Custom Metal Lean-Tos

Lean-Tos

Extra Space Without Hassle

Regardless of if it's attached to a shop or freestanding by the fence line, we design lean-tos to do more than just withstand real use, not just mild weather.

Extend your space without rebuilding

A lean-to is the fastest way to add usable space to your shop, barn, or garage—especially for uncovered gear or heavy foot traffic.

Room to store, stack, and work


We construct lean-tos for items like hay, hose reels, and horse trailers to store bulky objects without obstructing flow or causing runoff problems.

Don’t underestimate the details


We make informed choices about roof pitch and post placement to avoid puddles, dripping edges, and awkward workarounds.

Welded to work like part of the building


No bolt-on brackets or wobbly overhangs—just clean, functional structure that holds up in all conditions.

Why Go With Us?

What to expect from our builds

Our crew puts the same care into your garage as we would our own. That means stronger steel, better layout, and no rushed finishes.

  • Welded trusses. No kits. 100% customizable.

    Some companies sell buildings. We build them. And when it’s your tools or gear inside, you need more than a bolt kit.

  • Built for slopes, storms, and hard use

    We design for real terrain, snow loads, and wind zones across WA, OR & ID — not just flat pads and fair weather.

  • Steel you can count on, backed by warranty

    10-year panels. 20-year frame coverage. When we say it’s built to last, we back it up in writing.

  • 20+ years of hands-on building experience

    We’ve welded, framed, and built from the ground up. Two trucks, two crews, and hundreds of custom garages and shops across WA, OR, and ID.

Make it yours

Every structure is welded to match your land, your layout, and your use. You select the layout, roof style, entry points, framing specs, upgrades, and more to match your use and property.

Size + Layout

Build it wide, tall, or wide open

We don’t work off templates. Choose your exact footprint, clearance, and flow—whether it’s a multi-bay shop, a clear-span workspace, or a slope-adjusted build.

  • Any width, depth, or height
  • Divided bays or open spans
  • Built to match your site elevation

Framing + Roofing

Welded strength. Smarter roof design.

We use welded trusses on every build—no bolt-together kits. Choose your pitch, roof style, and optional lean-tos or framed additions.

  • 3:12, 4:12, or custom roof pitch
  • Welded trusses standard
  • 12-gauge or 14-gauge framing
  • Optional lean-tos, overhangs, or gables

Doors, Windows, & Garage Doors

Place openings where they work best

We’ll frame for exactly what you need—roll-up bays, sliding doors, walk-ins, and windows. Every opening is placed to match your layout and your gear.

  • Overhead, sliding, or roll-up doors
  • Walk-in door and window options
  • Optional garage doors via our trusted install partner

Trim + Colors

Make it match—or stand out

You pick the panel, trim, and roof colors that work with your space. Want bold contrast or neutral tones? Either way, we’ve got a full palette ready.

  • Dozens of siding and roof colors
  • Custom trim packages
  • Optional gutters and downspouts

Add-Ons + Upgrades

Finish it with the details that matter

Your steel building should work the way you need it to. That means options like insulation, vapor barriers, anchoring styles, and more.

  • Insulation types for different use cases
  • Vapor barriers, vents, and gutters
  • Framing upgrades (12- or 14-gauge)
  • Anchors for concrete, rock, or mobile foundations

Foundations & Anchoring

Built to hold up—wherever you’re building

We match the anchoring system to your site—concrete, gravel, rock, or mobile-ready. From elevation and wind zones to soil type and spacing, we’ll help you plan a solid start.

  • Concrete slabs or footings
  • Rock, gravel, or pier block anchoring
  • Anchors for mobile or non-permanent sites

Need a design that doesn’t fit a standard category? We do that too.

  • Hybrid barndo/garage combos
  • Sloped, irregular, or multi-level structures
  • Buildings based on architect or engineer plans

LEAn-TO FAQS

Can I add a lean-to to an existing steel building?

Yes—as long as the original structure can handle it. If not, we can still create a new freestanding lean-to that works with your site.

What’s the ideal size for storing equipment or feed?

That depends on what you're covering. We’ll help calculate width, height, and access points based on your daily use.

Do lean-tos match the main building’s roofline?

They can! We build lean-tos to match pitch, color, and style—or design them differently if that fits your space better.

Can lean-tos be enclosed on one or both sides?

Yes—many customers choose to enclose one or both sides for extra protection. We can also leave it fully open.

Is a lean-to strong enough for heavy snow areas?

Yes—our lean-tos are engineered with the same welded framing and load calculations as our main buildings.
