No no no... lean to attached to house. Legs on one side only...
Big timber attached with expanding bolts to house horizontally, beams.off.of.that at right Angles.
Ill use joist hangers above the timber on wall to secure the stickyouty beams as well as them being screwed to the timber...

Legs only need to stop the other side dropping

I put a lot of thought imto the port itself.
Ground works the difficult bit for me

Obviously with some side. I even have the spreadsheets with timber sizes and prices, including all fixings needed. I have a bracket that's better than a joist hanger :twisted:

Rob, don't waste time, put a proper slab down that you can work on. Anything that you can't safely put an axel stand on isn't worth it.
