Flash (lean to)

    Hello,
    I am building a lean to shed against my existing garage wall. I am concerned about water ingress where the concrete wall and timber met. I was looking at some flashing but I am unsure of my options. I haven't used flashing and if I can I would like to avoid lead. I see on US Youtube videos there seems to be aluminum strips that be fitter but I can't seem to find anything similar.
    Any advice?
    thanks

    What is the roofing material?
    Is the wall a smooth finish?
    Will the roof support your weight?

    I am thinking about felt over ply for the finish. It will only be to store logs so no need for anything too tough.
    The garage wall is smooth, yeah.
    I don't plan on ever walking on it!

    thanks

    How will you felt and flash if you don't know if it will take your weight?

    Ah, looking to catch me out eh!? I was more thinking I wouldn't be using the roof as anything day to day. It should (will) hold me while I roof it and tie into the garage wall.
