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.
Thank you for being open minded!!lol...i had my pants pulled up so i wouldnt get mud on them....but the flops there is no denying!!! Thank you for watching Zach
Don't drop your razor knife
You forgot the douchebag jawline beard
How can you take somebody in flip flops building something serious
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!!!
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!
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

Great video. I really think that lean-to is built better than the prefabricated building it's being attacked to lol.
Thank you Dan, i do believe so as well. i get attacked a lot on here about how poorly i built it, people saying it won't last. Yet, its still there and since been closed in and looks wonderful still. In fa t ive been contacted by the same homeowner to build one on the other side as well!!!!
I have mad respect for a boss who is willing to get up and dirty with the boys and not some one that just barks orders.. great work on the build!
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
@@firstnforemost7283 well you nailed it! God bless you, and your family. If I still lived out there I would look you up. Definitely the kind of company I would want to have work done by,or work for. Cheers brother keep it up it will pay off for sure!
First carpenter I’ve seen on TH-cam that actually knows his craft
Thank you very much! Thank you for watching and have a great day!!!
Great instructional step by step with material list! It might be a good idea to fill the holes in the ground with a layer of large gravel rocks so the posts can shed any water that can accumulate in the posts over the years and cause rotten posts. I built huge deck when I was 22 and thanks to Bob Villa lol... showing this method, it still stands today and I'm 58. No rotten posts. This is the best video out there today sir. Thank you!
Wow, thank you very much sir! You have a great day!!!!
Brother bear rocking them slides! Love the vid
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Aussie lady cabinetmaker here. Sweet job and respect for teaching others valuable skills. Ytube algorithm was kind sending me down the rabbit hole in your direction. Wish more ppl took the time to teach good building practices.❤
wow!!!thank you for the kind words, they are greatly appreciated! And thank you for the comment as well! Have a great day!!!!!
Great crew, superior dog 😂
Absolutely!!!!
One of the best instructional videos I’ve ever seen. Appreciate ya!
Thank you very much for your kind words! We appreciate your feedback and wish you a wonderful day as well. If you have any further questions or need assistance in the future, feel free to reach out.
The quality of the production on this video is top notch. Also very informative and easy to digest information - thanks.

Nice job ! Thank you for the details and tips too
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!!
Amazing video! Thank you
thank you very much and greatly appreciate the comment!!!
Great video , very easy to understand .Thanks again.
Thank you for your comment😊
I’m pleased that there aren’t many comments/arguments about your method of setting the 6x6’s in dry concrete or using the bricks at the bottom of the hole. Here in East Texas there’s plenty of moisture in the soil year round (to set dry concrete) but always everyone argues about gravel or no gravel at the base of the post. I always have used about 6” of gravel or drainage rock and never have had a rot problem. The biggest issue you didn’t address was your reason for leaving the top of the concrete 6 inches below the surrounding soil. I would consider that to be the weakest link since it gives water a place to pool at the most critical spot.
Thank you for watching
Very well built with the notched in beam!
Thank you very much sir!! Thank you for watching!!
Thanks!
Wow Thank you sir! Thank you for watching!!!!
Very good video and a big thanks for all the details
Thank you for watching, i tried to make it a point to give enough details so anyone can actually complete their own lean-to. i hope you enjoyed the video and check out our deck and ceramic tile DIY's as well!!!

SUPER Helpful!! Thank you very much guys!
Thank you for watching!
Best video I've found on the topic and I looked at a lot. I used it to make my own. Excellent video production skills, carpentry skills and even human relations. Not everyone would learn enough Spanish to communicate with help. Thanks
Wow so cool that you built your own. When I made the ideas for the video my goal was that someone could actually build their own by the videos instructions. Even if it wasn't the same size it doesn't matter the concepts are the same. So cool! Do you have any pictures of yours that you could email us. I'd love to put it on the channel and make a video about it possibly! If you are interested in that please email photos of the lean-to to

i meant for watching lol i dont know if you subscribed!!!
