DIY conservatories are becoming extremely popular as people realize how cost effective and easy to install they are. But some questions keep popping up with regard to construction. One of the most frequent ones concerns foundations.
Some people assume that because a DIY conservatory is of the ‘do it yourself’ variety, it doesn’t need proper foundations. But because the building is a permanent structure it needs a proper steel base just like any other permanent structure does.
There are two choices you have here which you need to think about. Firstly you can have a solid concrete base with a low brick wall built onto it. The main part of the DIY conservatory is then built on top of this.
If you opt for this method you would need to get a builder to construct the base for you. You should also be prepared for it to take a while – and it could well be a messy task too.
Instead of doing this you could opt for an Durabase base. This has many advantages over getting a builder in – not least the fact that you can install it yourself.
This base comes with full instructions and you don’t need to have built a conservatory before to know how to install it. It meets all the legal requirements a conservatory base is required to meet, so you don’t have to worry about whether or not it is legal.
In addition to this you can bypass the need for a builder. If you are getting a DIY conservatory to put up yourself, the chances are you won’t be too worried about constructing a DIY conservatory steel base either. It could also mean you have the chance to save some more money which you could use elsewhere instead.
You might think that an Durabase base only comes in set sizes and shapes. But this isn’t true – if you have something very specific in mind it can be constructed to meet those needs. As you can see this could be just what you are looking for.
The foundations of a DIY conservatory need to be solid and permanent. And this is what the Durabase base offers. It has all the solidity of a traditional concrete base, but it is a lot cheaper and doesn’t require the use of tradesmen to install it either.
It is also a better bet to use this kind of DIY conservatory steel base if your site has some issues concerning it. For example, if you have a manhole or an existing patio you don’t have to allocate funds to either move the manhole or take up the patio. Instead you can lay the base straight over the top.
Wouldn’t you rather opt for an Durabase base and make life a lot easier?
