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?

Because of this straight design, the front edge of the terrace canopy is quite high, which means the sun shines well below the awning, and in my opinion, the high roof makes it feel quite uncomfortable, but that’s a matter of personal taste.Take a look at the orientation on page 1. It faces south, so the sun is high. To the west, where the sun is lower in the evening, is the shorter side.
I think what I found on Google under "terrazza Pure" fits the architectural style very well. How much is something like that going to cost?
Otherwise, the "Groja Cube" comes to mind, or a nice sun sail (although sails need to be quite large to provide adequate shade).

How much is the fun supposed to cost?With an under-roof awning, about 15,000 to 20,000 EUR, depending on the features ... the sloped canopy from the same manufacturer costs a similar amount. guckuck2 schrieb:

So, a quick update: the building permit application has been submitted... now we wait and see what the planning office decides about it. So? What’s the status of your approval? Has your patio roof been approved?
I’d like to revive this thread a bit.

Otherwise, I do like what @ypg says: we enjoy seeing the sky and hearing the wind in the shade-giving trees—except on the lounge terrace, where it’s cozy to sit under a modern wooden pergola that’s completely covered with wisteria… well, not quite yet, but the wisteria is doing its best. We’ve been knocked down by it now. Since the storm destroyed our beloved gazebo, something else has to replace it soon.
We often get wind from the west on our south-facing terrace, and our furniture suffers from the moisture. Even our beautiful granite terrace has started turning green. Decorative candles on the table don’t stay lit, etc.—it’s not really pleasant.
Long story short:
We’re getting a roof over it.

Building a patio roof (e.g., with an internal awning and three vertical blinds) only for sun protection? Seriously? Seriously!
But without the vertical blinds; instead, one side will have sliding doors. Planned size: 3 x 5 meters (about 10 x 16 feet). Someone also gave us quotes for 3.5 x 5 meters (about 11.5 x 16 feet).
We quickly realized that many are just salespeople, while some do the installation themselves. We want a company that handles everything because of our external insulation. KD and others don’t work in northern Germany, but we want everything from one source.
One of our favorites called me yesterday and spent half an hour on the phone telling me that his patio roofs would be too expensive for me… because I had requested a cost-conscious option. But he gave me some tips (which I’ve already forgotten).
Here come the details:
3.5 x 5 meters (about 11.5 x 16 feet)
Sliding side panel including wedge
Laminated safety glass
14 LEDs
Electric awning
All foundations and external insulation anchors
Just under €15,000 (approx. $16,000 USD)
Question: Do we need the center post, or is it more about aesthetics? Somehow I feel the center post might still be useful?! My husband doesn’t want it.
We don’t see any cost-saving options if the patio roof should match the house and add value. What do you think?
The price of the offer is comparable to that of our canopy. We also live in the north...
A central post was necessary for us with a width of 6m (20 feet). I believe you can do without it at 5m (16 feet). If it had been possible, I would have avoided the central post.
What would you need it for (excluding structural reasons)?

I was thinking of a visual separation. Maybe you could hang a sail there, or a hammock on the lawn. Possibly also a wildlife camera... or additional lighting...
Do you remember where you got it from?

The building permit arrived yesterday.

Just under €15,000 Which roofing contractor is that from?
We have also obtained a few more quotes by now. On one hand, there is the offer from Weinor, and on the other, some no-name providers who are about one-third cheaper.
