Welcome to the break free homestead youtube channel in today s video i am installing a lean to on an 8 8 x 10 shed.
How to build a lean to roof off a shed.
Also decide how the roof of the lean to will interface with the roof of the shed.
Angle the roof so rain is directed away from the building s perimeter.
And that is how we built a lean to roof for a shed plus installed a metal roof.
2 screw the add on wall to the top of 1 side of the shed.
If your region receives heavy snowfall build the roof to withstand that load.
We added the gable trim after we finished painting the whole shed this way we would not get paint on the trim.
I used standard corrugated roofing for.
One hole could not go any deeper than a foot due to large rocks and tree roots.
Make sure the block is deep enough to give the desired finished floor height.
Using 2 80lb bags of ready mix concrete for footings i dropped a few shovels full in each hole except for the shallow hole.
Start with a corner block.
Also attach on the side along the framing front.
Start with the row closest to existing shed.
Dig out the first hole set in the block and check the elevation of the floor using a 2 6.
The sloped roof of the lean to shed will allow water and snow to run off to one side of the roof without soaking into the wood.
After laying out a string on pegs in the shape of the shed i dug post holes by hand approximately 3 feet deep.
