bodach Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi, Any budding builders on here, I want to make a porch 1.5m x 2m, that size I don't need planning permission. Place to leave boots, coats etc., I have looked for plans on the net and all are American walk round porches. Can get a UPVC but at £1,700 way too much, looking to make it out of timber on a concrete base. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimlet Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 £1700 for a UPVC porch unit doesn't sound bad at all to me, if its a proper porch with a front door and correctly fitted with abuttment trays along the roof line (assuming yours is a cavity wall). You can build a basic timber sided canopy cheaply enough but it depends how dry and secure you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul T Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) I designed a new-build vet's surgery a few years back and the entrance was via a porch of very traditional pitched roof, timber construction on a concrete base. PM me your email address and I'll gladly send you a PDF copy of the drawing. I'm a real stickler for detail so you should have everything you need drawn out - just increase the dimensions as you wish. Does that help?

team tractor Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 I know you can't build a canopy without planning but can brick the front of my house up with a drawing and regs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
