Hi folks. I'm looking for advice and opinions please...
I have a 3 sided conservatory built with dwarf walls, upper hardwood frame and polycarbonate roof.
On the weather facing end (2.8m long) the timber that makes the internal frame has rotted away where the uprights and mullion cross members meet. The external surround of the frame is fine.
I was thinking about doing the following at both ends so they match.
Cutting out the uprights and mullions to leave the rectangle frame.
Replace with 2x4 uprights with cross members like a stud wall creating an aperture for a upvc window in the centre
Board up externally with ply and then horizontal t&g cladding finished with a nice colour
plasterboard internally with insulation in between.
Any thoughts or issues?
Thanks in advance.
Jim
