Hello folks,

Just found this forum and decided to join. Somehow searching the internet I ran across you fine people and thought you would be a great resource to begin my next project. I was wondering if any of you have built a Lean-To of any fashion and if you had any plans or advice that you would be willing to share?

My father (with all us boys and a few of his friends) built our log home back in MN that we grew up in and I've always wanted to try a cabin myself. I figure I best start off with a shelter of some sort and see how she turns out before I tackle anything larger. I have an idea of what I want but was curious to know what experience you guys may have with Lean Tos and stacking logs in general? Butt and Pass through method, dove tail, standard knotch, chinking, etc? If lean-tos have been built by some members, what size worked for you in regards to back wall height, overhang, fire ring placement, etc?

Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Tomas
