lean-to

This may be too ambitious a project but oh well... Any advice or criticisms gratefully received. I have a relatively large lean to that is effectively useless and I plan to make a functional little workshop and gym space It's a single skin brick lean to with brick walls between 1 and 1.5m high...

Hi. I have a lean to conservatory at the house I moved into in May. There have been two leaks in heavy rain since then. Nothing major but I need it fixed. There is no lead flashing and the only barrier to the elements is the grey stuff that the so called 'roofer' (previous owner) seems to have...

Hi all, I have a lean to with a corrugated plastic roof. I've been given enough concrete double roman tiles to cover the area and I feel I'm capable enough to replace the roof myself. The only thing I don't know is if the current lean-to wall will be strong enough to take the weight. It's a...

I’m in the process of building a lean-to on the back of the house and wondering if anyone has any alternative methods of securing the Eaves plate two two separate brick walls? I would normally use wall straps, but I’d sooner not see the metal work, as I’ll be keeping the walls brick. Each...

Hi everyone. I've only just joined today so please bear with me as i may post in the wrong forum. I have a question. I intended to build a sloped polly cobonate roof between my existing bathroom( which spans half of my terraced house to the rear) and next doors lean-to/conservatory (this...

Hi guys, bit of a strange one and lengthy but please stick with me. Im totally new to this but i beleive the circumstances are so unique that it isnt straight forward enough to just jump in with both feet and instead i should seek advice from far more experienced/knowledgable than I. I bought...

Hello everyone, I hope this is quite an easy question. I have recently bought a house with a wooden walled lean-to wrapping around half of one wall and extending like an L around a further wall - with the long wall abutting the garden. The whole thing is badly made and needs pulling down and...

Hi I have posted plenty of posts asking for help over the last 10 months so thought I should start the build progress thread. I started the site prep April 2018 and the actual dig and construction in July 2018. I'm still only up to first floor although this is kind of a weekends and evenings...

We have a steel-framed, lean-to extension with a Metrotile (lightweight steel framed) roof. The extension is about 3 years old. There is a damp patch above our UPVC patio doors in the extension. It's been gradually building over months and months, no obvious drip/leak as such. I've had a...

I am looking to build a roof over my patio. One side fitted to brick wall, the other to be against posts, with a poly roof. I'm told using ground brackets is best, fitting them to the paving slabs. Trying to work out how to build the roof. Is it best to build the frame first. and then raise...

Hello all, Looking for a bit of guidance. I am not technically minded in the slightest so please explain things to me like a 5yr old! We have seen a lean to wooden extension (http://www.hortons-portablebuildings.co.uk/log-cabin-details.php?cabin_id=4453-5x3m-lean-to-non-square-sun-room ) and...

We have a tiny alleyway to the side of our house (slighly less than 1m wide) that would be ideal for storing our bikes if we could keep them dry and secure. We have a wooden shiplap fence with concrete posts to one side and a flat, rendered wall to the other. There is already a wooden gate to...

Hi all, We are having plans drawn up for a ground floor extension. We are going to go with bifold doors on the family area, but are in two minds whether to go with a small glazed gable roof above above the bi-fold doors, so I was looking for a second opinion on potential costs and added value...
