Hello,
I have a veranda that my grandfather built once and I want to make as little impact as possible on it. We have now started to enclose it with glass and I have a 95x95mm post (stud) that does not reach all the way up to the roof beam but ends at the railing.
Looks nice and open, but if you want to enclose it with glass, it must reach all the way up. How to do it?
One idea I have is to take a 95x95mm stud and then drill holes in the old and new ones, inserting wooden dowels in between, securing and gluing.
Are there other ways?
Removing the old one is very tricky and requires a lot of work.
There will also be a cross beam of 70x45 between that stud and the other to secure tracks. The roof beam has a certain slope. You know what verandas look like
Another thing is that I also want to cover the railing, which has some gaps. Should I simply batten with a little thinner material here? It would be nice if it could be removed on warmer days to allow more air on the veranda. Ideas?
Plastic sheets on the inside

Hello Micke. It doesn't sound like you're afraid of work, with sticks and drills, glue and stuff!
Just kidding! I would probably have been lazier than that and sawed the old rule in half about 80 cm down, and then done the same with the new one. (Like two "Tetris blocks", if that description helps?)
Slapped on glue and screwed with 90 mm spax screws. Then I think the new addition will get enough support, both upwards and sideways.
And less work! Cut the new part as high as you want it, place the roof beam against it, trace with pencil and notch it out! All done!
Plastic panels sound great, right? Maybe sliding ones? Good Luck!

You mean so that they notch into each other. Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I repaired a door and then I sawed the studs at an angle, but in this case, it might be better with two straight cuts.
Like you saw halfway and then saw 90 degrees in the other direction (along the length). Same thing on the other and then glue and screw. Is that what you mean?
Plastic is good, but isn't it quite expensive?

Exactly! Promise it will be super strong.
Plastic is unnecessarily expensive! But there are different kinds. Plexi costs a fortune, so it's not an option for me. But one could consider using kanalplast (Insulation roofing). You know, the kind used for roofs on porches and greenhouses.
You can buy it in different thicknesses and UV values. It weighs nothing and it's easy to put together a few frames if you want to be able to slide, open, or remove them. Check out www.willabgarden.se or www.solux.se for example. There are so many brands out there!
Check Blocket. Hope it was of some help. Johan

Have you found any good material?

Cool! I think it was cheap! Is it completely clear? (transparent?)
(Maybe it could be something for the wife's "ordered" greenhouse for the tomatoes?)
Thanks. Johan

Place wide tape on both sides, draw lines, place near a stable surface (or even better, clamp it between two pieces of lumber with clamps) along the entire cut and saw with a fine-toothed saw.
