This video shows the project progress in building a sideway lean-to alongside the house. i use the C&A Plastics Glen Glazing system with 10mm Twinwall sheets
Love the Wife's contribution "haven't you got a downpipe" haha - Lovely job Clive, loads of extra dry space - Will help me with my project, especially seeing those brackets
Thank you for sharing this project with all of us. I must say you make the most use of your space as is possible. The polycarbonate sheets are very lightweight. An 8mm twinwall sheet only weighs .41 pounds per square foot. So, a 4' x 8' sheet would only weight about 13 pounds. It is amazing how durable they are considering how light weight they are. Tammy
gas engineer here, you're boiler could well be now classed as 'At Risk' you should check your boilers manufactures instructions to see, looks like a glow worm or Vaillant.
Hi Clive, well done it's looks like it has been done by professional! I like it a lot, but if I could make something to make it more secure I would place one aluminium or steel bar in the middle of the plastic sheet from top to the bottom and drill 5 hols and screw the bar to the timber on the top attached to the house (1screw) , 3 screws to the batten in the middle to the plastic sheet and last 5th srew to the timber post. I think this would make it more secure so even wind couldn't lift the sheet up. I'm planning to do something very similar what you've done thank you for sharing this project with RU-vidrs ;) hope what I wrote above make sense to you. Rgds Ján
Clive, It looks great, but did you need to put more posts in, thus losing width from your side passage? Could you have just fixed to the existing fence uprights? Kind regards, Lee
Great project and done very well. I need to get something very similar done. Might try it myself after watching this. What did you use to cut the roof panels to size?
Hi Clive you mentioned the 10mm twinwall was 1500mm (shortened to 1250mm) in length but what was the width? Was it 700mm wide? I am trying to foresee any problems regarding fixing it from above with regards to reach etc. Many thanks!
Hi Jay Yes each panel was 700 wide which made the fitting of each easier moving from one to another. was quite easy to fit although i had to have access from my neighbours side for the final screwing down.. Good luck on your project
Hi Clive, in other video's I've seen the installer slides the bar caps up from the lower end. Like you, I don't have that space so I wondered how you got the capping in regards Paul
Hi Paul I seem to remember that you could click it in to place from above and not slide it in. I certainly did not have much space to slide the bar into place Hope it goes well
Very nice job mate. I need mine done but need someone help Can you give me details or screws and the plastic roof thing please where can order for mine
