Some friends have an outdoor covered seating area, that is open at one end. It is attached to the house, and it is really delightful to go out and sit in it when it's raining! We sit comfortably and warm (in the summer) whilst the rain blasts down half a metre away.

That sounds like a great idea especially with the Great British weather.

Yes, although with a garden room, one can sit and contemplate one's rocks in the middle of winter too! :j(See pic 8)

Mum & Dad's conservatory beams are wooden so no issues with screwing hooks in. For upvc you could try a "sticky pad" version of hook.

I've tried that in ours, but the material we've tried has been too heavy.

I find it a bit random they appear to have bricked up the door between the kitchen and dining room and then not replastered!

Well I suppose if it's foggy outside and you can't see the landscape!

Is that not some sort of beaded curtain over the larder?

Have you tried calico? Or muslin/voile - but that might be too thin to block out the sun on second thoughts.....:o

I'm intrigued.

How can a house that big have no front door?

As I see it, one can enter through the kitchen or the side doors of the 'family room' which looks like an aircraft hangar. *confused face*
