06/02/05 I would like to replace a first floor side porch with a conservatory. I would then like to build a porch on top of the conservatory. There is a doorway leading outside on the second floor. Can I get a conservatory with a top that's half glass and a back piece with "roofing" that would be suitable for the second floor use?

06/02/05 I'm designing my own sunroom to fit on part of my existing deck. My deck is 24x15. There are 2 24-foot beams supporting the deck; each beam is anchored with four posts. I want to build a 12x16 sunroom on one side of the deck. The sunroom will be wood frame construction with a gable roof. My question is: will the deck support the sunroom? Or will I need extra supports?

06/02/05 We plan on constructing home near Salinas, Ca. The home selected has a covered patio which is part of the main house. Would it be feasible to cover this area with translucent panels instead of regular roofing? Could you provide the name of Manufactures of these panels? thanks.

06/02/05 I have been shopping for a sunroom wall to enclose my U shaped patio. I only need front wall. My house tile roof extends out to cover the patio right now. This front wall will be all glass, including the kick pane. Some sunroom guys show me 2", 3" and 3" thermal broken walling. I really would prefer the whole wall to be glass. Should I consider the thermal broken walling instead of the glass. Should I go for the thermal broken aluminum frame? It costs a lot more.
