How can I use old windows to build a sunroom on my porch?
+14
I would like to build a sunny enclosed space under the roof of my porch to place plants during our central Virginia winters. I will need to build only two walls of a short lower solid wall of wood and then the top 3/4s will be recycled windows of various sizes. Oh, and a recycled door on one side. Any photos or ideas???

Hi there! These folks used salvaged glass doors but the idea is the same :) Might have to make one for us too! https://www.homestead.org/homesteading-construction/let-light-building-sunroom/

Hi! ?ots of good ideas! Check with local zoning about a permit and requirements. Good luck!

I thought I saw a project or two here similar, try the search bar at the top left. I have seen this online so give a search there and no doubt you’ll collect tips. But essentially, gather and arrange what you’d like to use, then build a frame to hold them.
Thank you all. How do I resolve this please? My RESOLVE THIS button does not seem to work! Now, to just get the hubby on board and wait for a little weather warm up!
