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.
How to build a lean to roof off a shed.
Start with a corner block.
2 screw the add on wall to the top of 1 side of the shed.
Also decide how the roof of the lean to will interface with the roof of the shed.
Start with the row closest to existing shed.
Using 2 80lb bags of ready mix concrete for footings i dropped a few shovels full in each hole except for the shallow hole.
If your region receives heavy snowfall build the roof to withstand that load.
I used standard corrugated roofing for.
Angle the roof so rain is directed away from the building s perimeter.
Dig out the first hole set in the block and check the elevation of the floor using a 2 6.
Make sure the block is deep enough to give the desired finished floor height.
Also attach on the side along the framing front.
One hole could not go any deeper than a foot due to large rocks and tree roots.
Then place the gable trim and attach using the 1 5 screws.