Looks great and very clear instructions. Thanks! I'll be doing this exact thing too.
thanks for watching John! let me know if you have any questions thoughout your build I'd be glad to help!!!
Great how to video. Thanks again for posting
Thanks for watching!
Love the working slides though I was the only one have done so many projects in slides!
i got to have in the truck with me every day!!!
Thank you for this valuable video. I was considering different options to free up much needed space in my shop and this looks to be the best option for my needs. I also appreciate that you lead and treat your team with respect. Its great that your team works "with" you rather than "for" you.
thank you so much!! i appreciate the kind comments, have a great day. if you build something please show us!!!
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.
I drill 5"×3/8" metal tipped screws through my ledger and threw both sides of the existing studs. It would be even better to pretrial a 5/8" hole and send a 1/2"×6" bolt at each stud with a nut and washer. If you use 3/8" screw option I would put 3 each stud. Thanks for watching!!!!!
personally i loved the tactical flops
😃 thank you sir, it wasn't intentional but the show had to go on!!!!! I do wear them a lot though, too much actually. I've lost two toenails over the years due to stubbing my toes! Ouch! Thank you for watching!!!!!
This was a great video. Looking for something for my channel to keep Edna and tools. This video is perfect for what I was thinking of building!
Glad it was helpful!
Very high quality video. clear and concise
thank you very much, we owe it to our videographer for sure!!!! thank you for watching our video!!!
Beautiful shed! Awesome work.
Thank you very much!
Great quality videos 🔥
Thank you sir!!!
Glad you like them!
Great video! Definitely saving this one for my summer project.
Thank you watching our video!! And an extra thank you for the comment, it really helps youtube show the video more!
Fabulous video. One of the only structural based videos that I have been able to comprehend. You have a great way of educating. Thanks for that. I need this exact structure on the same side of my pole barn.
Wow!!!what an awesome comment. when i came up with the idea for this video,i researched other videos, and i felt there just wasnt enough explanation to actually complete a build like this. So for you to say that is super awesome!. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch our video!!! I hope you have a great day.
@@firstnforemost7283 you’re very welcome and I’ll check out and like your other videos when I get a sec.
@@firstnforemost7283 I agree. You are a great teacher. Very well explained and easy to follow. Not long winded, to the point. You know your stuff man, keep it up bro!
Thank You,for Your professionalism.
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
Great Job Thanks
Thank you for watching!
1:30 Are the 4x4s the only lumber that needs to be treated?
No, the 4x4s gotta be pressure treated, which means it's rated for ground contact. Everything should be borate treated though, for sure.
They are 6x6's on this lean-to but yes the support post has to be treated.
Anything that comes in contact with or in close vicinity of the ground needs to be treated. Thanks for watching
How are you suppose to be taken seriously when your wearing F'in slippers?? You are a joke dude, seriously 🤡
i thought you were about to do your footers in a rammed earth method there for a sec. good video bro. solid info and well done. que bueno
Thank you for watching sir!!! Have a great day
I finish off the post holes by digging a 12" sq at the top of the post angled to the post on all four sides, about 8 inches deep. Then overfill the hole with concrete and trowel smooth, angled away from the post on all sides. Results, water will run away from the post, dirt won't contact the post near the surface and trimming the grass around the post is eliminated.
That is a great idea and very smart to minimize maintenance on the post! Thank you for watching!
I got a build for ya.
Tri-level home’s basement side door (sub level) with concrete exterior staircase. I’m building a lean-to greenhouse to cover and enclose the staircase. I like to see your take on it. Good video.
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!!!
Shows the respect he has to the workers and trade by wearing slides!
There is no disrespect intended to the craft or my subcontractors. Just wanted to make a lean-to video that has enough facts as to where someone could actually build what is in the video or a variation of this same lean-to. And I belive we nailed it!
Thanks for watching
Nice job
Thank you for watching!
