I need to replace my roof. Is it possible (allowed by code) to turn my attic into a greenhouse?
I've been told by my insurance company that I need to replace my roof. It doesn't leak, it's just old and due to be replaced. I'd like to do something "different" with it and make a usable space out of the currently unusable attic. I was thinking it would be great if I could strip off the roof and replace it with greenhouse material to turn the attic into a mini-greenhouse. The house is a 1930s craftsman and I live in San Diego. I need to know if, first, this is possible and, second, if there's any chance in hell that it would be deemed okay by a city like San Diego. If not, what's the primary objection that the city would have with the idea? Are there any examples of other people doing this anywhere in the US? The house is only 700 sq ft. so we're not talking massive greenhouse here. Also, I've seen greenhouses made from lightweight plastics rather than heavy glass. I think the comment about the solarium is right on. Even if it's not suitable for growing plants, I'd like a "functional" and "green" roof. That's really the intent. BTW, I live in San Diego. Hail really isn't an issue.
