Lean-tos
A night of sleep in the wilderness, sheltered from the elements in a log lean-to, is part of an Adirondack tradition dating back to simpler times. Though they have been around for hundreds of years, they have not outlived their usefulness. If you have ever spent a day hiking over peaks in the North Country, you may know the comforting sight of a lean-to as you round the last bend at the end of a long expedition.
A lean-to can be a refuge, a retreat, a shelter, a lunch spot, an inspiration point, and a home away from home. Now you can begin new traditions near a babbling brook, or perched on your mountain with a view of the landscape. In a solid handcrafted lean-to from the Adirondack Lean-to Company. The inside dimensions of our standard lean-to are 12 feet by 8 feet. This is enough room to comfortably sleep 6 people. The height from the floor to the peak is around 8 feet. Most folks buy a standard kit and then pick the roofing and extras to make their lean-to perfect for them. For more information on roof types, cost, and assembly see pricing.
