Mobile Home Sunroom, built cheap yourself?
I find that contractors seem to wind up with sliding glass doors that are just considered junk. I have found numerous ones illegally dumped. These are the commonly sized, double-paned variety. The good thing about these is that you need only about eight for a smaller sunroom. It'll provide a great view. Remember to keep some part of the wall/doors openable and screened, so you can let excess heat out.
Reply:Loof for a salvage yard that sells old wooden storm windows. These are the old type, don't weigh a lot and you could handle them easily yourself. Depending on your room size purchase as many of the same size as you need.


I would take a little time to scrape off old paint and repaint them inside and out, replace glazing.


To make it really nice purchase some surface mount hinges and mount them at the top of the storm window. This way you can open the windows by pushing them out at the bottom-install screenwire on the inside of ones you want to open.


Since your new room needs to be constructed quickly and at the least cost, dig postholes and set treated 4"x4" in ground spaced out at 6'-8' apart. Install bottom horizontal row of treated 2"x4" about 4" above ground, Set your next horizontal row of regular spf 2"x4" at level you want for bottom of your storm windows. Now measure your storms and set your next row of horizontal 2"x4"'s flush with the top of these storm windows. Now install vertical 2"x4"s on edge like a regular stud wall back behind your horizontal 2"x4"s on the inside of the wall. Nail or screw them in place by going through your horizontal's into these vertical studs. These studs should be placed apart so storm windows fit right in the opening. Now fill in vertical 2"x4"s on 2' centers between the openings and above and below all the windows. Now fill in rest of horizontal rows about 2' apart .Put o.s.b. on inside and outside, and cover with whatever you want. Top of the tops of all your upright 4"x4"s that you cut off all level, top with 2 rows of staggered joint 2"x4"s. Frame roof, put in sand fill-level tamp and install 12"x12" patio blocks. If sun is too hot coming in windows- Install window film (really dark) on glass.
