Too much wind here to tear the plastic if I tried to use it on the porch. There is nothing from the header to the concrete to anchor it to, but the decorative looking metal supports with intricate iron that looks like twining leaves... great way to tear anything that might rub against it too... There was enough wind damage done with the 1/2 greenhouse that was anchored on the deck against the house.. yet the wind took it apart... It is going to have to be a rigid form of "covering" so it will last. The porch is about 8x 30 or something, across most of the front of the house. Thought about maybe just doing half of it; to offset the wind from the south.
Don't I wish... nope, no roof over the deck... But I am looking at it and thinking about a plant room/sunroom type thing... Could do it with 2 sections for a mud room entrance and then through a door into the plant room... not convenient to the driveway especially but still would be dual purpose... Need to talk to a carpenter that does renovations.... bounce some ideas off someone that knows things about building... had considered it when I first moved here...
33 last night. Brrrr. And no rain seen for 2 weeks. But we've had rains, so pretty average.
