As far as I can see in #2953 and #2955, cables are located in the Ixel. According to my interpretation of the DIN, this is not permissible.

5x4m

In the "real image" you have two posts, while in the 3D version there is a third post in the middle... with the providers I have asked so far, they insisted on a third post starting at 4 meters wide... how come you only have the two? I like it better that way and would also like to have it like that

Which snow load zone do you live in? Aluminum sags quite easily. If there is now 40 cm of snow on the roof, of course even more. There are cross beams that have a steel reinforcement in the core, those can span more than 5 meters.

The first supplier (and at the same time the most expensive) had a third post in the middle. At that time I created the 3D view and haven't changed it since.

In winter, when snow was on it and it got thoroughly soaked with additional sleet, you could see the deflection. However, this is only temporary. It wasn't enough for the sliding doors to get stuck. In an extreme winter, I would prudently clear the roof or put up a construction prop in the middle at the front.

Thank you for the response! In Zone 2... I would currently want the 4m width, with a third post I would go for 5m width

But if, as in our case, the electrics with the wiring for the thermostats have to be bypassed, he just makes a loop.

A loop behind the frame (?)

Hello Axel,

the curve next to the socket and the outgoing cable going upwards is borderline for me. Just check if the 10cm from the edge or the 30cm from the edge (20cm installation zone vertical) were observed, because then the cables lie within the installation zone.

Hello Tom 1607,
today I walked through the whole house once more. The cable in the study is actually the only one that lies just outside the installation zone. With the picture I posted, I probably hit the bullseye. And maybe I am not entirely innocent in the cable position, since in the study I wanted the switches as close as possible to the door frame to have space for shelves.

A curve behind the frame (?)

Hello 11ant,
yes, the cable now partly lies behind the frame. Luckily, I took photos of really all cables and will refer to them if I ever am tempted to hammer a nail into the wall near the installation zone (and I also have a suitable detector in the toolbox).
Since the electrician apparently only slightly left the installation zone in the study, I should probably tolerate this cable position deviating from the standard. Otherwise, everything really seems to fit, and he worked very neatly.

Best regards

Axel
