Dig those footings out properly!

Thursday August 26, 2010 at 11:34am

There can be nothing better after building your DIY conservatory than sitting in the finished item, thinking " I built this"! We do our bit here at the factory to make certain that what you ordered is what you get, and that it is top quality.

However, the most important part of the whole thing is the base - if you skimp on this, your conservatory could well end up like the Leaning Tower of Pizza after a couple of years, or even worse, end up detatching its self from your house and slowly - very slowly cruising away down the garden! This is particularly a problem on sloping gardens after heavy rainfall.

All this angst can be avoided just by digging out the base to the correct depth and if using a dwarf wall, going down at least 600mm depending on ground conditions Anyway, digging is defined as good exersize and that can be no bad thing for you, as any weight you loose digging out the base, you are sure to put back on lounging around in your conservatory!
