I had the menfolk build me one a few years ago from an old storm door and the waste from taking apart a deck. It was very steep and tall, based on something I read about the angle of the glass. The door was on about a 45 degree angle. The back was then about three feet high. Problems! It got really roasting when the sun came out! Stuf just cooked!. and the door was very heavy in that position, dangerously hard to lift. I had them remove the door this year. The high back, facing due south, should warm this up well without the added boost of the glass. You can't tell much from this picture but its all I can find. I am standing over it showing the groundhog hole RIGHT IN THE BLASTED THING. Talk about expecting breakfast in bed---grrrr |
