ᐅ What is the cost of a glass patio roof?

So far, I have only received one offer and was shocked:
Aluminum rods, clear glass roof 10mm (0.4 inches) thick (you can walk on it!), about 2m x 5m (6.5 feet x 16.5 feet), cost around 10,000.
Is this realistic?

Of course, a plastic roof is much cheaper, but I’m afraid it will become dirty and opaque after a few years.
What is your opinion?

Thanks,

Alberto

Why exactly is a building permit / planning permission required? Does it depend on the federal state?

Yes, it does.

Here in S-H, you are allowed to build a covered structure up to 3 meters deep (10 feet) without a building permit or planning permission. However, 3 meters was not deep enough for us.

Additionally, our patio roof extended into the 30-meter (98 feet) protective buffer zone near our forest. Therefore, it had to be reviewed by fire safety and forestry authorities, even if we had stayed within the 3-meter limit.

Here in Saxony, a setback of up to 3 meters (10 feet) is allowed. Otherwise, a new building permit / planning permission must be applied for.

Wow, 10m (33 feet) x 4m (13 feet) x 3.5m (11.5 feet) for 2500 EUR is a great deal!

I also searched for weeks like crazy.

Hi Matthew, may I ask where you bought it? I am also looking for a roof cover. Thanks. Good luck, Andreas
