Time Lapse of Building a Lean To on My Barn

Building a lean to on my barn.

Your welcome, thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the great video! Your shed looks good.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@user-er3th6wv6y]

Nice job, thanks for making the video. I will be making one soon, 16x36. I think a ledger board that is properly secured is mandatory, a very important component. I also will cut the rafters together, then mark them at 24" for the purlins. 2x4 purlins are easier and maybe stronger, also wider target for screws. Also, I will pre-drill the steel on the ground, much easier. I'm using 6x6 posts are 2x8 rafters on 16" centers. 2x12 double beam, 2x12 girder.

I now very well it would have taken me a week for what you did in two days. Good job.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks Glenn, hope your weekend is enjoyable. It's getting hot here.

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Looks good. Thanks!

I also work alone and the loader platform is a great idea

[@SoatMon]

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of it years ago but I use it a lot now. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for sharing!

You're welcome!

[@usnr1057]

Wish you were around to help me build a lean on my barn. Watching this helped me figure out how to do this myself. We'll see how it turns out.

[@SoatMon]

Glad to help. I hope it comes out great!

[@kellitullos]

That was great!

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@joncrosby8988]

i were to upload vid, it would have to be this. I've tried to work and narrate at the same time. NOPE. One or the other!! Anyway, Great job ! Love using thae 🚜. I often have to find ways to do a two-man job by myself. Never underestimate creativity when its feuled by survival! One thing for sure, add diagonals ro the front for lateral bracing! About 1/3 the way down the post is a sweet spot. Or gentle racking back and forth over the years (or one well-placed windstorm) will loosen it to unsafe levels! Cheers!

[@SoatMon]

I don't know why it took me so long to think of using the pallet on the tractor as a platform but I use it all the time now. Thanks for the comment.

[@kevinhornbuckle]

Nice work.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@bamafan62]

i'm thinking about doing same....can you give me an idea of what this cost you?

[@MrEzplay]

Amazing

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@jkashj1994]

Very nice! Appreciate the video. Any way to attach flashing at the connection to the barn? I'm wanting to do something similar, but I don't want water to make it through the connection.

[@SoatMon]

You could flash against the barn but you would want to put it under the barn siding.

[@juanmartinezmbapmppmiacp2104]

Looks great

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@my3sonsnh]

Great video... I'm thinking of a similar project to store my tractor... Did you put any flashing where the roof met the barn? Thanks for sharing!

[@SoatMon]

I didn't flash it. I do get some water through there but it's the side of the barn which was getting rained on before. Flashing it would be the correct way to do it though.

[@brianridgway664]

Man you're a stud putting those on there by yourself LOL my new hero LOL I'm trying to figure out how to butt the roof of the shed up to the existing Barn. Is there a special piece that fits the ribs of the tin..?

[@SoatMon]

Your supplier should have flashing that fits it

[@BAHRAMCR]

nice job.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@nannamoonpiee]

Smart man. Kubota and Toyota rock

[@SoatMon]

Thanks! I agree Kubota and Toyoto do rock.

[@CharlieLmarsh]

great job - Did you bury the post with dirt or add concrete?

[@SoatMon]

I set them in concrete but have used gravel and dirt in the past. I think both work well, I just didn't want to have to pack all the dirt in there. I'm getting too old for all that. :)

[@angelasteininger1870]

how far apart did you space everything? the posts, the rafters the 2x4's?

[@chuckpechan]

What about diagonal bracing from the roof to the posts? Also, what about flashing on the top where the new roof meets the barn? And one more question, why didn't you use a nailer against the barn to fasten the rafters to? I am going to be building a 20' lean to that is 40' long and am trying to see how other people do things and why. Thanks for the video.

[@jameswalker590]

@ieatyomama I think it's the slope of the ground playing tricks with your eyes. Notice how the barn is raised up off the ground on the right side? He used a laser level to make sure the posts are level, so I'd bet what we're seeing is just the slope of the ground vs his roof

[@alabastardmasterson]

@@jameswalker590 it's definitely not level. Not 2' out but it's out, unless the camera is playing tricks

[@Graysail0r]

@@alabastardmasterson Nope I'm his neighbor -and Brother in law - it's flat. Must be the tripod the camera was on. If you look at where the rafters are connected to the barn they hit at the same spot. The ground isn't very level at all so maybe that's it.

