FAQs
What exactly is a lean-to gazebo?
A lean-to gazebo is designed to be fixed against an existing wall, such as your home or an outbuilding. This creates a sheltered outdoor area while using space efficiently and keeping the structure visually tidy.
How does a lean-to differ from a traditional pergola?
A pergola usually stands independently with four posts, while a lean-to relies on a wall for support. Lean-to designs are ideal where space is limited or when you want coverage directly outside your property.
Will the Katepal black shingle lean-to cope with bad weather?
Yes. When installed with a waterproof membrane and maintained with a suitable wood treatment like Osmo Oil, the structure performs well in rain, wind, and everyday outdoor conditions.
What material are the Katepal black shingles made from?
Katepal shingles are manufactured using SBS-modified bitumen, chosen for its flexibility, strength, and resistance to cracking or tearing over time.
Is the timber suitable for long-term outdoor use?
All structural timber is pressure treated to protect it from moisture, rot, and insect damage, helping the lean-to remain solid and reliable for years.
Do I need planning permission to install this lean-to?
In many cases, planning permission isn’t required if the lean-to meets permitted development guidelines. Regulations can vary, so it’s best to check with your local authority before installation.
Installation
Is the lean-to supplied ready built?
No. The lean-to arrives as a kit, which makes delivery and handling easier. Clear installation instructions are included to guide you through each stage of the build.
Are fixings included in the kit?
Yes. All fixings required to assemble the lean-to are supplied, so there’s no need to source additional hardware.
Can I install the lean-to myself?
Many customers do. However, due to the size and weight of the structure, having assistance or using a professional installer is recommended for best results.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Can the lean-to be painted or stained?
Yes. Once the timber has fully dried, you can apply water-based paints or stains. Applying a UV-protective treatment first will help maintain the finish.
How often should the lean-to be maintained?
We recommend re-treating the timber every six months and occasionally checking for dirt build-up or debris to keep the structure in excellent condition.
What lifespan can I expect from the lean-to?
With proper installation and routine maintenance, the lean-to gazebo can last between 10 and 20 years.

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.
