Lean-to Conservatories

Sometimes called the Mediterranean conservatory or Sun Room, the Lean-to conservatory is the simplest - and often most inexpensive - conservatory design, sharing one wall with the main building or sometimes two adjoining walls in an inside corner - and has a simple pitched roof without ridge. Despite its simplicity there are still variations you might want to consider:

• Position the door to suit movement around the furniture and access to garden/patio.

• The roof can be steep or shallow-pitched depending on your preference or what suits the house style best.

• If you prefer, a corner-fill conservatory can have a ridged roof, using box-gutter drainage against the main building.

• A corner fill conservatory can have a square Edwardian or a round-end Victorian appearance.
