A modern patio roof is not only a beautiful eye-catcher in the garden, but above all a functional addition to the outdoor area. In spring and summer it protects the seating area from the strong rays of the sun, in autumn and winter - from wind, rain and snow. Therefore, the robust canopy allows you to spend a pleasant time outdoors even in low temperatures or rainy weather, thereby extending your stayGarden season. In addition, the lounge furniture, the grill and even the planters can remain outside even in the cold season and do not have to be stored in the garage.
It has two other important advantages - on the one hand, it protects you from prying eyes, and on the other hand, it offers good insulation. So nothing stands in the way of a cozy evening with friends, even in a terraced house.
Nowadays, garden owners have two practical alternatives for modern onesPatio coveringsto choose from – the wall-mounted version or the free-standing version. Several factors should be taken into account when making the decision. On the one hand, the size of the garden plays a role - if the garden is large, the free-standing structure that visually connects the house and garden makes more sense. If desired, this can be converted into a winter garden using several side panels and provide storage space for garden plants in the cold months or be used as a cabinet, for example. Wall mounting, on the other hand, is ideal for small gardens - this creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor areas and saves space at the same time.
Furthermore, the function that the terrace fulfills is of great importance - if the terrace is used as an outdoor kitchen with a grill and dining area, then it should be as close as possible to the house. A quiet place in the garden is better for a cozy outdoor lounge area.
The third factor is thisBuilding permit– Whether a building permit is required for one or even both variants must be clarified with the local authorities.
For a harmonious overall picture, the terrace roof should be visually coordinated with the house facade and the garden style. Wood appears natural and gives the roofing a rustic charm. The material can either be varnished or painted in a matching color. In any case, a greater amount of care is to be expected here - regular treatment with special oils, depending on the manufacturer's instructions, is recommended.
The construction made of powder-coated aluminum also leaves nothing to be desired in terms of color - it looks very modern and adds the finishing touch to minimalist buildings. Metal has one key advantage – its durability – but it also costs more on average than wood.
The roof covering is made of either glass or double web - the two materials are very durable and extremely easy to care for.
