What is a lean-to on a metal garage?

A lean-to is a lower, single-slope roof extension attached to the side of the main building. It can be left open, partially enclosed or fully enclosed.

Can the lean-to be enclosed later?

Often, yes. Walls can be added to a lean-to after installation, depending on how it was framed.

Can I add lean-tos on both sides?

Yes. Lean-tos can go on one or both sides, and on the ends, to build a barn-style layout.
