Good Evening All,
I had the foundations poured and am ready to get the bricks laid on my summerhouse build. Its just a basic rectangle shape about 3m by 4.5m. Its being built with a cavity, facing bricks on the outside and thermalites on the inside. This is being built under PD so I cannot go above 2.4m with the total height. I am torn between having a slate slope roof or going for a fibreglass roof, anyone with more experience have an opinion on what's best?
Which would give me the most height internally, and which is easiest to construct? Knowing that I cannot go above 2.4m high, would you have a set of patio doors made up to 1800mm high as oppose to the usual 2010mm.
I am anticipating having 3 courses of engineering bricks above ground, which would be a total of about 220mm give or take, then if you add 2010 for the patio doors only leaves me a total of 170mm to sort some form of roof out.
Any opinions greatly received, sorry if the above doesn't make much sense
