FAQs
What is a lean-to gazebo?
A lean-to gazebo is designed to be installed against an existing wall, such as a house or outbuilding. It uses posts and rafters for support, making it ideal for maximising space while creating a sheltered outdoor area.
What’s the difference between a pergola and a lean-to?
A pergola is typically freestanding and supported by four posts, while a lean-to is fixed to a wall. Lean-to structures are perfect for patios and smaller gardens where space efficiency is important.
Is the Katepal brown shingle lean-to weatherproof?
Yes, when installed with a waterproof membrane and maintained regularly using Osmo Oil, the lean-to provides reliable protection against rain and changing weather conditions.
What are Katepal shingles made from?
Katepal shingles are manufactured from SBS-modified bitumen, giving them excellent flexibility, tear resistance, and long-term durability in outdoor environments.
Are the timber components pressure treated?
All structural timber components are fully pressure treated to protect against rot, moisture, and decay. Roofing treatment may vary depending on the option selected.
Do I need planning permission for a lean-to gazebo?
In most cases, planning permission is not required, provided the structure meets permitted development guidelines. We always recommend checking with your local authority for complete peace of mind.
Installation
Does the lean-to arrive fully assembled?
No, the lean-to is supplied in kit form. Clear, step-by-step instructions are included, making installation straightforward for competent DIYers or professional installers.
Are all fixings included?
Yes, all required fixings are supplied with your lean-to kit, so you won’t need to source additional hardware.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Can I paint my lean-to gazebo?
Yes, water-based paints or stains can be used once the timber is fully dry. Applying UV protection before painting is recommended for the best finish and longevity.
What maintenance is required?
We recommend treating the timber every six months with Osmo Oil and periodically checking for dirt build-up to keep your lean-to in excellent condition.
How long will the lean-to last?
With proper installation and regular maintenance, your 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.
