Conservatory base
Hi,
I am looking to build the base to my newly delivered conservatory in the next few weeks. The conservatory is one of the wooden Baltic Pine ones, and is a full height version, so that I do not have to build a dwarf wall. I need to build the base up a bit, as the ground level is about 14 inches below the floor level of the dining room that the conservatory is going to join to. I was thinking about building a base perimeter out of medium / high density concrete blocks, for the conservatory to stand on, and then an inner course of blocks on which to hand some 6 x 2 joists. I was then going to lay some foam insulation sheets between the joists, chipboard on top of the joists,and then maybe some laminite flooring to finish it off (it has to be easy clean for my twin boys !) Has anyone tried this before, and am I going about this in the right way ? I have looked into the steel base structures, but they seem quite expensive £800 + VAT. Thanks in advance, Paul... |
