FAQs
What is a lean-to gazebo?
A lean-to gazebo is a timber structure designed to be installed against an existing wall. It uses a combination of wall fixings, rafters, and front posts to create a strong, sheltered outdoor space that integrates seamlessly with your property.
What is the difference between a pergola and a lean-to?
A lean-to gazebo is fixed to a building wall for support, whereas a pergola is typically freestanding and supported by four posts. Lean-to designs are ideal for maximising space and creating a sheltered area directly off a house or outbuilding.
Is the Katepal grey shingle lean-to gazebo weatherproof?
Yes, when a weatherproof membrane is installed and the timber is adequately maintained with Osmo Oil, the gazebo provides reliable protection against the elements.
What are Katepal shingles made from?
Katepal shingles are manufactured from SBS bitumen, offering excellent flexibility, strong tear resistance, and long-term performance in varying weather conditions.
Are the timber components pressure treated?
Yes. All timber components are pressure treated for enhanced resistance against rot and decay. Roofing materials may vary depending on the option selected.
Do I need planning permission for a lean-to gazebo?
In many cases, lean-to gazebos can be installed under permitted development rules. However, regulations can vary, so we recommend checking with your local planning authority before installation.
Installation
Does the lean-to arrive fully assembled?
No. The gazebo is supplied in kit form for easier handling and delivery. Comprehensive frame and roofing manuals are provided, making installation straightforward for both DIY installers and professional fitters.
Are fixings included?
Yes. All fixings required for installation are included as part of the kit.
Aftercare and maintenance
Can I paint my lean-to gazebo?
Yes. Water-based paints can be used once the timber is fully dry. For best results and longevity, we recommend applying a suitable UV protection treatment before painting.
What maintenance is required?
To maintain appearance and durability, we recommend treating the gazebo every six months with Osmo Oil. Periodic checks and removal of dirt or debris will also help prolong its lifespan.
How long will a lean-to gazebo last?
With proper care and regular maintenance, our lean-to gazebos typically last between 10 and 20 years, offering long-term value and dependable outdoor shelter.

Help with my new garage roof!
Trade Warehouse could not have been more helpful. They very patiently guided a roofing newbie through all of the stuff I would need to do the job and provided helpful tips along the way. It's rare to find a company offering such a fantastic level of customer service as standard. I would highly recommend them and will certainly use them again.

Garden Storage
My contractor (Charlie Keep) recommended you to me so I could order the materials online for delivery direct to my home. These were for a project to construct a Garden Storage Area. The materials were perfect and the whole process was simple and slick with materials delivered on time and very well packaged. Charlie has since completed the project & I am very happy with the outcome.