[@colstace2560]

Instead of cutting 2x4s in between the rafters, why not just lay a long 2x4 flat on top ? It's much quicker

[@kuzeyandi7061]

Thank you Ryan for releasing a great product as this [ Check Details Here?> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Most of the plans I have imagined in my mind are put down on your woodworking plans. This is more like a genius job. I love it!?

[@DRJMF1]

What brackets did you use to fit the top of the rafters to your original shed ?

[@SoatMon]

I used regular joist hangers like you get at Homedepot

[@BAHRAMCR]

By the way, how did you attach the 2x to the barn ?

[@SoatMon]

With joist hangers. Like these amzn.to/2XCjRep but I got them at home depot.

[@keith5486]

Did you use brackets at the barn and of the rafters? And did you notch the post end of the rafters? Also what is the distance between each post?

[@SoatMon]

I did use brackets at the barn ends and notched (bird mouth) the post end. The posts are 8 feet apart. That distance worked out evenly but I wish I had done a couple at 10 feet, 8 feet is kind of tight if you are backing a trailer into it.

[@keith5486]

@@SoatMon Fantastic. I have about a 20ft space and was hoping to split it even. What size header board and ledger boards did you use? What about rafter and perlin sizes?

[@MrRsr121]

What were your dimensions on this?

[@Archer_3225]

What was the spacing that you had the rafters on center? I'm looking at doing the same thing here very shortly

[@SoatMon]

24 inches

[@sharonsybrandt2249]

@@SoatMon My husband is building something similar off the side of our house. (14' x 35') Although, it will have a rear and exterior sidewall. It is for our RV. He did his rafters 16" OC. I thought 24" would be sufficient as we are doing a straight metal roof - no decking - and we don't get snow here in CenTex. (well, as long as you don't include LAST WEEK! LOL) Anyway, you seem to have proven 16" was a bit overkill for our purposes. Oh well....

[@skeon67]

Nice job

[@SoatMon]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@rrswitch48]

Nice work on the lean to How is it holding up?

[@SoatMon]

Still going strong

[@rrswitch48]

​@@SoatMon Adding a small one soon to my shed with 16' 2x6's. Hopeful for a 4/12 pitch .

[@dboys100]

Did you use treated wood on all of it.

[@SoatMon]

No just the posts that went into the ground.

[@kranson8514]

I think you did that pretty quick for an ole boy😉👍

Thanks!

great

Did you use 2x6’s to run the span

[@SoatMon]

Yes, 2x6

[@shadlemon]

Soat Mon thank you great video

[@PiOfficial]

How'd you put the posts in the ground?

[@SoatMon]

Drilled holes with my tractor and set them in concrete.

[@powerram92]

what the sizes of the lean tub

[@SoatMon]

If I'm remembering correctly, it's 16x32

[@camcordernonsense5264]

Cost and my lack of knowledge are keeping me from building but I love watching other people building.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!

[@gregoryrandall4819]

Some of the people on here are know it all's Everyone has there way of doing things if it does the job then great As far as the what about eye protection Back in the day we didn't have eye protection

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!!

[@joncrosby8988]

Yeah...I remember when eyelashes first came out i was like "hell yeah finally SOMETHIN to help catch a little dust when i do the safety squint" it was centuries before anyone thought of a physical barrier you could see thru. The ones you cantt see thru are for welding. And safety glasses actually made of glass kinda defeats the purpose. Imma start calling them safety plastics. I bought a work light today and on the box, in large print: WARNING: ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Always? Really?? Its a fuckin light for gods sake. No wonder noone takes it serious when glasses would actually be in your best interest. I cant wear em all the time they fog up, fall off, drip sweat, and i dare you to wear them with a dust mask. I always ask..." Am i safer blind but protected, or witnessing but vulnerable? Yup. Im bored

[@sidetraksidetrak879]

building a lean too roof for small 8x8 need to know how to do rafters every vid i seen kinda skips over this most important detail. using 2x4s with 2ft drop. Anyone that recommend a vid thank You

[@SoatMon]

I used joist hangers at the top of the rafter to attach to the building. You have to cut a angle on the end of the rafter to match the pitch of the roof. You can just hold the board up to the building and draw a line to match the pitch. Then secure in the joist hanger. You can use rafter ties at the lower end to hold it in place. Both are available from home depot or lowes. Good luck.

[@sidetraksidetrak879]

@@SoatMon how to cut the angle is what i really needed to know.Thank You for the info
