I have a glass-fronted passageway with a heavy tiled roof running down the side of my house. It’s not really a conservatory but that’s the closest word I could think of. Single glazed, old, presumably diy construction. The timber running along the top of the dwarf wall is starting to rot, as is the base of the load bearing uprights. I had planned to replace bits of rotten timber and use the Ronseal stuff, but the whole thing is in a sorry state and needs replacing when time and funds allow. To keep it standing until then I need to do something temporary. I was thinking of attaching (thru-bolts maybe) a vertical post to the existing uprights, with the base resting on the dwarf wall. My questions are: How do I fix the post in place so that it is taking some weight? There has obviously been moisture about. Is there any way to make sure the base of the new upright doesn’t start to absorb water and rot? I’ve taken a photo to try and clarify my ramblings. Thanks all.
