Hello everyone,
We are currently planning a 6x4m (20x13 feet) patio roof for next year.
The plan is for an aluminum and glass roof with two supports positioned at the front edge of the roof, each set about 1m (3 feet) inward from the left and right edges. A vertical blind is planned to be installed between these two supports.
At the moment, we are uncertain about the foundation options.
Our patio measures exactly 6x4m (20x13 feet), the same size as the roof. For the front supports, we could:
1.) place them right on the edge of the patio,
2.) set them slightly inset, or
3.) have them extend slightly over the lawn.
The patio builder recommends option 1. That’s probably the simplest solution for them. However, I find it inconvenient because I would have to mow the lawn all around the supports. Additionally, we want to install a vertical blind between the two supports, ideally one that can close all the way down to block cool air if needed.
From an aesthetic point of view, option 2 (set in about 5-10cm (2-4 inches)) would be my preference.
The question is how the foundation could be designed in a visually neat way in this case.
We have patio slabs from Rinn with a thickness of 8cm (3 inches). Is it possible to place the foundation beneath a slab in such a way that the slab does not need to be cut, and to anchor the supports to the foundation using long screws going through the 8cm (3 inches) slab?

So, we had another discussion with the supplier of the canopy. A foundation underneath the slabs is possible. The drilling will then be done through the slabs.
Shading from above will be provided by an awning installed below the canopy. Although the heat will initially pass through the glass, the awning can remain extended throughout the summer, preventing the terrace from warming up too much.
Rainwater is intended to be drained downwards through the post.
The 20cm (8 inches) shorter canopy should not be a significant issue at a depth of 4m (13 feet).

Shading from above is provided by an awning installed beneath the canopy. Although the heat will initially pass through the glass, the awning can be kept fully extended during summer, preventing the terrace from warming up too much.

The canopy being 20 cm (8 inches) shorter should not be a major issue with a depth of 4 m (13 feet).That doesn’t sound bad at all. It could work well for us too. Do you have any price indication?

Do you have any price indication for that?I would be interested in that for later as well [emoji4]In the OWL region, a 3x3.5m (10x11.5 feet) glass canopy in aluminum design with shading under the glass plus a 3x3.5m (10x11.5 feet) awning ranges between 12,000 and 16,000 depending on the level of luxury.
I have requested several quotes.
Our terrace will be 3x7m (10x23 feet), and we were considering whether to have a full roof or just half – we decided on half.
