Lived with an open deck for a year, closed it in with short knee walls and sliding doors. It is on the south side of our house and effectively warms our house in winter to the point that heat does not turn on after sunrise until sun sets We did use doors that are 2 panes with small blinds between the glass layers which eliminated the necessity of any curtains etc. added significant floor space, passive solar and bug free summer sitting, dining area.. money well spent.

You got a lot accomplished and the animals are ready for winter. They are fortunate to have you as caretakers for them as you take very good care of them! The deck turned out great! The drone footage shows how large and gorgeous it actually is. I like the idea of making it a covered patio or sun room. You could add a lot of skylights or suntubes to add the desired light and it would make for a very nice area for your home. Have a great week you two. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

I don't know if you use your chicken eggs but if you want them to lay all winter just keep their feet dry and put crushed hot peppers in their food. This makes them think it's warm and they keep laying all winter. Just a little tip from an old Indiana farm boy.

I have an L shaped deck like you, but much smaller, and after rebuilding it twice due to the weather causing severe damage, I covered the the whole thing with a Laser-Lite roof with a slight tint and it has been a game changer. Laser-Lite is likely unsuitable for you because of your snow load, but it made the deck so much more useful.
