Just got done with a 4 x 6 lean to roof over an outdoor wood furnace.
2 pcs of thin ass galv. sheet metal. 5 pre cut 2 x 4's. 2 - 8 foot PT 4 x 4's. 2 60 # bags of concrete.
Just over $100 bucks. That's without any roof or deck screws.

Did you use that corrugated roof metal? I picked up a piece of that last year for a heat shield and though man how does anyone make a roof with this crap. So flimsy and thin.

Yep. I guess I'll be adding a lot of blocking. Luckily it's only 4 x 6. We don't usually have a big snow load, but I don't know if this crap will stand up to a heavy rain.

Hopefully the furnace doesn't turn it into a Ruffles potato chip.

Well, it rained last night and today. Luckily the $50 bucks worth of "faux decorator" sheet metal withstood the unimaginable force of water drops without me having to reinforce the structural integrity with aluminum foil.! 😝👍
