Question about types of wood for lean to

[Larry1990]

Hi Guys,

I would like to build something like this https://www.barntoolbox.com/pdffiles/leanto-print-details.pdf but can't easily find some 4x4 or 6x6 C16 wood. Most places seem to stock 4x4 fence posts, would these be suitable for this or some alternative but not square C16 timber?

Cheers

Larry

The instructions only specify C16 for the 2" timbers in the build (rafters, headers, ledgers). The vertical posts just need to be treated - but I would try and get something decent from a good timber merchants rather than rubbish B and Q fence posts.

Hi cdbe,

Thank you for your advice, I have a meerchant I've used a couple of times not far from me so I will give them a call.

Cheers
