Porch requirements

macadam · 2014-09-27 06:27:52

Im building a small porch, Ive been told that I can build 2m2 ie 2x1 would this be the floor area as the outside is being done in stone, so your talking a full cavity and then stone, which will leave the outside dimensions approx 3x1.5

100% internal area.
Don't forget you have other considerations such as roof height.
