We have a southwest-facing terrace and, here in our new development area, it is quite exposed to wind. We have been considering the best shading option for some time.
One advantage of a permanent roof structure is its durability and the added protection it provides for furniture during winter. However, the cost—especially with vertical shading panels—is quite high.
What I cannot assess is the buildup of heat under the glass, even with shading.
As an alternative, we are considering a pergola awning with support posts at the ends to ensure greater stability against wind.
The price is roughly half that of a permanent roof structure.
Do you have any recommendations or tips?

Jurassic13529 May 2023 17:49Friends of ours have an aluminum canopy with an awning—one installed above under the glass, the other vertically at the front.
On one side, they have fixed glass panels horizontally for wind protection and privacy (frosted glass).
This works very well.
If you already have a lot of wind, I wouldn’t recommend an awning. Even with supports, I would worry that you’d have to retract it constantly.

WilderSueden29 May 2023 21:12We have constant wind up here on the hill. Accordingly, we decided on a covered patio with an under-roof awning. This cover can generally be equipped later with side walls if we want to. The cost for 3.5 x 5 m (11.5 x 16.5 ft) is 10,000. We haven’t planned any side shading yet; if needed, we would simply get a separate side awning.
Unfortunately, I can’t share any experience yet, as the plasterers’ scaffolding is still up.
