Sit outside, even when the weather won't play
Covered terraces
A covered terrace stretches your summer at both ends. We draw it to the size of your terrace and the line of your house, have it prepared to the millimetre and set it in place in a single day.
What you get
Covered terraces in solid timber
Most of the covered terraces we make stand against the house, with a flat roof or a gentle fall to the back. That is the calmest form and it suits almost any home. If the roof stands freestanding in the garden, a gable or hipped roof often works better: it gives the structure a face of its own instead of looking like an add-on.
We work with solid Douglas fir and oak. They are timbers that belong outdoors, weather beautifully and don't need treating every year. The posts are sturdy enough to stay visible — so you look at the frame itself, not at a boxed-in skeleton.
A simple 3 × 4 metre covered terrace in Douglas fir starts at around € 4,500 including installation.
