Awning Designs to Add More Covered Space

Lean-To and Skillion Awnings

Lean-to awnings (also known as skillion awnings) are one of the most versatile ways to extend your shed or garage. With a single-slope roof, they attach easily to the side or end of an existing structure, creating additional covered space that’s both practical and cost-effective.

Whether you need extra storage, a shaded work area, or protection for vehicles and equipment, a lean-to awning gives you usable space all year round — rain, hail or shine. They’re a popular choice for residential, rural, and commercial properties thanks to their simplicity and flexibility.

  • Ideal for machinery, boats, trailers, and outdoor work areas
  • Attached to the End or Side of your shed
  • Options for full height or stepped-down designs
  • Up to 9m spans as standard (larger custom options available)

Awning Extensions for Garages

Garages don’t always fit perfectly on every block — tight boundaries, driveway access, or house positioning can limit what you can build. That’s where garage awnings come in.

Adding an awning to your garage is a simple, cost-effective way to increase your covered space without needing to extend the main structure. Whether it’s extra room for a second vehicle, a caravan, or just better weather protection, garage awnings give you flexibility where you need it most.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing or new garage, awnings can be added to any side and finished to match your building for a clean, cohesive look.

  • Extend coverage without a full garage extension
  • Can be open, partially enclosed, or fully enclosed
  • Matched to your existing shed or garage design
  • Engineered for site-specific wind conditions, including cyclonic areas

Extend Your Existing Shed

Need more covered space without starting from scratch? An awning extension can add practical room to your existing shed, garage or rural building, providing shelter for vehicles, caravans, machinery or outdoor work areas.

Designed around your existing building and how you plan to use the space, an extension can follow your current roofline or incorporate a different configuration to suit your property.

See how this works in practice in Greg’s caravan shed extension →, designed to provide additional covered space for his caravan.

Awning extension options include:

  • Add coverage to any side of your building
  • Varied roof pitches
  • Set down or full height options to continue the roof sheeting
  • Up to 9m span as standard (larger available as a custom design)
