Great work man. Looks great. I love seeing how you interact with your employees. I’m so used to seeing the boss yelling and cursing at his employees. You speak to them calm and with respect and did a heck of a job. Keep up the good work. Love the video.

Thank you for the wonderful comments!! We try our best to always be that way, however, if i am in a bad mood, its probably my cousins who hear it the most!!!Thank you for watching and the comment!!!

Gonna be honest I didn't expect such a good video from a dude in flip flops and capris but I'll be bookmarking this for my future lean to project because there's a lot of good info to take in and I'll need to watch it more than once.

This is the kind of video I wish I could find all the time. When I thought "I wonder what it takes to build a lean-to onto my shop" and find a video of this quality. Perfect length, perfectly explained, great quality. No life story, no long dumb introduction, just the good stuff. Thanks!

[@firstnforemost7283]

Our main goal shooting the video was making sure that anyone could actually build their own lean-to off of the information given!!!Thank you for watching and for the comment. We have more DIY decks,roofs, and shed coming soon

thank you very much, and thank you for watching our video!!! the amount of views on this video is almost unbelievable, and has well surpassed our expectations!!! filming and the whole youtube channel is much more work than i had expected. i have a massive amount of help from our videographer, who is actually much more than that, we are learning more amd more everyday!! planning and scheduling is really the hardest thing to accomplish, because the other crews and builders do not wait just because we are set! thank for your kind comments and i hope you check out our Chapel build series and many more that we have in editing phase right now!!! have a great weekend

[@firstnforemost7283]

Thank you Chris for watching and commenting!!! when i started this company i wanted to do things a little differently than how i was done by other bosses. that was to include pay,saying thank you for their time away from their families and vactaion pay(which is un heard of for construction workers where im from). i think we are accomplishing those things and thats why i have such good people working with me. One of the hardest things to do we've dicovered is being a consistent part of all the crews day each day as we grow. Filming a complete video without interference is also super hard. I do love building and actually being with the guys lets them know that i know what they go through and lets us connect on a level much more personal than if you are making money or not! Hopefully we can continue to grow in experience and execution to bring quality videos on a regular schedule. Thanks again for watching

[@sandrarichardson2713]

WOW!! I love videos like this and have not seen one give so much explanation of details. Wonderful!!! I am wanting to do something on a little smaller scale to the side of my house...one story, asbestos roofing. My question is...should the pitch of the lean-to be equal to the pitch of the roof in order for water run-off from the roof to not wash backwards onto the wall of the house during a downpour if the lean-to roof pitch is too shallow? That was pretty horrible stated and hope you can decipher what in the world I just asked. Thanks so much. Jesus bless.

[@firstnforemost7283]

thank you for watching Miss Sandra!!!! you do not have to make your new roof the same pitch as the house. You pitch should ideally be steeper than 12 degrees. A 4/12 pitch which is close to 19 degrees is required if using asphalt shingles. As far as the blowing rain, there is a way to cut Z flashing against the existing structure along with silicone that will protect you from blowing rain!!!

[@firstnforemost7283]

my mom lives in a house with that exact scenario! and the drain is in the center at the bottom of the stairs. i think thats a great idea, you'll be rerouting the rain entirely and not even letting it get to that area.. As a matter of fact the house we built the lean-to on has that situation as well. except its not a tri-level home. i built a roof over that for him when i built his addition! I'll see if i can show it to you! thanks for watching and commenting as well!!!

How did you attach the ledger board. Im wanting to install a lean to on my building. The frame of my building is 2 ¹/² " square tubing. Im unsure on the best was to tie into it. My tin on the side wall is running horizontal like this one.

