Self Build Conservatory

Hi Everyone,

I have been thinking about going down the self build conservatory route as the extension idea seems to be a no-go, but just wanted to find out if anyone has had any experience in these??

The ones I am looking at have one of those self leveling steel bases that are suspended off the floor on padstones and also with a dwarf wall. It looks like a modular system and pretty straight forward:eek: lol.

Any info or advise would be greatly appreciated.

Gary.

    I used a steel base for a conservatory and it was very easy to install on poured concrete pads. It is not self levelling, you have to adjust the legs to level it up. Quite easy to do. I can't comment on the dwarf wall as I did not incorporate one into the construction.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
