Even if you have never built anything in your life, you can build your own sunroom by using one of the kits that provide step-by-step instructions for each part of the construction process.
The guide that comes with these kits is well laid out and provides diagrams to accompany all the written instructions.
The kit contains the exact measurements for every piece and the pieces are labeled so all you have to do is consult the instructions to see where each one goes.
You won't even have to buy any nuts or bolts because all these are included as well.
The first thing you have to do when you decide you are going to build the sunroom yourself is to measure the area where you want it to go.
Start measuring from the fascia of your home and measure outward for the distance that you want.
Then measure the length of the sunroom between the sides.
You will also have to measure the height from the foundation of the sunroom to both above and below the eave of the home.
Then you can select a kit that fits your measurements.
Some retailers have certain sizes of kits while others will make up a kit to fit the measurements you provide.
You may have to modify the dimensions of your sun porch to fit the standard sizes if you want a ready -made kit for your needs.
It is important to do a good job of attaching the sunroom to your home.
If the sunroom fits below the eave, you won't encounter much difficulty with this part of the process.
You use 2 x 4's to build a frame around the doorway leading from your home and then attach the sunroom to this frame.
You do need to have a foundation in place, which can be a wooden platform, a concrete slab or an existing patio.
The door is included with all kits and you can mount this in either end and set the hinges on either the right or left side.
All sunroom doors swing outward to meet building codes and all are large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
