Lean-Tos: One of The Most Popular Pole Building Accessories

Whether you simply like the look, or you want to create some additional space in your pole building, a lean-to is a great solution. As you consider the possibility of adding a lean-to to your building, it’s important to understand what exactly a lean-to is, how it can affect the look and function of your building, and how much it will cost. To make your decision easier, we’ve laid out everything you need to know about lean-tos for pole buildings below.

What Exactly Is A Lean-To?

In our glossary of pole building terms, we explain that a lean-to is an extension from a building with a sloped roof that “leans” on the structure for support. In simpler terms, a lot of people know a lean-to as a porch, or a number of other names, such as awning or overhang. Lean-tos on pole buildings can either be open or enclosed, meaning that they can either have walls that match the rest of your pole building, or they can simply have a roof and posts. There are all sorts of reasons you might want to incorporate a lean-to into your building plans. Whether you’re constructing a she shed, a workshop, or a pole barn for livestock, a lean-to can boost the overall usefulness of your building while also allowing you to customize the look. You can use a lean-to for anything from extra covered storage space to an additional “room” in your building. Another huge perk of adding a lean-to is the fact that you can completely transform the aesthetic of your building. For example, a standard gable building can easily be mistaken for a monitor building when you add a lean-to to each side.

How Much Does A Lean-To Cost?

A lean-to will cost around $15 to $17 per square foot, depending on whether you go with the open option (like on this building), or the enclosed option (like on this building). Lean-tos are incredibly versatile pole building accessories that can enhance your experience with your pole building in a number of ways. Now that you have a clear picture of what a lean-to is, contact us to talk about how we can incorporate lean-tos into your building plans!

Do you need planning permission to change a garage into a room?

Planning permission is not usually required to convert your garage into additional living space for your home, providing the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building.

hastings.gov.uk - Do I need planning permission to convert my garage?

Planning permission is not usually required to convert your garage into additional living space for your home, providing the work is internal and does not involve enlarging the building. However, sometimes permitted development rights have been removed by condition which may prevent a garage from being able to be converted without planning permission. This is often the case if your property is located in a housing estate. A condition attached to a planning permission may also require that the garage remain as a parking space. In such instances you will need to apply for permission to vary or remove the condition.

What to do if permitted development rights have been taken away

In cases where permitted development rights have been taken away by a condition attached to a previous planning permission, you will need to submit a planning application to vary or remove that condition. Application forms and fees can be found on the Planning Portal website. You can also download forms from the Planning Portal website. See Further guidance on making an application and information needed to register an application. With such applications, the Council may need to consider, amongst other things, whether the loss of the parking space within the garage would have a harmful impact upon highway safety.

Listed Buildings

Where work is proposed to a listed building, listed building consent may be required. Find out if your property is a listed building. If you wish to know if your property has had its 'permitted development' rights for garage conversions removed you can email us. See fee for this service.