Good job true plumb level and square oh and strong
Thank you very much for watching and especially the kind comment! Have a great day
Good video, my favorite part is if you wanna see more DIY projects just like this one... As there are 5 other people doing the work... lol But good instruction.
lol...i get it..we only had 5 hours to shoot so i have to do what is necessary for time and the guys' hours but it was an ironic statement, depending on POV!!!! Thank you for watching and especially the comment!
Exactly the video I was looking for! Great job, great crew! Thanks!
Thank you for watching Roy!!!!
Very helpful. Love the construction site slides! That’s exactly how I roll.
im glad you liked it and definitely how i role!!!!nothing more comfortable to me!!!thank you for the comment. have a great day!!!
Just subscribe to you You did a nice job on that Enjoy it and I'll be watching more have a good and safe day
thank you very much for the comment!!
Never trust a carpenter who wears flip flops on a build site😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cmon man!!!!! Lol thanks for watching!!!!
Lol ehhh that's the only type of carpenter one can trust. Seee he's not worried about his feet because he keeps the site so clean 😅
It’s best to stack all sheets together on saw horses . Measure your screw hole marks and pre drill all sheets in one pass together . Your screw holes will always line up this way and be perfectly uniform once installed
well built
thank you very much sir!!!
thank you for watching our video!!!
The bird mouth looks like it’s more than one third of the way.
A crucial aspect to remember when cutting a birdsmouth is to ensure the structural integrity of the rafter. As a rule of thumb, never remove more than one-third of the depth of the rafter. Overcutting might compromise the strength and reliability of the rafter, leading to potential roofing problems in the future.
Great job!
Thank you scarecro!!! thanks for watching!!
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?
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?
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
I’m building a roof of the shed like you are, but it’s for a chicken run. Now I planned on taking it from the shed and attaching it to the privacy fence instead of installing post like you did. Our shed is a big shed that anchored with large augers, the kind you might find single or double wide trailers. Now is that a bad idea, should I run a couple of post up against the fence to where the roof isn’t attached to the fence?
great question!! depending on the spacing between the posts of your fence, you may be able install a beam from post to post on your existing fence that could suffice just fine. these typs of roof designs with metal panels have a very low weight per sq. foot . thank you for the comment and for watching!!! have a great day.
Great video! Thanks for letting us come along! Keep up the good work! 👍
thank you Rudy! make sure you check out our wedding and events venue build part 1 is up now!
I’m thinking about doing this above my deck and was curious if it’s loud underneath the metal roof and if so what can I do to lessen the sound? Best video I’ve seen on a lean to. Great freakin job man.
Thank you for watching! I'm assuming you could try some type of dampener like what's use in cars for stereo speakers or even maybe 3/4" interlocking pads from like a exercise flooring to lessen it. Maybe even batten insulation in some type of lowered ceiling that you could maybe install a vynil ceiling on. Ki d of like a dropped soffit or commercial ceiling. On interior walls we sometimes get requests to insulate certain interior walls to help block sound. It works inside so It may work outside as well!
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 job easy to follow step by step and well detailed instructions
Thank you sir
Nice work on the video and quality looking work. What size was the lean to or did I miss that ? I know the video is 2yrs. old now but what would a job like that cost?
No worries thanks for watching! If I'm not mistaken we spent about $2000 on materials and it was $1200 for labor. I think it is was 20x12 the posts and beam were at about 11 feet from the existing shed. I could be off by a little bit its been a while!
Wait is nobody going to mention his sliders ? 😂What a legend great tutorial!!
I dont go to work without them!!!!!Thanks for watching
I'm trying to decide between doing a lean to like this or having a separate structure built. What was your cost on materials for this?
The materials were approximately $990 for the metal roofing ,trim and screws. The wood and concrete at this time was like 600 and there were some costs for the bolts. All in all, materials were a total near $1800. The cost of lumber has come down since this video was shot.
My father in law had a concrete business that all he could find to work was Mexicans… he taught them the trade, then they left and started competing against him on bids😂. It got to the point he just had to stop. He wasn’t mad at them because it’s hard work and he respected them. After he died they all came to his funerals, and anytime I need any work done they are quick to come and help.
