Shop with a lean-to
A 30′ × 60′ building with 14′ walls and a lean-to along the eave side.
What the building had to do
The main building is an enclosed 30′ × 60′ shop. The lean-to runs along the side and adds covered space for equipment, a trailer or firewood without making the whole building wider.
A lean-to hangs off the main frame, so it costs far less per square foot than adding the same width to the building itself. The tall main walls leave room for its roof to slope down and still clear what’s parked underneath.
Why tubular
For a shop that isn’t getting drywalled, tubular steel is hard to beat on price up to sixty feet wide. At thirty feet, the main building is well inside that range, and the lean-to is framed in tubular too.
Tubular is quoted installed. The kit and the crew come as one number, lean-to included, so the price you compare is the price of the standing building.
Plan the lean-to with the building. Adding one later means matching the frame, the panels and the roof line after the fact. Designing it in from the start keeps it all in one package and one price.
