Hi guys,

 

I'm looking to convert our entrance deck into a small sunroom and I've got couple of questions regarding my concept.

 

a. The simplest idea I can come up with is to "wall" one side with large window and the other side with a sliding door - don't have to worry about cladding, very little framing, clean look. But I'm open to other simple ideas if you can think of any.

 

b. The plan is to build a simple frame to house the door/window then use concrete anchor screw bolt to attach it to the exterior wall (stucco). Is that going to be stable and strong enough without ripping the wall out?

 

Thanks.

I believe that as soon as you start adding new structure attached to old structure then the Building Code and Consent process will apply. So I don't think it will be quite as simple as you think.

I am sure there are far more knowledgeable people on here who can provide greater clarity.

That could be an issue. I was going with the info on the building website that: Building work in connection with the closing in of an existing veranda, patio, or the like so as to provide an enclosed porch, conservatory, or the like with a floor area not exceeding 5 square metres.

 

But as you said, hopefully someone more knowledgeable can correct me.