[@maynardwaynehughes6914]

Thank you sir

[@TaylorsAuthenticTraditions]

How does one match what you built here but on a higher barn? The client only wants it half of the hiegh of the existing barn. How do i flash the ledger board to prevent wayer from running down the walls to the interior? This eill be installed onto western metal ehich has a higjer rib than standard pro rib metal. Also, do i install a double ledger, one on the interior and one on the exterior? Last question, where you bird mouth notched your rafters, can one skip the notching and make the end of the rafter where it meets the beam board flush at the top and still have an effective install? Thank you for the awesome video. Well wxecuted and explained Honestly, probably the best i have ever seen!

[@shadyfieldhomestead1974]

One more question. Do you recommend some type of moisture tape when attaching a lean to roof to the shed? I'll be using treated 4x4 post that will run along side the shed as close as i can get them. I am wondering about putting moisture construction tape in between the post and the shed? Also, would I be better off having a metal roof with just framed in roof or using OSB and putting shingles? On the other roof I recently built I used plywood and shingled the roof. I am wondering which is more cost effective? I'm also thinking just putting up a metal roof will cut down on the amount of time

Great video! You explain it so well. How deep did you set the posts? Do you prefer dry concrete mix, then add water, or mix then pour?

[@heymakerphd1982]

I'm curious, how do you keep yellowjackets from building nests under the original eaves and the new roof? How long does it take for the concrete mix to be totally activated?

[@firstnforemost7283]

thanks Don! 1. we set the posts 24 inches deep. 2. i prefer mixed concrete if strength is my main priority, however dry packed is easier and all that was necessary for this job!!! @heymaker thanks for the comment and questions!!! 1. bees and wasps are definitely a battle, especially where a building is barely used. but the best way is to completely close off the fascia. i actually did a newsletter on this exact problem that goes up on my community tab this friday the 9th of june 2. the concrete will be cured in approximately 24 hours

[@firstnforemost7283]

thank you so much!! i appreciate the kind comments, have a great day. if you build something please show us!!!

[@Sweet_meet_pete]

what methods are used to set the height of the 6x6 post. Or should i ask how to know at what depth to make the hole

[@aprox23]

Wouldn't it be better to put the post on concrete blocks instead burying them in the ground to prevent the wood from rotting? Nice video btw.

[@firstnforemost7283]

yes it definitely would be better. i built this lean-to for a builder i work for and he couldnt decide on what type of floor he was going to lay i.e stamped concrete or pavers. so he told me to do it as i did!!! ideally a metal bracket attached to concrete or anything keeping the post at least 1 in above the surface would be great!

[@coplock6689]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing. Is there a certain pitch or angle that the lean to has to have?? The ledger board is higher up than the exterior braces. How do you figure that height?? Sorry for the question, but I don't know how that part works when building one of these.

[@firstnforemost7283]

Thank you Coplock for watching!!! And for the comment. I would recommend at least a 12°-15° pitch. That would also depend on where you live as well. As far as beam height relative to the ledger can be seen by using a line level,a level with a straight board the length of the building or a transom. Ideally you would have 3inches of fall per foot of length. You can work from the beam or the legder whichever of the two you are most confident in, install that first. If you install the ledger first, multiply 3 inches times the length of the span. So let's say your span is 12 feet long. You would then hook the top of the ledger and mark down 36" and place a nail or screw or a mark with your pencil is fine as well. Then from that mark use a string line or chalk line with a three inch line level attached to it from your mark towards the posts. Pull the line tight and mark one post when the level is centered. From there you can then run the same line level from that post to the other posts. That mark would then be the top of your beam minus the thickness of your rafter. So if your rafter was a 2x6 you would subtract and additional 5 inches or 4 1/2 (to leave a nice bird's mouth). And then make your notches for you beam from there downwards..... If you have your beam set first because thats more comfortable for you, then run a stringline towards the building from the top of your beam and when level place a mark on the existing structure.from there measure upwards the 36 inches plus the thickness of you rafter and mark that as the top of you ledger, and pop a line across the direction of your ledger. Sorry for the long response but im glad you asked, thats what we are here for!!! If you have any more queztions feel free to ask anytime. Thank you for taking your time to write us. Make sure to check oit our DIY deck video and DIY ceramic tile as well. Have a great day sir!!!

