Hi, this structure does have a glass roof so that it can be used all year round.

Thank you so much - that sounds ideal. Do you have any clearer photos of how the glass roof looks?

Should I paint this 250 year old oak beam?

Karin, thanks for your suggestion . The bricks surrounding the fireplace and forming the canopy are over 200 years old and each one is handmade. Although you can't see from the picture, each one is unique with different shading, sizing and surface markings. This style is very traditional in the part of France where we live. Where we can, we are trying to restore and retain the original features of the house. If we painted the bricks we would destroy something that took a craftsman almost a month to restore . The bricks had been cemented over at some point in the last 50 years and we rediscovered them when we restored the fireplace . Many of the original bricks couldnt be saved so we toured salvage yards to find authentic replacements. The entire house is over 250 years old so each room and every feature in each room has a different story to tell. The roofing timbers for example came from the hull of a ship and date from about 1700. When the ship was no longer in use the timbers were salvaged for the roof. How they got them here is a mystery. We are 150 km from the sea. That's a long journey by horse and cart.

back door needs shelter

Hi Houzz people. Sorry about this very poor quality photo of the back kitchen door of my small suburban house. The bespoke gate/railings are to contain my lovely dog, essential! In winter the back kitchen door is lashed with rain from the North East, not great for the solid white oak flooring within. I really can't afford to build a conservatory (which anyway would eat into my small patio garden) but I really do love the 'mud rooms' that they have in US... Mud/utility room where dirty wet things can dry out for next time? Don't know if a door canopy would work? Don't know if a pergola with polycarbonate roof would work? Has anyone had this problem and how did you resolve it please?

That is a rather large fence isn’t it! I’d pop a bit of trellis up and grow a couple climbers to fill any gaps between shrubs. Clematis Montana is fairly fast growing and looks great in spring but I think many climbers will love that sunny position. Honeysuckle, jasmine, Passion flower etc. (just be aware that clematis likes it’s roots in the shade where it’s cool and damp). I have a similar situation with my neighbour as their garden is higher than ours and I attached some expanding trellis with zip ties to their fence so as not to damage it. Now growing a beautiful climbing rose and may need some more trellis at this rate (see pic). Since your fence is separate I think you can get panels that sit on top. Can’t wait to see the pergola:))

Unfortunately I don't have any close up photos showing the roof detail. The construction is very simple. The glass is in four sections with each piece spanning the width. They are secured to the spanning timbers.
