How to close in a small patio?

My house was built in the side of a slight slope. The basement is exposed on the back side and because of that, the origional builders made a patio behind the basement. It is sunk in about 4 feet and has concrete walls that have about a 35 degree angle on the top of the sides. The ground is level with the sides and my plan is to close this in. The dimensions are 13 ft long, 4 ft wide 4 ft deep. Where should i go to learn what to do and what should i not do. I also want to put a large shop window on the front that is 7ft long 5 1/2 ft tall and 1/2 inch thick. It came with the house burried in the garage.

    If I understand you correctly you are looking to build a wall and put on a roof? You can go to a library and gets some books on it. or You can surf the net., Go to you tube and get some pointers. You can also look for plans or make your own once you understand construction. It is not difficult. You will want to do your homework prior to applying for a permit if it is necessary.

    Edit: It sounds like you may be looking to create a breezeway or small room. I would search under breezeways for ideas. If you have only half walls on the two sides you will need to think about wood or cinder block to build up.
