Build Your Own Sunroom

Build Your Own Sunroom
By Ken Wilssens
If you have the skills, it is easier to build your own sunroom than have it contracted out. You will find there are many kits on the market to choose from and they are offered by sunroom manufacturing companies that will ship you the elements that are necessary to build your room. The main idea behind this is that you will save money by building it yourself, not only are you providing the labor but it will cut out the middleman in the process. Of course this will depend on your own particular situation and the bigger the room the more expensive it is going to be.
If you already have an existing deck, it will make it easier to know the location of your sunroom. It will also make it much cheaper to have the foundation already and you can just build on what you have. You will still need to measure the deck to get the proper measurements to order your kit. If it's the case that you don't have a deck already, then you will have to grade and level a place to start your foundation and you also have to find the best location for your sunroom.
If you want your sunroom to be heated or cooled by your existing system this makes it much more difficult. You will probably need help with that, but this is better than trying to cool or heat it yourself with fans and portable heaters. There are standard sizes and types of sunroom kits from the least expensive to the more expensive. Companies can mass-produce and sell them at a savings that is passed on to you. This doesn't mean that you can't find the designed that you're looking for.
The most common problems with do-it-yourself kits are that when you order you're simply not prepared for the type and amount of work that is involved. It is very important that you have the time and the capabilities to install this kit and by doing it yourself you are not going to get a guarantee. Of course materials will be guaranteed but the actual construction itself will not be.
