I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'garage' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'tilt in the direction of' is the wordplay.
'tilt' becomes 'lean' (synonyms).
'in the direction of' becomes 'to'.
'lean'+'to'='LEAN-TO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lean-to that I've seen before include "Attached outbuilding" , "Simple building" , "Rough shelter lying against the wall of a building" , "Add-on building" , "Structure whose roof has only one slope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
