Noooooo i got a better idea, put a false ceiling in with insulation above and you will be able to use it all year round

With both an uninsulated floor and uninsulated dwarf wall he is going to get about 1 months usage per year, max....

^ This.
Our house had a conservatory when we bought it, looked really smart and we thought it would be a nice space. It went from freezing cold to roasting hot in the space of about 20 minutes when the sun was out.

like most conservatories, makes sense to plan, you want a decent place, glass roof costs lots more, but makes a HUGE difference.

This space is basically a 5K dog kennel...A place for the collies to dry off and for muddy boots and raincoats to go.

I won't be sitting in it...The house I built is massive...but the laundry room is not big enough and quite frankly not ideal for dogs to dry off due to size...

I'll probably keep my mountain bike in it rather than walking over the stable block...where my motorbike is..Its basically more space...But its not living space...

Will be fantastic for the winter when I let the dogs out and they get all muddy and wet...

Basically a posh porch.

Zappa is all ready for it

If we'd built we'd have gone with glass.
We've just knocked it down to build an extension so it should be a more usable space soon.

lol I appreciate that, but surely the idea is increased light? As in a giant sunlight that is the roof? Yes, a false ceiling with insulation will work, but this isn't really giving the end result, fine if you move in somewhere with a poly roof, but if you have the choice yourself, go glass and pay the extra..

They love it...Really pleased with it...Jobs to do is just insulate the the floor with some 25mm Kingspan and put laminate flooring in so its easy to mop and hoover sand and stuff up...
