A gable conservatory has a pitched roof and a vertical glazed end, the same outline as a small house. The designs here are white frames on a brick dwarf wall, with a dark tiled roof and a fan of glass in the gable peak.
The ridge runs back to the house. French doors sit in the side wall, and the garden face is a run of tall windows under a row of small top lights. The gable itself is glazed, with bars radiating around a semicircular pane.
Why choose a gable conservatory
The gable end is the tall part of the room, so the garden wall is full height instead of a roof sloping down over your head.
A glazed peak
Bars divide the triangle of glass, with a semicircular pane in the centre of the gable.
Tiles over the ridge
The slopes are finished in dark tiles, so the conservatory sits with the roof of the house behind it.
What is included
The gable is the roof, the end glazing, and the frames on the dwarf wall.
White frames on brick
The windows and French doors stand on a low brick wall, with a cill running along the top of the brickwork.
Doors in the side wall
A pair of glazed French doors, with a handle, opens from the return rather than through the gable glass.
- Pitched tiled roof with a glazed gable
