Patio & rooftop solution
The best structure begins with the building around it.
Wall connections, doors, windows, drainage, access and wind exposure make patios and rooftops very different project environments.
Get My Preliminary SolutionThe challenge
A preferred pergola does not automatically suit every terrace.
What must be solved first?
An attached patio must coordinate with the façade and water flow. A rooftop must also address lifting access, anchoring, higher wind exposure, substrate and local structural approval.
BEFORE · ATTACHED OR ROOFTOP SITE
01 · PROBLEM
The site imposes limits that product selection alone cannot answer.
- Doors or windows near the proposed roof
- Limited drainage routes
- Exposed wind conditions
- Restricted installation access
SITE REVIEW · HEIGHTS / ACCESS / ANCHORING
02 · DESIGN GOAL
Fit the outdoor system around the building.
Confirm usable height, roof direction, post positions, drainage and installation method before selecting the final structure.
Recommended direction
Attached or freestanding pergola based on verified site conditions.
A louvered roof provides flexibility where exposure and engineering allow. A fixed roof may be considered when dependable cover is the main goal. Rooftop suitability remains project-specific.
