Please help me find an inexpensive solution to sort out my conservatory roof ! :(

[Baddz]

I have a glass roofed conservatory which is freezing in winter and like a greenhouse in summer.
Atm it's just used for storage tbh (kids toy boxes, bookcases etc) by we would like to be able to use it year round.
We bought an oil filled radiator which really helps in wintwr but summer is still an issue.
We dont really have any money for this - £100 tops - and I keep wracking my brains trying to think of how we could keep the worst of the heat out but let the sun in iyswim?
So...
I have found some voile panels in ikea and am trying to find a way to attach them to the roof.
The roof is an award shape (Victorian I think?) see pic
Any ideas very gratefully recieved!

These may be worth a try? Very cheap and go up with velcro so easy to remove and change. I think you could also cut to size. We have some on one side of ours, and it's enough to reduce the heat significantly.

We've just got a koala shade on your recommendation and being impressed at the website, and I have a quick question re fitting it. The leaflet we were sent with it says to start fixing the shade at the lower edge of the lean to conservatory. The guy on the phone said to start at the top edge, but he was also certain that all the fixings were included but then when they arrived without self-tapping screws he had a long explanation about why they weren't included, but no explanation as to why he didn't tell us this when we bought it. Anyway, that's not a big deal, but just makes me uncertain about whether he knows what he's talking about or whether he's just a salesman.

So my question again: Did you start fixing it at the top of the conservatory roof slope or the bottom?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m
Just wondering how you got on with the Koalashade? We are looking at ordering one too. Does it help with the heat and uv rays? Was it difficult to fit? X

@1Bobdylan would you be willing to share a picture? What’s it like in the winter? Thanks x

As sorry just realised it’s a old thread.

Hi,
It can still be a bit chilly in winter but so much better. It has made a huge difference in summer, we can actually sit in there, no glare, it has finally become a useful room. I have recently removed the doors too which has helped balance the temperature. I understand you are not really supposed to do this so I have kept doors so should I move they can be put back.
