With summer coming up, we start to envy those who have conservatories. Not only do they provide some much needed additional space, but they also offer the luxury of experiencing the natural world from indoors. The majority of people decide against installing a conservatory onto their homes, blaming this on the money aspect. But this should not be a reason to put you off your perfect conservatory.

The majority of your neighbours who have white uPVC or hardwood conservatories will have bought and had them installed by a single company. But did you know that a significant amount of the money they paid towards this would have covered the labour alone? Fitting fees can often amount to thousands of pounds of the overall cost that you would pay for a brand new conservatory.

For this reason, DIY conservatories are becoming increasingly popular nowadays. A DIY conservatory is self-explanatory; you build your own conservatory. It allows you the opportunity to choose what design you want, as well as adding your own personal touch to its features. Once you have made your purchase and the supplies have been delivered to your home, you then build the conservatory yourself. By purchasing supply only conservatories, you can still experience all the normal benefits but with an additional enjoyment of the fact that you have saved yourself money.

If you are a particularly handy person and enjoy taking pride in your work, this is the perfect option for you. You will have reassurance in knowing that each part is being built exactly as you want, whilst having the luxury of creating your conservatory in your own time. Once you have finished, step back to admire the structure and take pride in your own handiwork. Alternatively, if the thought of building your own conservatory terrifies you but you still want to reap the financial benefits, you can employ someone to help.

You may have a friend or a member of the family who would be only too happy to help. Or you could bring in the professionals. Whilst this would cost you a little more, you would still be saving money than if you had requested that the supplying company install the conservatory for you. By investing in a conservatory, you can have the chance to view nature from inside your home whilst experiencing the benefits of additional space. But by purchasing a DIY conservatory, you will save money and have the chance to ensure that you conservatory is tailored to your exact requirements.
