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

Mmm :-D

So 2x6" timbers at 18" spacing? Does feel a bit overkill ...




Strewth Mmm
I think that's sounding like a first floor! :-)


The obvious question is what timbers does the garage roof have? This
lean-to is a similar size, I suppose.

The garage roof has the advantage of a parapet (if there is one), and
the garage is closed, so the wind can't get underneath the roof
covering. Will the lean-to have open sides or be closed in fully?


Good points.

The existing garage has at best 4x2s supporting an.old ply& felt
roofoverlaid with wiggly tin sheets. No parapet as
such.

The lean to I envisage will have a "hit & miss" well-ventilated
side & rear "wall" made of timber so yes potentially wind could
get under but we are very sheltered here...
