Hello everyone,
we are currently thinking about shading/covering our terrace.
We have a terrace on the south side with a depth of 4 meters and a width of just under 8 meters.
However, the terrace is structured in such a way that we do not want/cannot cover/shade the entire part of the terrace, as that would simply be too much and not necessary.
What is important to us is a depth of about 3-4 meters, preferably 4. The width of the awning should be around 5-6 meters.
Basically, we have purchased all the terrace furniture in weatherproof design, so I basically leave everything in place (whether winter or summer). In winter, everything is made weatherproof accordingly, but in summer everything stays.
Due to the price ratio, as well as the installation difficulty/effort and space requirements, a reasonable awning is definitely an alternative for me.
The advantage of a terrace roof does not really become clear to me.
However, I have some concerns about an awning:
- We have really strong winds in our new development area. Can an awning with a 3-4 meter extension depth really withstand that when the wind picks up? Are awnings also sufficiently rainproof so that you can sit and grill dry even in light rain?
Has anyone perhaps considered something similar and now has experience reports on the subject of awnings?
I look forward to any input in this area!
