The term also applies to a variety of structures that are built using a lean to roof. One type of structure is free standing with only three walls and a sloping roof. The open side is commonly oriented away from the prevailing winds and rains. Often it is a rough structure made of logs or unfinished wood and used as a camping shelter. Temporary structures made from wood or textiles are also termed lean tos if constructed with a single slope of the roof. In some cases the sloping roof often extends all the way to the ground. Thus the sloping roof itself forms one of the three walls. It can also refer to a shed with a sloping roof and three walls that abut the wall of another structure. This form of lean to is generally provisional it is an appendix to an existing building constructed to fulfill a new need. Sometimes they cover external staircases, as is the case with the lean to building built in the 15th century against one of the walls of the large chapter room of the cathedral of Meaux. Sometimes, they are built to protect entrances or to establish covered markets around certain large civic buildings. ref fr s Dictionnaire raisonn de l architecture fran aise du XIe au XVIe si cle Tome 1, Appentis Dictionary of French Architecture from 11th to 16th Century 1856 ref Laavu Image Roninmaan laavu 1024.jpg thumb left 187px A laavu in the Pukala recreational forest A Finnish laavu , Swedish gapskjul or slogbod , or Norwegian gapahuk is also a lean to, small building intended for temporary residence during hiking or fishing trips in the wilderness.

History The Adirondack lean to was developed by guide s of the region as convenient Campsite camp to house hunting and fishing parties. The earliest of shelters were quickly and crudely built but they still offered shelter from the elements. As the Adirondacks developed, so did the lean to. The previous temporary structures were replaced by sturdy log structures. Made from what was available, Abies balsamea balsam or spruce logs were commonly used. Cedar wood Cedar has replaced these species as the primary log, due to its natural rot resistance and easy workability.
