  • I hear you, but (and I don’t want this to send me straight to the clubhouse) we are not wanting for space/storage here. We have a big double length garage with small workshop space for storing stuff out of the way.

    At the moment the conservatory is being used as a greenhouse and bike storage which just feels like a waste as it gets great light. I think it would be a lovely place to eat/hang out as an addition to the garden and wouldn’t need much investment to convert.

  • We have a balcony with roof, and it's the best thing ever as the garden is two stories lower.
    What if you just got rid of the glass in a first step and have a balcony with roof?
    But the glass might be structural, no idea.

  • balcony with roof

    To take this another step on, what about a half living roof?

    Make it big enough to take a small bistro chair so you can sit on the balcony while it rains.

  • and @Nef

    Good to hear positive stories about this plan. I’m convinced it’s the way to go and am looking forward to getting rid of this plastic box ASAP
