          Q:I have a 10ftx10ft shed with a strong (extra concrete footings and 12inch spaced joists) 8.5x17ft PT wood deck in front of it. Would like to build all season solarium on top of deck. Would need doors on side of solarium since no room beyond 8.5 ft end of deck. Also shed doors would open into back of solarium. Any way to adjust one for your solariums to fit my layout?

          Answer This Question

          A:  I do not think you can use this product in your situation, unless you significantly modify your foundation, by making it wider. You need an approximately 13 x 13 foot foundation, or “footprint” for this structure. If I understand your question, some of the solarium would be on concrete, and some on the deck, which is likely fine, as long as you meet the minimal foundation “footprint”, and you deck is thick enough to support the walls. You can download the manual, it has exact dimension of the foundation, and I think even the lumbar requirements of a wood deck or foundation, otherwise a local contractor could help. Really no way to modify, as each panel of the solarium comes together to form the strength of the whole and finished product. Any modification and the whole thing is likely to collapse. The roof panels and wall panels support each other, and any missing panel would weaken the entire structure. You could contact the company, but suspect they will tell you the same thing. Good luck.

                Q:Does this gabezo have windows that control heat & ac?
                by|Oct 3, 2018

                Answer This Question

                A:  Yes, but the windows are really only helpful if you have a light breeze. If no wind/breeze, you will get quite warm. On cooler days, we keep the windows closed, and then the trapped sunlight creates the “greenhouse” effect and keeps us toasty warm.

                        Q:can the doors be put next to each other so that there is a 6.625' opening?
                        by|Sep 23, 2018
                        1 Answer
                        Answer This Question

                        A:  Not in the design. Each door opening is matched with a special window section with holes along top and bottom edge. These holes mount the door bearing track (upper) and door slide track (lower). You technically could place both door openings together, as all the sections appear to have the same width at 40” left to right. But one door would be on the inside, and the other on the outside. IF you chose to do this, you would have to modify the original plans, and be ready for problems: 1) a center beam will still be in place between the two doors, 2) One door could be on the inside, and the other on the outside, but that would be a significant modification, with uncertain outcomes. Finally your third problem ... 3) the screws would not be long enough to pass through both the upper bearing tracks, and the lower sliding tracks. Get ready for lots of drilling and buying new screws ... lots of custom work. So to answer your question: No, you cannot get a continuous 6.625’ opening. The center beam cannot be removed, and this is required for vertical support, and to allow roof support attachment for the “rafters”, which anchor in each corner, and between each and every section. You could contact the company for double wide door, but suspect it does not exist. Maybe the 12 x 18 is different, but looks like it would not work with 12 x 12’. Hope this helps. Marc

                          A:  It could be possible but need to make sure that your roof will not drop snow or frozen ice onto it, if your have this condition. But you would be better off with our model that attach to the house: 10X12 (W1209.5) or 10X16 (W1610.5)
