Things you should not keep in your conservatory
Conservatories are made from glass. Although there are many ways to keep your conservatory cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter (such as blinds, radiators, and good ventilation), ultimately, a conservatory’s temperature is determined by how much sunlight enters. Heat can cause problems, especially in summer. You should not keep these 5 items in your conservatory.
Pets
It may seem obvious, but there have been reports about people who kept rabbits, dog cages, and dog beds in conservatories. This is not only dangerous to the animals but also makes them unhappy. Even if pets are allowed to move freely from their pet beds into other rooms, it is better to keep them in a room with a wall to prevent them getting too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter.
Bikes/Bicycles
Some people rest their bikes in the house. This is especially true if they use it to commute each day to work or for daily training. When a conservatory becomes warm, leaving a bicycle in the heat can damage the tyres. The tyres could eventually burst, or become weaker with time. When a bike is taken out, it can become muddy and dirty. This will leave unwanted track marks on your conservatory.

Food Items
It is best to leave food items in the kitchen. It is especially important if you have a conservatory attached to your home kitchen. You may be tempted to store food in the extra storage space. Food items should not be stored in conservatories and in the summer they shouldn’t remain out too long.
Wine
Wine matures faster when stored in a warmer place. Although a wine rack may make a conservatory appear vintage and stylish, it is better to store wine in a wine cellar or cooler.
Electricals
The majority of people have some type of electrical equipment installed in their conservatory. This could be a TV, stereo, or lamp. It is important to install good electrical equipment in your conservatory. If possible, it should not be too expensive but of high quality. Electrical equipment that is damaged or of poor quality may catch fire. You may also be disappointed if your expensive electrical items are affected by heat.
It may be best to place speakers in the conservatory, and keep your stereo system in a different room. The music will be the same in all rooms and the stereo system won’t be affected by temperature changes.
The plug sockets in your conservatory should also be placed at the shadiest part.
