the good way to explain 👍🙏🇩🇰
Thank you
Great job...
Thank you,
The only thing holding up the roof are the screws in the 2X6 going into the 4X4. You should have notched the 4X4 to have the 2X6 sit on the 4X4. If you have any snow load, that roof will fail. If you are planning on building something like this with snow, you need better support for the 2X6 besides construction screws into a 4X4.
I agree with you 100%. I'm currently in the process of doing something similar 10x12 that's the only thing that came to my attention Cheerios mate
Dead right if it were wider! That will take far more weight than one would imagine! I did something very similar it did 20 winters for me and didn't complain once! Technically you are correct of course in your build spec! :^)
Simple fix use through BOLTS...@ the posts Done deal for that little roof 😎
I'm a carpenter by trade but I am not a builder and do not do things like this on a daily basis..... If I sound dumb that's why..... But when I saw him cut the top of the post off I was curious why he did not leave them there and just screw his end raftors into that...... I haven't made it beyond that in the video so he probably answers it..... I just thought why not add the extra couple screws it would help hold things together better.... If there is a clear and obvious thing that I'm missing well that's what I get for butting my nose in lol
Correct - if you live in a winter snow zone (I'm in Canada), you must account for the framework to bear a load of: 40 psf (for live load) + 10 psf (for dead load) = 50 psf x 60 sq.ft. (12'x5'slanted roof) on the load bearing structure. Which comes to 3,000 lbs. of total load bearing down on only 3 4x4 posts & shallow-depth cement piers. It will crack & bow at the very least. I would recommend using 2 corner 6x6 pressure treated wood posts NOT buried in the ground (they will rot at the base over time), but set on top of a Simpson Strong-Tie 1" metal standoff base anchored on top of a 12" wide cement pier set to 48"-52" depth. The reason I know these facts is because I was just inspecting a 35+ year old "DIY homemade" lean to used as a car port, built in the exact same way. The exposed structure has been completely deteriorated by weather & moisture overtime.
I wish all the specialists on here that comment wld make a video of how they do it!🤔 great job and thanks for your time!❤️❤️
The jc! Great video!
Very 👍 nice
With all the work involved I would have made it longer and deeper! Doesn’t seem like it’ll protect much !
Nice job on the built tho!
What wood to metal screws did you use to attach the 2x6 to the building? I about to build a lean very similar to this and was gonna drill holes all the way through my metal building legs and bolt the 2x6 in place. The wood to metal screws would be quicker and easier. How are they holding up?
LOOK'S GOOD
@PatriotDIY
what did you use to seal the bottom of building at concrete? My oad is a little larger than building just like yours and i wanna stop the water from getting in. I seen in other vid that u caulked the inside, but how did u do the outside? Looks like flashing tape but cant tell. I didnt see a vid on this anywhere... thx!!!
