Tin roof lean to plans

Looking at building a simple tin roof lean to off of a 40’ shipping container and looking for some ideas/plans. If anyone has built some leantos in the past and would want to send some ideas my way that’d be much appreciated.
Also looking for ideas/suggestions for either building off of the container or just building next to it. Want to avoid drilling into container

Lean to roofs are the easiest ones to frame and finish. Why not weld bolts to the container and bolt your wood framework down to it. That way no drilling into the container and a much stronger roof to boot since it will be bolted down.

Pro tip: check square on your tin every 4th sheet.

Here is what I built last year:
i used 2x6 for the rafters, double 2x8 for the beams, 6x6 for the post. (4x4's probably would do the job, but look way too small/ugly)

The problem you are going to run in to is flashing your lean to so it won’t leak. You will need to anchor very close to the top of you container so your flashing can run on top of your shipping container.
