"lean-to" and "flat roof" are different things in my book.


I think it might be a garage with a flat roof?

Am I right that the lean to runs the length or width of the garage and
will jut out 3.5m from it? In that case, you'll need a strong, heavy
structure to anchor the corrugated sheets to, to stop them blowing away
in a storm, rather than to take their weight.

Can you risk departing from the details here, even though the roof
covering is obviously lighter than the council have in mind?
