Hello everyone,
building on our floor plan planning, we would now like to focus on the terrace and a suitable roofing solution.
For now, we have planned the terrace with a width of 8.65 meters (28 ft 4 in) and a depth of 3.50 meters (11 ft 6 in).
But does the terrace really need to be this wide?
We want to add a roof over the terrace. Ideally, it should at least cover the large window front so that the roof can provide indirect shading for the living room, without having to lower the blinds all the time.
It probably also makes sense to extend the roof to the garage area so you can sit there comfortably, right?
Do you have any ideas for us?

You can see the sky through your windows but not through a glass roof... InterestingI think you actually don’t understand the difference.
A roof has support beams, which you can see when looking through it. No roof means no support beams.

Our canopy is made of reed mats and provides more coziness than protection.
It is also not positioned above the patio door, because I like to see the sky from inside. With a canopy, that wouldn’t be possible. You two: please read carefully – this refers to our reed mat canopy. And yes, I would also like to look outside without seeing supports everywhere. Otherwise, that’s exactly what it would be like. Look out your window and take a photo to share here. No matter how large your panoramic windows are, you won’t be looking at pure nature; somewhere there will be supports, beams, or posts.
But I don’t blame you if you don’t understand what I mean.
Some people notice numerous unnecessary traffic signs at the edge of the road, while others, when asked what they see, say: “nothing.”
The attachment comes from the displayed advertisement and illustrates the difference.

A patio roof adds tremendous value for us. Since it’s made of glass, it hardly blocks any light. With an integrated retractable awning underneath, you get excellent shading options, and especially in summer on the south side, you can keep the annoying exterior blinds up. It feels much nicer from inside. We deliberately decided against the exterior blinds.

The main reason for the patio roof was to comfortably sit outside with several people in the summer (our patio faces south) without having to set up five umbrellas. In the end, we want to shade the patio somehow and see a fixed roof as higher quality and more durable. In our view, umbrellas are completely pointless. They just get in the way. A retractable awning is an option, but after about 10 years, they don’t look so great anymore.

3.5m (11.5 ft) is okay, 4m (13 ft) is more than enough. You can put the table across it and still walk around, that’s how big it is. We went out again yesterday. So, 3.5 meters (11.5 ft) might be sufficient, but more is certainly better. However, that comes at the expense of the green area.

We have an internal awning and three vertical awnings, and it’s true that when the sun shines, you don’t need the exterior blinds if the awning is extended—that’s really practical. I have my eye on vertical awnings as well.

I definitely wouldn’t make the roof narrower than 4m (13 ft) to ensure there’s enough space and shade for the seating area. That’s a good point, but where would the post go near the garage then?
