Thanks so much everyone - this has been great. Sorry for the lack of response - been flat out!!!! It must be hard for you American guys to work on such old English designs.... The ideas have gradually culminated into what really would look good on the house. Ourfarmhouse - these are absolutely great ideas, and thanks Everything Beautiful for getting the jist and putting the ideas onto the house image - nothing like seeing an actual design on your own home. We've got an architech working on it, and he's keen on the iron-wrought idea... but we're not sure. Basically toss-up with this and Everything Beautiful's design (2 above). Going with a four-pannel door, but would like to incorporate some glass somewhere! Possibly a panel above with the house name engraved on it?? Victoria - absolutely right...! We don't need to sit outside with the weather.......... say no more! Just wanting something to cover yourself while you're unlocking the door. We've also done a tour of the local areas, and found a couple of porches - amazing what you find right on your doorstep! Will attach pics shortly...

Always a no to fake grass from me. it would cheapen the effect you have created so much. It always looks tacky. Some more plants would look great. Evergreen agapanthus would give year round green with beautiful spikes of purple flowers in the summer 😊

I am currently involved in a project where we have buried the offending structure partially in a raised timber bed and planted a range of groundcover shrubs around the access - including: Pachysandra terminalis, Cotoneaster dammeri, Cornus canadensis to name a few. Good Luck!

Hi Cowen, Just as a slight disclaimer before I answer your question, you might need planning approval and you probably will need building control and structural calculations for an awning (especially that size), whether it is glass or polycarbonate. There are loads of companies that architects use daily such as ID systems and IQ glass for glass awnings and roofs, Samson Awnings for Polycarb and Luxaflex for gorgeous material blinds. Glass, as you said will require more support and larger structure to hold it. If you are looking for something elegant and light, you can have something in glass,but it will more than likely cost a bit more (unless you are lucky and find the perfect off-the shelf product). I haven't used polycarbonate here in the UK, but it was one of my favourite materials to use when I was working in Australia. These days, there are UV coatings, so don't worry about discolouration, just ensure when you specify the polycarbonate type and style that you also request a UV coating and check how long it lasts and whether it will need reapplication etc. Depending on what is around your awnings, both polycarb and glass can get dirty and scratched. Glass less so, especially if you get self cleaning glass that will ensure it is sparkling and clean most of the time. The main thing that I would say with polycarb is if you opt for the empty core version (not solid that looks like glass) then ensure that the edges are filled in. Polycarb will look hideous once all the insects and spiders make their home in the perfect little holes that give Polycarb its awesome shimmering look. That means I would definitely design a frame around the edge (and secretly fill in the gaps with either a silicone or something else that the awning manufacturer specifies (a frame alone isn't enough, once the insects get in you will hate your gorgeous awning, so take all precautions to make sure the edges are sealed) - preferably matching the colour of the polycarb, see my examples attached. Also if you opt for a glass awnings / pergola and you want to get rid of that green tinge that glass gives you, specify low iron glass to get crystal clear, nice glass ;-) I hope this helped you! Jo
