Corner posts on conservatory

[Arne999]

Ordered a pre-cut glulam frame for my conservatory from Wilab garden. Unfortunately, you don't get the assembly instructions before you order, so now it is what it is...

The corner posts are cut so they have to be on the same level as the profiles for the glass sections. So either I have to place the profiles and post directly against the frame and build the floor at a higher level inside, or finish the floor before I set up the frame, which means place the posts and profiles on a finished floor. I’m a bit skeptical of the latter because I would then have to insulate and finish without a roof...

Anyone familiar with this "problem"??

Depending on what type of floor you are going to have, it might be possible to install a frame/border of the floor where the posts and sections are going to stand?

Yep, I've also considered that option where the posts are placed directly on the decking and therefore on the same surface that gets wet when it rains...

Yes, substantial overhangs on the roof and capillary break between the floor and post.

I prefer using pressure-treated posts rather than glued-laminated timber.

A cut frame usually comes pre-cut based on the parties' measurements, unless you request the posts to be longer, of course.
As GoForit writes, measure out and place two-three rows of decking where the posts are to stand. You can still access to insulate underneath.
