Turning a carport into a sunroom
Comments (3)insulated corrugated Colorbond steel roof with a galvanised corrugated steel ceiling as we were aiming to keep it cool/warm without a standard painted ceiling..we added one 75cm wide transluscent panel to add extra light over a kitchen window as our room is enclosed on 3 sides. Your space doesn't look big enough to have a problem with darkness but you may need to be careful not to improve/change it too much without Council approval. Our screens are made of black Sarlon stretched and stapled over timber frames (like a giant flyscreen) and the screens are then screwed to the framework of the pergola... quick and easy to install and remove for moving big furniture in and out...See MoreGarage/carport.....renovate?
Comments (25)Definantely keep the old garage, it's been there much too long to be considered illegal, your neighbour would also love the privacy it provides to both of you, we have a similar one next to our pool, we love it. Agree some gardening and clearing away some old bits and pieces. Just attaching a couple more photos, don't throw the plants away just repurpose them. the first photo is of a builders house, he used the existing garage as a games room with added pergola over original driveway, a second carport is off to the left looks brilliant (they get quite a lot of sun on this side). The next two are before and after shots of a mid centuary house similar to your's, the last photo is of our current house, flat roof garage is hiding solar panels, we have changed the colour pink to a more original one, grey green....See MoreDriveway and carport
Comments (7)Is there enough depth to allow for a carport/garage straight in on the brick paved area, this would be better use of the space, perhaps reuse existing carport but allow for light between the new carport and the building. You can use the large timber and metal auto sliding gate/fence that slides to the right side of the front boundary, you can have a smaller gate within this to allow pedestrian access to your front door, or have a separate entrance to the front door on the right hand side of your property....See MoreCarport/garage suggestions
Comments (2)the parapet (the flat wall sticking up on front of the garage) is sloping down and should look horizontal..if you add some fascia the same colour as the fascia on on the main roof it would look straight and widen the horizontal line and improve the look of the building and consider a lighter coloured garage door but, the cottage look with central path conflicts with the original style of the home...consider a simple horizontal slatted fence (painted to match the new lighter coloured garage door or white to match ethe trim on the house with a side gate off the driveway with a diagonal or curved path to the front door .. a front fence and garden always looks better...See More- 8 years ago
