I did it by myself !!! I’m a 62 year old widow and I followed your instructions and materials exactly. My late husband had most everything needed in his shop, even the concrete. Thank you so much for your video. I am also using mine for firewood storage since I have had to learn how to cut my own for my only source of heat.

That's awesome to hear, about you building not about your husband, so terribly sorry to hear your loss. My wife and I are 31 and 33 respectively and we're just coming to the time in our life where we're giving thought to the later years, you know how it is in your 20's lol it's like 30 is never going to come and you're never going to get old..... But I cried thinking of the hypothetical situation if something were to happen to me at work what would she have to do if I were gone and it were only her and our three children, I pray she has your strength and willpower to keep accomplishing things. Sending my very best to you ma'am 🙏

Seems pretty straight forward...then again, I'm a 59 year old woman who is trying to learn how to do things myself from watching videos. They all seem fairly simple. My first attempt at building something was a decorative fence, using wire cages, and rocks to hold the 4x4 posts. No matter how many times I measured anything to do with the project, I never seemed to be able to get it right (fortunately came up with a way to hide all of those bad cuts😏). It's always way harder than I think. Just have to keep practicing, on things that are decorative in nature, until I get better at this building thing. It seems that finding a good, honest handyman to help me is just as hard as trying to do it myself. Thanks for the great video! ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎

Same my adult kid has no interest or skill & i want a simple way to build a awning or lean too roof over north door & have a old freezer out in elements I want it dry about 4 feet out away from house & maybe put west end 4 ft wall to cut that north west wind & snow a bit. My house is 140 years old small 1 story prairie house. Have been looking for a simple way to get my roof extended that I could manage. Ive you tube surfed for 3 years trying to find something like this. Im not living in it just want the rain/snow off & get that mess away from house where we walk in. & maybe hang a couple flower baskets in summer. I'm so tickled.

I just wanted to drop a "Thank you" for the video. My wife wanted to build a lean to off of our unused shed so we can turn it into a chicken coop. I probably spent more time fumbling through the unkept isles of Lowes than I did actually building the lean to. The only thing I messed up was I went overboard on the purlins. But now that I've got one lean to complete, it's time to do a bigger one now. 😁😁 Thanks for the simple but concise instructions.
@slo232000 Жыл бұрын
nice video for a simple lean to project. i would recommend at the top edge of the roof where the black metal meets the metal building putting a large bead of exterior silicone, caulk, or even roofing tar to seal out that joint. Stormwater will find its way into that open joint against the building and over time saturate and deteriorate the ledger board. Water can find its way into the shed through the screw holes too.
@awildapproach Жыл бұрын
thank you for saying that. I was watching this and wondering if caulk was needed. Now I know! :)

Can you translate “notch out the top of the 4x4 post….” in simple terms for the rest of us? I’m about to do this project myself and I’d like to know what you mean because I have no clue watch notching means or does other than makes it stronger…
@kennethbowles4049 Күн бұрын
@@IGK58 At 3:04 you see him screw a 2x6 to his posts. Instead of doing this, you cut out part of the top of the 4x4, so that the 2x6 sits on top of a notch. You just make these cuts with your circular saw and the 2x6 will fit in the opening you create. Your 4x4 top will look like it has a little edge for the 2x6 to sit on. Many call it a LAP JOINT. This will distribute the load down the 4x4 instead of on the screws you used to mount the 2x6. I too am going to build this in a few days, and I think cutting out a notch is a wise idea.

Good job. It looks great! My only suggestion would be to put some concrete in the bottom of the post hole before you put the posts in. When you put the post in the hole first, then surround it in concrete you leave the bottom of the post exposed to the dirt. It will slowly rot from the bottom up over the years. The wood acts like a straw and will suck water up into it from the dirt that it contacts.
@blurglide 7 ай бұрын
Yeah, but then you have a concrete cup the post is sitting in. Best to put some coarse gravel down there to allow drainage while still creating a barrier from the soil

I cemented 4 x 4 posts into the ground when putting in a fence around my home in Florida and after about 30 years the posts began rotting out where the cement was. I replaced the rotted out posts with new 4 x 4's but instead of cement put in crushed limestone to allow the water to seep past the wood. I think this might be better than cement but 30 years is still great. Thanks for the post
@LordoftheCats 11 ай бұрын
One solution to prevent the post from rotting is to first start with pressure-treated wood. Then coat the part of the post that will be below ground with a good heavy coat of black fence post paint. I like to use two coats. Now put that on top of a 4 -6 inch layer of compacted crushed stone in the bottom of the hole then pour the concrete around that. That's about as close to a forever post as you can get. If you cut your posts in the process of the build, especially the tops of the post, it's a good idea to coat those cuts with some form of sealant since you removed the PT chemicals when you made a cut. Happy fencing!!

Man, this video on "how-to build a lean-to on an existing building" SUCKS!!! Nah, I'm just messing with you. Honestly this is the BEST video that I've seen so far when searching for "how to build a lean to" videos. Most of the other videos out there are way to long with way too much happening and nothing really being explained in simple terms or if it is explained it's way to much info. By the time you finish watching the long videos, you no longer feel motivated to start ypur own projecy. But your video was only 10 minutes long and yet you showed and explained the whole build plus you made it look so easy that I'm just going to start doing my project. Simple easy and straight to the point. Like I said the best video that I've seen so far.
