A wooden lean-to is a structure attached to a wall, featuring a single-sloped roof, designed to serve as a shelter or additional storage space.
Made of wood, it naturally blends into the outdoor environment and can be used as a garden shelter, garage, or storage area.

Wooden lean-tos offer several advantages:

  • Natural aesthetics: Wood blends beautifully with gardens and outdoor spaces.
  • Thermal insulation: Wood is naturally insulating, protecting the contents of the lean-to from temperature variations.
  • Eco-friendly: Wood is a renewable and sustainable material, perfectly suited for outdoor constructions.
  • Modularity: Easy to customize, a wooden lean-to can be tailored in terms of size, style, and interior layout.

The most commonly used types of wood for lean-tos are:

Pressure-treated pine: Resistant to insects and moisture, it is economical and durable.

Douglas fir: Naturally weather-resistant, making it ideal for outdoor use.

Oak: Strong and visually appealing, it offers excellent longevity, although it is more expensive.

Regulations vary depending on the size:

  • Less than 20 m²: A prior declaration of work is often sufficient.
  • More than 20 m²: A building permit is required.

Rules may vary depending on the municipality; it is recommended to check with the town hall to confirm the necessary steps.
