Wassermann7 Aug 2021 10:15Good morning everyone,
I am currently considering how to solve the shading issue on the south side of my house (living/dining/kitchen area).
Length = 11 m (36 feet)
Terrace depth = approximately 3-4 m (10-13 feet)
A glass roof with a retractable awning underneath is the classic solution, but do you have any other ideas?
I’m also thinking about whether I should install external venetian blinds on the ground floor south side at all.
Thanks for your input! 🙂

A retractable arm awning is the classic choice,
a sun sail is more modern,
and glass canopies also need shading.
It’s purely a matter of personal preference.
Take some photos of your house and visit showrooms, get advice and quotes.
This will give you a good overview of prices and services.

A glass roof definitely needs shading; otherwise, it creates a double magnifying effect inside the house.

This is what we had installed at our place two weeks ago:
As soon as there is no sun, you can retract it completely. Then only the frame remains. You don’t need a wind sensor either. Of course, this is not a solution if you also want protection against rain. For us, however, sun protection was the main priority.

When there’s no sun, you can fully retract it. Then only the frame remains. You don’t need a wind sensor either. Of course, if you’re looking for protection against rain, this isn’t a solution. For us, sun protection was the main priority. What did you pay for it? I think the solution looks good.
In case of a storm, every system should be secured or retracted.
Dirt accumulates on all surfaces.
Fabrics come in different qualities.
Our sunshade does not get very dirty; it is a water-repellent coated fabric.
So, visit exhibitions and get informed.
