I have now treated the garage doors to match the new timber and added
gutters.

Very nice, am I jealous, you bet, but I'd need the doors a bit taller to
get the 90 (Defender) in there so I could work on it in the dry/warm....

By the way the veranda was very easy to build on a DIY basis and if
anyone wants to do one at their house, drop me an email with
dimensions and I will tell you what you need and how to go about it.

I'm interested in the roof of it. I have built a pergatory[1], which at
the moment is roofless because I haven't quite made the decision. It is
triangular with very stout poles which would support a decent-sized ship,
let alone a roof.

I am torn between plastic (sheeting), sail material, and canvas. I have
seen all three. Any other ideas welcome. I would like it to be reasonably
easily removeable for cleaning after the winter, and possibly storeable in
the summer as it's nice to have no roof, like it is now.

[1] a cross between a pergola and a conservatory. More pergola. Ideas
mainly gleaned from structures at the Hampton Court exhibition earlier,
plus some advice from groundworkers, artists and gardeners. And publicans.

I would suggest cheap beach mats.
You can tie them on for the summer and they give shade and some shelter.
You could line with plastic sheeting first if you want it to be waterproof.
Take em down in winter.
Once the vines get going you won't need a roof :~))

Thanks for those Jenny. Some good ideas there, worth pursuing.

I'll let on what I decided when I've decided.

The best thing I did was to restore several teak-built Victorian greenhouses

Next came the Greek-styled pergola - just click on thumbnails for larger images. More features in the left nav bar.

Well done - the idea of a Drover owner working in the dry/warm is, well, an
oxymoron!

Yes I noticed the Lightweight (Air Portable) hybrid in a previous photo of
yours. Wouldn't be any good as an allotment shed for us tools would be too
easy to pinch. :-)
When I pluck up enough enthusiasm I'm about to change the timing chain and
pensioners etc in the street.

As you may have worked out, my hybrid is my other hobby, I trial it most
months.
