Glass canopy without posts - What kind of attachment is used in ETICS?

Hello everyone,

surely some of you have a glass canopy without posts on an ETICS. I have seen the following variants:
1. Hanging on tie rods via point holders
2. Cantilevered
3. Cantilever bracket
4. Angled tube bracket (basically resting on two angles)
5. "Normal" tube bracket

The questions would be: Which would be the "ideal" (most stable, most durable, lowest maintenance and cleaning effort) type of attachment? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each type? Do I absolutely need a water drainage? If yes, how is it designed? (For example, I can't imagine this for the cantilevered variant)

Additionally: What dimensions make sense? Door width + 1 m each on the left and right?

I would write these questions to the manufacturer of your prefabricated house.

Did you not plan any additional reinforcement during the planning? We did that with the terrace and the entrance.

We ourselves have a Schwörerhaus, they sent us plans showing where the beams run and where the measurement points are. For example, that’s how I attached our sun sail or the hose reel, etc.

Could certainly ask the "Lieblingsheinz," but more valuable are experience reports from builders who have had it installed for a few years.

Not explicitly yet, we have 24cm hollow bricks (Poroton).

No, there is no guarantee with reviews. Sorry. But to my knowledge, there are standard dowels for any type, including for [Terra-Überdachungen]. And the experts for these things know about it!

We screwed a wooden beam to the wall at that spot before insulating. Then plaster. Then the cold winter garden could be quite easily "screwed on" from the outside without having to worry about the insulation material. That’s how it went with the cold winter garden.

With a later installed, freestanding canopy in front of the front door, it was done the same way, except that the wooden beam was subsequently slotted into the insulation.

So far, everything holds up, even with a lot of snow. Whether it’s the most elegant solution, I don’t know. :-)

Thank you for the hint, How was the wooden beam sealed towards the insulation material (Styrofoam?). I can imagine that there are thermal bridges and a lot of potential for mold due to moisture...

How wide and deep is your porch?
