FoxhillSteve 11 #1 Posted December 29, 2011 Hi, I've currently got decking on my back garden (approx 4.5m wide and 3m in length), and would like to use the space as another room as I'm short on living space. What are my options, I cant afford a conservatory with a dwarf wall as there coming out at over £6k. Does anyone know if there is a way that instead of using a dwarf wall that a combination of glass and upvc can be erected on top of my decking, or do foundations need to be built? I've seen some conservatories going second hand on eBay, but I dont think ive got the know how to put one up. Ive heard that having a room made of glass and upvc will be cold in winter and warm in the summer, but are they really that bad or can they be heated easy. I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible, has anyone had any experience of similar projects? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