[@DominyHomeemail]

Great video! Wish I could find lumber that looked that good around me! Did you only put two screws per metal stud for the ledger board? What do you mean "screw on both sides of the ledger break? I thought I should drill and bolt the ledger threw each metal stud but rather not! I'm building 50'x12'

[@firstnforemost7283]

Thank you for watching Ed! yes i did add two screws per metal stud. the ledger break was the 2x6 against the existing metal building. The studs on the metal building were 2 1/2" wide, so i marked 1 1/4" to find the center of the stud, and cut the board to that mark. then continued to the end with the next piece. Being that the both boards now "shared" the stud and the joint it allowed me two install two screws into the same stud and thus supporting where the first ledger stopped and the second ledger started. A 50'x12' building is big building, if you have any questions during your build feel free to send an email with pictures and I'd be glad to help at anytime!!!!

[@Mickey.SilverStaXXX]

I'm getting ready to do this on my pole barn. Question: What do you do when the steel siding is oriented the other direction (ribs vertical)? I was thinking of using 3/4 plywood spacers between the ribs to set the ledger on top of the ribs so there's no gap.

[@firstnforemost7283]

Thank you, sir!!! Yes, I would fill in between the ribs to prevent bending the current sheets inwards for sure. Thank you for watching. And if you run into any trouble during your build feel free to reach out i would love to see photos too!!!

I've started my Lean To addition, 15 x 30, to my existing pole barn. I'm using spacers, as you mentioned, and my ledger board is bolted to the existing 6"x6" barn posts while using lag bolts between the post. (so far, so good)

Thanks for showing the video. I see that you screwed the header over the metal in the outside. It will be difficult down the road to remove in case of damage, or putting in a window or door. I have this same issue, so I’ll be cutting the metal and adding flashing for rain and moisture.

Great info and video!! Let me ask instead of pouring concrete around the 6x6 post could not just dig a two by two foot by 2 ft hole. Fill it full of concrete and then put the post on top of it after the concrete drys? That away the concrete don't eat the post away?

[@firstnforemost7283]

Absolutely you can, you could also wrap the post in vynil at the bottom and the concrete will not eat through the vynil. Thank you for watching!!!!

[@brandonrivest9233]

Instead of chalking a line on the tin, why don’t you measure your 3” over hang then every 16” or whatever your strapping is at and predill the holes for the screws? Will ensure a dead straight line of screws and easier to screw in general.

[@brianc6778]

Are the rafters 4foot on center ?

[@sukonmiskunk5696]

a few things i would have done different. I would have mixed sand and gravel into the concrete and poured it wet, its a lot stronger. Also with the roof, you never screw in the valley always on the hip. You can see how the techs have created an indent, this will eventually leak, also those sheets need the ends folded up under the other roof to stop the water from back traking.

[@evilxt420]

Hello. Great video! I want to put something similar up on my deck. Maybe you can help me with a few questions…. How much weight can the roof hold and what metal panels did you use? I live in New Jersey so there will be heavy wet snow and ice on it. Thank you…

great question and thank you for watching. the metal roof panels were purchased at a local hardware store and are consistent in thickness with normal building materials if not thicker than most metal roofing on new residential homes in my area. Being that you have expected snow load i would pour concrete footings to about 4 inches above ground and "beef" up the sub-frame of the roof to help with the potential load. the metal will withstand the snow load but a subframe built at 16" on center with 2 foot on center spacing on perlin blocking will give you all the strength you need to build a long lasting lean-to, even in New Jersey!!!!

The main issue is not sealing the bottom of the 6x6. Even tho it’s treated the concrete will eat the wood away. You should be doing at least a couple coats of driveway sealer or something along those lines to have a barrier between the wood/concrete.

1:30 Are the 4x4s the only lumber that needs to be treated?
