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.
