Pros and cons... ours is inside and in a 10 by 12 room with 3 windows, a 36" glass door and a sky light that opens. It is an unheated room added to the house and you go through double French doors to get to it. We did the room in knotty pine with marine varnish, several coats. We are located outside Pittsburgh so it gets cold here.

The pros are that you can get in and out without running in the snow/rain etc. My wife stated she would rarely use it if it was outside. It is less expensive to heat in the room. It is also less prone to damage as the house protects the shell and skirts from the weather.

The cons are you can't sit in it and look at the sky except in the skylight and snow never falls on you. You also have to leave windows open or the moisture will cause problems in the winter and in the summer, the water gets too hot.

Hope this helps.
