Building Our Sun Lounge

I use mine as a room, spend a lot of time in it. OH should have made it bigger though. It’s oblong not square. The length of the house, but he could have gone bigger on the long side where the garden is. We have the door on the left short side, like a proper back door, no french windows in it. It gets very warm in Summer & very cold in Winter, but it’s my room. :grinning: :grinning:

Oh yes I remember the stifling heat in the summer - it was south facing.
Totally the opposite in winter… absolutely bloody freezing!

If I’d had a particularly long dash around, meet myself backwards day, it was sheer heaven to get back home, sit in there put my feet up, cuppa at the side and enjoy…

That’s a nice job. There are certain things that I consider to be Black Arts. Bricklaying and plastering being two of them.

Mine faces South too.

Thanks, Fruitcake. OH was good at DIY & he was a sheet metal fabricator too by trade. Hence the steel surround of the sun lounge. He built that at work too, like a flat pack. :grinning:

Sun rooms seem a very English thing, my old man built one on the back of our house in Folkestone in the 1950s, it’s greenhouse for humans isn’t it?

I guess that is exactly what they are. The modern detached houses have them already built in & some are spectacular. Ours is a modest size, mainly it was for our dart board originally.

Im from Scotland what’s this sun thing you talk about …

seriously great job well done
