thumb|upright=1.2|Lean-to tent shelter utilizing a car to support the roof

A lean-to is a type of simple structure originally added to an existing building with the rafters "leaning" against another wall. Free-standing structures open on one or more sides, generally used as shelters, are colloquially referred to as in spite of being unattached to anything.
