Description
Hand-crafted in the heart of Devon, the Wooden Lean-To Gazebo with Cedar Featheredge Roof is designed to create reliable, light-filled shelter while making efficient use of wall-adjacent garden space. Built for strength and longevity, this lean-to structure offers excellent stability and resilience, making it a practical solution for patios, plant-growing areas, or sheltered seating zones.
By fixing directly to an existing wall, this gazebo transforms underused exterior space into a functional outdoor feature without overwhelming your garden layout. Its thoughtful design balances protection and openness, ensuring the area beneath remains bright, usable, and inviting.
Cedar Featheredge Roof
The cedar featheredge roof delivers natural character alongside strong weather performance. Overlapping featheredge boards encourage effective water runoff, helping to protect the structure during wet conditions. Cedar’s lightweight nature also makes handling and installation easier compared to heavier timbers, without compromising on durability or visual quality. The result is a roof that feels both refined and robust.
Lean-To Structure
Designed to provide shelter while still allowing plenty of natural light, the lean-to format is ideal for spaces where brightness matters. Whether you’re creating a covered garden seating area or a protected zone for plants, this structure offers dependable coverage without enclosing the space.

FAQs
What defines a lean-to gazebo structure?
A lean-to gazebo is designed to attach directly to an existing wall, using that structure for support. This creates a highly stable build while making efficient use of space next to a house or garden wall.
How does a lean-to differ from a standard pergola?
Lean-to gazebos rely on a wall connection for support, whereas traditional pergolas are usually standalone structures supported by four posts. Lean-tos are ideal where space is limited or where wall-mounted shelter is preferred.
Does the cedar featheredge roof provide reliable weather protection?
Yes. The overlapping featheredge boards encourage effective water runoff. When paired with an optional waterproof membrane and maintained correctly, the roof offers dependable protection in wet conditions.
Is the timber treated for long-term outdoor use?
All structural timber components are pressure treated to protect against rot, moisture, and insect damage. Roofing materials are treated separately according to their specific characteristics.
Can this lean-to gazebo be made to custom dimensions?
Yes. Alongside the standard size range, bespoke options are available, allowing the gazebo to be tailored precisely to your wall length and outdoor layout.
Do lean-to gazebos usually require planning permission?
In many cases, lean-to garden structures fall under permitted development rules. However, regulations vary by location and property type, so checking with your local council is always advised.
Installation
Is the gazebo delivered fully built?
No. The gazebo is supplied in kit form to allow easier delivery and handling. Detailed written instructions are included to support straightforward installation.
Are all fixings supplied with the gazebo?
Yes. All standard fixings required for assembly and securing the structure are included with the kit.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Can the gazebo be painted or stained?
Yes. Once the timber has fully dried, water-based paints or stains can be applied. A UV-protective finish is recommended to help maintain colour and appearance.
What ongoing maintenance is recommended?
Regular checks, light cleaning, and applying a suitable wood treatment every 6–12 months will help maintain performance and appearance over time.
What lifespan can I expect from this lean-to gazebo?
With correct installation and routine care, the structure is designed to provide reliable service for 10–20 years or more.

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.
