Re: Dark house. 4Jul 13, 2020 6:35 pm a more economical option would be to replace some panels of roofing with panels of Polycarbonate transluscent roofing..try narrow panels in line with windows and keep in mind that transluscent panels of roofing can overheat if too wide so test a single sheet before adding more panels..and depending on how you use the verandah and how much shelter you need/want consider removing sections of roofing and make the bare frames into a pergola covered with deciduous vines to create summer shade Re: Dark house. 5Jul 13, 2020 6:56 pm oklouise a more economical option would be to replace some panels of roofing with panels of Polycarbonate transluscent roofing..try narrow panels in line with windows and keep in mind that transluscent panels of roofing can overheat if too wide so test a single sheet before adding more panels..and depending on how you use the verandah and how much shelter you need/want consider removing sections of roofing and make the bare frames into a pergola covered with deciduous vines to create summer shade Thank you that’s great, definitely food for thought.