If someone learns a trade, he or she will never be out of work.
Mexicans are one of the only labor willing ppl out there
Were they Mexicans or other Latinos because a Mexican men who work with their hands know these skills…have you seen Mexicos structures and ways of building with concrete that many white bosses in the USA began implementing into their jobs? I’ve never ever heard of Mexican workers learning the trade of concrete 😂😂😂😂 maybe the U.S. business practices but not the concrete skills
Kinda messed up but cool at the same time.
Question… what offsets did you use for your rafters??
We use 3/4" offset if you pull from the beginning. If you move your tape and pull from a Mark then you go every 16 or 24 exact
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.
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!!!
Great video! I want to do the exact same but enclose it.
That's great
That's great!!! closing in a lean-to make a great shed or garage. our build your own shed series final videos will be up soon, if you would like to see those as well. Thank you for watching!!!!
What is the ledger board connected to on the inside of the building?
Thank you for watching P wolf!!!
the ledger is connected to the wall studs of the existing structure.
@@firstnforemost7283 My shed is a metal frame and not a wood frame. My lean to will be 60 by 16 feet, Do you think the metal frame can support this? My ledger will have to be connected to the metal post (3 inch square tube metal). Thanks for your time...
I just want something small to put my riding mower and push mower under, so it's not in the weather. Great video, but I think it's a bit overkill for what I need, lol.
I have a brick exterior do you think one 2x6x10 would be good enough for the ledger on the brick, or should i go with a 2x8x10. Also instead of using 6x6 posts, could i use 4x4 or 4x6 to attach the roof?
Just trying to see what a scaled down version would be.
Yes sir absolutely on both of your choices. Especially, since you must want to park your mower under there. It doesn't have to be as wide as this one was. If you use 4x4's I would recommend some type of beam to post connector, to protect from uplift in a storm or high winds. If you use a 4x6, you can still notch the post as to put some bolts through it and into the beam. If you have any troubles with your build feel free to reach out and I'll do what I can to help! Thank you for watching
Awesome, I live in Florida so I plan to use hurricane ties to the ends and I planned on drilling straight through the 4x4s and using bolts to hold the 2x6 in place.
Was going to start on this yesterday but it was so hot I wound up staying inside all day haha.
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.
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!!!
Thanks for great video as I plan to do the same thing for my carport. Please help me to calculate the tilt of the carport's roof, I need it has tilt of 28 degree with the high end is 8 feet high so what is the height of lower end to get 28 degree tilt with the 7"6' span between the posts. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Glad it helped, thank you for watching!!
[thank, you for you're helpful video. I'm. looking to build something like you're video to tie in to my 2 bay shop I, want to build a outside welding shop]👍
Great!!!Thank you for watching and especially thank you for the comment!!!!!!!!!
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!!!!
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?
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!!!!
I like the video I do a lot of this work but was seeing if there was new or different ways of doing this for at home but man… put some shoes/boots on 😂 I almost couldn’t keep watching seeing those Sandals lol
Cmon man give me a chance Lol!!!! Just kidding thank you for watching!!! Have a great day
For beginners like me I would like to see a close-up of the overlap of the metal and the placement of the screws.
Valid point!! Noted, Thank you for watching
@@firstnforemost7283 Thank you.
I need to build something like this over my patio and deck that run together but I need to attach from the slope side, only have 8' in height to the overhang and told I need to go up on the roof and attach above the outside wall to make sure I have enough room for the proper slop and plenty of head room on the outside beam.
Going out 20' running 50'.
Any insight would be appreciated!
You were told correctly. Going up the roof a little ways will provide you with a better slope while being able to raise the beam up high enough to not feel crowded. being that you are going 20' out i would recommend you go 6 feet up the roof to get at least a 3/12 pitch. you will have to flash the gables to ensure no water enters but i think you will appreciate the look you end up with. if you want send me some pictures of your area or any questions and I'll do what i can to help. Ask anything at all, I'd be glad to help!!! we are on facebook as well @firstnforemost and my email is
