The length of the lean-to cannot be greater than the length of the main structure. Similarly, the height of the lean-to should also suit that of the main structure. This is important for the easy flow of water, snow, and debris away from the roofs of your buildings.
• When selecting the roof style of the lean-to, make sure that the roof style of the lean-to and the main structure are as close as possible to being the same. This gives the lean-to carport or the lean-to garage uniformity. It also increases the effectiveness of the entire structure.
• Also, ensure that the lean-to carport or the lean-to metal building complies with your local building and zoning regulations.
