Outside shelter

7 years ago

I need rain shelter for my patio that can 'wrap' around my conservatory too. I don't mind if it's hard or soft material but I'd prefer it to be up all-year round Can anyone help?? Thank you

We've recently decided to install an awning, because it will provide shade for our new glazed doors and reduce heat gain without blocking the view and access to the garden (unlike blinds). It will also provide some privacy for our back extension and garden as we are quite overlooked at the back - so there's an addition to your list! Aesthetics, hmm well that would be a con for me, but they are getting much better looking especially the more minimal full cassette designs. (Not so keen on the stripes and frills personally!)

Lovely space Tani and I know what you mean about the warmth from the sun even on a chilly day. My considerably smaller kitchen is the same - the cosiest, warmest room in the house without any heating on at all. It’s like Siberia in the front room though ha! We bought an awning too and it’s just been fitted, so will help shade the room on a hot day, I hope!

Hi there! There are many things you could do. It sounds as though it would be worthwhile you considering upgrading your home thermally as well if there are several spaces that are cold and uncomfortable - this could be addressed alongside any work you get done. It's definitely not the case that an architect is necessarily a significant cost - in fact a good architect can save you more money than their fee by designing a more cost effective solution. For example I frequently save my clients tens of thousands on their projects, but I rarely charge that much! ;) You've done a great job at analyzing what you want and need to change. That's a great start. You could do with getting a bit more clarity around how you want to use the space - how would you ideally like the space to work for you and how you live. For example you mention that you could open up the kitchen to the dining room but you're not sure if you want a completely open plan space. That's really interesting. You also mention that you'd like to do something with the unused workshop - but you have many options for what it could be instead. What do you need or want most? Start off by thinking about what kind of space you would like - how do you live, how do you entertain, etc... what kind of space do you need to suit the way you live? Once you have that clear then you'll find it much easier to make the right decisions about how to alter the house to suit you best.
