To comply with code requirements in some select areas, all of our Leanto Barns are now built with 4×4 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 6×6 p.t. posts and double 2×10 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 2×8 SPF in order to comply with codes (extra fee will apply).
- You may choose to place overhang 6×6 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.
