    What a great idea @wild edges ... we had a covered seating area (with storage built in under some of the seats) in a previous garden ... I loved sitting out there reading during a summer storm ... as well as at other times of course ... but sitting there with the sound of falling rain around me was magical.  

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Good morning many tks for your comments we have decided that we going to knock the garage down and replace with a permanent gazebo it will not be higher than the garage peak will need to inform the council on what we are doing or is it not needed

    I don't think you'd need to inform the council, but it could be worth checking on their website re any rules and regs. If it's no bigger than the garage, I can't see that you'd need any permission etc.
    There are regs about siting things near a boundary, but I assume you aren't changing the location of it from what you've said  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    That's great - hopefully there won't be any jobsworths getting their pants in a knot!
    Look forward to seeing the finished result too - keep us posted. We like a 'renovation' type of project  :)

    We was going keep existing garage shell but it's just too much work replace roof and struts and then remove panels which we  not sure they would crack

    Yes - I have no experience of these panels, but I think you're right - they're probably not easy to keep intact.

    Also the cutting would be so hard

    Fresh start is often the best way, and then you can choose some planting that will suit it nicely too.
    Good luck with it - you'll hopefully have a nice seating area for the garden which is always useful    :)
