This video shows the project progress in building a sideway lean-to alongside the house. i use the C&A Plastics Glen Glazing system with 10mm Twinwall sheets
Love the Wife's contribution "haven't you got a downpipe" haha - Lovely job Clive, loads of extra dry space - Will help me with my project, especially seeing those brackets
Thank you for sharing this project with all of us. I must say you make the most use of your space as is possible. The polycarbonate sheets are very lightweight. An 8mm twinwall sheet only weighs .41 pounds per square foot. So, a 4' x 8' sheet would only weight about 13 pounds. It is amazing how durable they are considering how light weight they are. Tammy
gas engineer here, you're boiler could well be now classed as 'At Risk' you should check your boilers manufactures instructions to see, looks like a glow worm or Vaillant.
Hi Clive, well done it's looks like it has been done by professional! I like it a lot, but if I could make something to make it more secure I would place one aluminium or steel bar in the middle of the plastic sheet from top to the bottom and drill 5 hols and screw the bar to the timber on the top attached to the house (1screw) , 3 screws to the batten in the middle to the plastic sheet and last 5th srew to the timber post. I think this would make it more secure so even wind couldn't lift the sheet up. I'm planning to do something very similar what you've done thank you for sharing this project with UA-camrs ;) hope what I wrote above make sense to you. Rgds Ján
Clive, It looks great, but did you need to put more posts in, thus losing width from your side passage? Could you have just fixed to the existing fence uprights? Kind regards, Lee
Hi Clive, in other video's I've seen the installer slides the bar caps up from the lower end. Like you, I don't have that space so I wondered how you got the capping in regards Paul
Hi Paul I seem to remember that you could click it in to place from above and not slide it in. I certainly did not have much space to slide the bar into place Hope it goes well
Hi Clive you mentioned the 10mm twinwall was 1500mm (shortened to 1250mm) in length but what was the width? Was it 700mm wide? I am trying to foresee any problems regarding fixing it from above with regards to reach etc. Many thanks!
Hi Jay Yes each panel was 700 wide which made the fitting of each easier moving from one to another. was quite easy to fit although i had to have access from my neighbours side for the final screwing down.. Good luck on your project
Great project and done very well. I need to get something very similar done. Might try it myself after watching this. What did you use to cut the roof panels to size?
Very nice job mate. I need mine done but need someone help Can you give me details or screws and the plastic roof thing please where can order for mine

nice video. My favourite part is where you're annoying your handwork in the rain and your wife points out there's no downpipe! 😂
helpful, thanks.
Well done, Looks great. Thanks for sharing.
Well done Clive looks great...exactly what i need to do at the side of my home

Greetings from Ireland.....!
Very helpful informative video Clive. I have a similar project in mind for my house.
Cheers, Tom
I specifically wanted to know how to put guttering in such a confined place...you skipped over the most difficult bit
Great job, thanks for sharing.
Great video!

Is there a way to higher the boiler flue?
Very useful thank you
Nice job mate
Well done! Do you fancy doing this in Cardiff? 😂😂
Hi looks great, how much was this in total if you don't mind me asking thanks

Hi Clive, Very nice job.Did you notice much loss of natural light in the room inside the house after you had installed this?
Thanks Dave. its not been a problem for us a we only have WC and utility windows under the cover. having said that it seem fine to us
Nice job.. May I ask rough budget required?
Hi clive did you use lead under posts and bolt to ground or bolt to wall please
Clive, It looks great, but did you need to put more posts in, thus losing width from your side passage? Could you have just fixed to the existing fence uprights? Kind regards, Lee
this is amazing, i have a similar sideway, however it is not the same width, one end wider than the other, any idea how to do it?
Hi Clive, in other video's I've seen the installer slides the bar caps up from the lower end. Like you, I don't have that space so I wondered how you got the capping in

Hope it goes well
How did you overcome the boiler flue? Cheers

Clive Horner Cheers Clive, thanks for the reply!
Correction : Each panel is 1000 mm wide with a central bar for support
Great project and done very well. I need to get something very similar done. Might try it myself after watching this. What did you use to cut the roof panels to size?
Hi can you tell me how long and wide this is please. Trying to see ahead of my project thank you.
Very nice job mate. I need mine done but need someone help
Can you give me details or screws and the plastic roof thing please where can order for mine
I bought all the stuff from C&A plastics www.cabp.co.uk
@@clivehorner7759 thank you so much. I hope I can do mine, its a little different mine as I do have 2 storage concrete roof.
Hi Clive.. did you bolt the posts to the slabs or did you dig down concrete them in? Thanks.
Hi, Clive did you use any End caps or just used more drip trim at the top under the gutter?
do you need planning permission to do this?
Hi Luke Well I didn't need to get it for my house. good luck for your project
Hi Clive. Thanks for the video. Can I ask what kind of screws you used to attach the batten to the house wall? Thanks!
nothing very special Jude. 5" heavy duty screws into plugs. i wish you well with your project
i guess it dont snow where you live??????
You guys must have no codes at all
In the end after much thought I felt ghetto there was enough ventilation to leave the vent as it was. Seems to be fine with plenty of air flow
Hi clive did you use lead under posts and bolt to ground or bolt to wall please
Hi clive did you use lead under posts and bolt to ground or bolt to wall please
Hi clive did you use lead under posts and bolt to ground or bolt to wall please
Hi clive , did you put lead under the ground posts and ary they ground fitted or wall bolted please
Hi clive did you use lead under posts and bolt to ground or bolt to wall please
No I failed to that which would have been a good idea. I did bolt to the wall however
