Is amazing what could be done with reclaim wood,I myself get to come across some good wood every now and then in my job and I get to enjoy building some very useful things for free.with this video you show the perfect example great work thank you for sharing God bless....
Curious about the glass. I want to use standard thickness double-panel sliding glass door panels - 3/4" overall. Did you have any issues separating the frames from the glass? I also plan on using a method of mounting using tape or silicone and rubber setting blocks to rest the glass on. I'm going to use composite trim to hold the glass against my framing.
No. The weight of the roof is on the header. That weight is distributed through the wood that frames the glass. There is a gap on the top so the glass is not touching the wood. So the weight is not on the glass directly.
@@TheRegenerativeHome Thanks. My initiative would be to erect two uprights to take the full weight of the roof, which would allow the glass to be sealed properly. For an extra few bucks, I would be more confident in that method. BUT you have given me some ideas now, which I would not have thought of doing. I do have the opportunity to grab some sliding glass doors and I also have quite a bit of wood laying around. Great video, thank you.
I am actually working on very similar project. I am still confused of the routing depths for the vertical and horizontal pieces. So the verticals are 1/2” routed depth and horizontals are 3/4” deeply routed? Or just the top horizontal and one side of the panel. My glass appears to be 1/4” thickness so maybe I need to also route the vertical and horizontal wood pieces 1/2” wide to allow 1/8” on both sides of glass. Please confirm.. Thank you so much for your help!
Make the routing whatever thickness your wood will allow without going more than 1/3 of the wood. And allow an 1/8 to o 1/4 of expansion for the glass so it is not super tight
@@CBDguitar I'm thinking that if you were to take the glass out of the frame, you would break the seal (if it is still sealed) and allow moisture to form between the panes, which is a common but not frequent occurrence with double pane windows. The double pane sliders could be used intact, just framing them in between the studs.
Would it be possible to do a traditional drywall instead of the windows? I'm looking to do something like this on top of my existing deck. Essentially wanting to do something like this for an office instead of spending tens of thousands on an addition
I found a stash of 54 sliding doors for next to nothing and have been thinking of building a solarium but also using the glass for the roof. Was there a reason why you didn’t?
Great, in my opinion that is how much sunrooms should cost. the pros are offering it at 100K and it desn't look like much being a pre fabricated pile of generic plastic. Better do it yourself and customize everything
I applaud you for your efforts and trying to use and recycle reclaimed items. But your 3 inch supports are lacking and actually quite dangerous. You did put quite a lot of thought into it with the glass expansion and contraction. However the weight distribution is off and shift can cause an explosion of glass. I am hoping it is safety glass, which I imagine you would not be using if it was not. The problem here is the lift forces with wind. your structure has to be anchored down. Collapse is not as big of an issue as lift and blow off the house. I am only critiquing this as I would hate for someone to DIY a sunroom with glass and experience a dangerous shatter and injury due to possible collapse or wind lift. If this was a screened in room I would have refrained from commenting but the glass took my fear to a whole new level. But I do commend you for your efforts, you did put a lot of thought into it.
@@TheRegenerativeHome That is a good thing. I would consider Simpson ground anchors as added protection. Again I applaud you for recycling and also your creativity here! Kudos to you.
I'll be honest I think the roof sucks, I think you should have made trusses that come off the roof like it was still the roof and use glass on the roof as well it would have been better and easier to heat in the winter.

Love this! Looks fantastic I've wanted to make a lean to sunroom but super intimidated.
You can do it! Member don't let perfection be the enemy of progress!
Great looking build, 'well explained, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I really like the fiberglass roof- I enjoyed this explanation- thank you!
Be proud if your work ! Looks fantastic !
Thanks!

Awesome ! Thanks for sharing. Your newest sub !
Wulfy
Thanks man!
thank you for this video,this will look perfctly on my house
Perfect!
Great work
Thank you!
you have a washer and dryer in your solarium.

Sounds like an interesting design. Those panes are all single pane glass.
So I'm not sure if you're going to have difficulty taking out the double pane or not
so the weight of the roof is directly on the glass pains? Are there no upright posts to support the roof beside the glass frames?
No. The weight of the roof is on the header. That weight is distributed through the wood that frames the glass. There is a gap on the top so the glass is not touching the wood. So the weight is not on the glass directly.

What a great job you did! Are the glass panels that you removed from the patio doors double paned?
Is it possible to do what you did using double pane patio door glass? Can double pane glass be removed from a patio door like single pane glass?

You would just build a normal frames wall
Hey man! How did you connect/attach it to your existing deck?
I think with some structural wood screws. Best of luck!
cute baby!

Just more time and engineering. The Challenge would be to get them not to leak at the joints of the windows.
Looks Awesome, What kind of Sealant did you use and did you use double pain glass that has the argon gas still in it ?
There are no side walls. Single pane glass.
My preferred clear sealant is lexel. It is hard to work with but lasts
@@TheRegenerativeHome level are you talking that stuff at home depot and lowes?
@@themaximusone lexel
Why not just keep sliding glass doors so you can open for breeze

Interesting. Very low wind area there even in big storms.
Recycled sliding glass doors are always tempered glass

Ok. The intention of the design was to use reclaimed material. There is no side wall so insulation is irrelevant.
