You don't need a really heavy rafters for a lean-to roof 10' wide. As others have noted you do need to address how far the snow has to fall off the barn roof you are attaching the shed too. (IMPACT Load) from barn roof. It makes no difference how big of 2Xs you use for rafters, it is how well they are attached to the main structure. I have seen decks totally ripped of houses, where the ledger plate was improperly fastened, or joist straps weren't used. I built this 11x82' lean-to on the north side of my shop 6 years back. As you see, I have no worries about impact loads and this structure recently withstood the 32" snow storm we got without any problems. The ledger plate on the gable end of the shop is thru bolted on the studs with 5/16' redi-rod. The plates are 2x6s, rafters, 2x4s, and furring strips for purlins and left over steel and other salvaged components from building projects when I was a contractor. It was a cheap build and is serving me well. Loren

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
