To comply with code requirements in some select areas, all of our Leanto
Barns are now built with 4x4 Yellow Pine posts.
12' wide lean-to barn before overhang is attached. Lean-to overhang
must be assembled on site. Overhang comes partially pre-built with
gables already built.
View from underneath the lean-to. We use 6x6 p.t. posts and double 2x10 header
to support overhang. This barn
was built with optional metal roofing.
Lean-to Barn Construction Information:
- It is strongly recommended to place lean-to barns on top of concrete
foundation (concrete pillars).
- With every lean-to barn order, we email free PDF plans. Plans we
supply are floor plan, gable detail and foundation layout (plans are not
sealed).
- On all lean-to barns, front wall is made taller to accommodate overhang
and create more clearance under overhang header.
- Regular shedrows or run-in sheds are not designed for future lean-to
addition due to front wall not being tall enough on standard barns and
sheds.
- Depending on your local ground snow load, we might need to upgrade
rafters to 2x8 SPF in order to comply with codes (extra fee will apply).
- You may choose to place overhang 6x6 p.t. posts in the ground or on
top of concrete pillars (in ground placement is less expensive).
- You must specify if you are planning to put overhang posts in ground
or on foundation, so we can send you the right length posts.
