02 / SCREENED TERRACE
Raised deck with full-height side screens
Pale side screens sit within a dark frame above a deck with steps and railings.
Layout considerations
Allow for access, guardrails and the clearance needed to operate the selected screens.
03 / POOLSIDE PATIO
Poolside pergola with lighting and screens
A dark roof frame, lit underside and lowered side screens surround a table beside the pool.
Layout considerations
Coordinate walking routes, screen positions and electrical equipment with the pool setting.
04 / OUTDOOR DINING
White roof over a paved dining area
A white roof structure covers a paved dining corner with an open edge toward the lawn.
Layout considerations
Plan the table footprint, chair movement and the route between house and garden.
05 / EVENING LOUNGE
House-side pergola with lounge seating
A dark frame and lounge seating establish an outdoor area beside the house under an evening sky.
Layout considerations
Locate seating and lighting around the main view and the access from the house.
06 / LOUNGER DECK
Louvered roof over a lounger deck
A broad roof covers a deck with rows of loungers and an open view along the perimeter.
Layout considerations
Compare circulation space, furniture spacing and the number of roof zones needed.
07 / GARDEN FOOTPRINT
White roof above two garden seating zones
A white roof spans two visible outdoor zones, with seating, planting and garden paths around it.
Layout considerations
Check support positions against paving, landscaping and the furniture layout.
08 / JOINED ROOF AREAS
Adjoining dark louvered roof sections
Two dark louvered roof areas meet over a paved terrace bordered by trees.
Layout considerations
Resolve the junction, post positions and drainage in the selected system drawing.

The following illustrated settings explore roof, enclosure and lighting combinations for your own space.
REGIONAL DESIGN GUIDE
Plan for the place you live.
A sunny pool deck, a winter garden and a rain-exposed coast call for different choices. Coordinate shade, materials, side enclosures and drainage around the climate and use of your outdoor space.
United States
Sun, shade and coastal patios
Adjustable louvers and side screens help shape daylight and privacy. Coastal projects also need finish, fastener and drainage choices matched to exposure.
- Imperial or metric dimensions
- Shade and side-screen layout
- Finish and outlet coordination
Canada
Cold-season terraces and garden rooms
Coordinate roof geometry, local snow-design requirements and seasonal operation. Choose glass, lighting and heating for the intended use, with thermal insulation designed separately.
- Metric dimensions
- Local snow and support inputs
- Glazing and seasonal use
Northern Europe
Rain-exposed coastal living
Coordinate closed-roof water collection, internal beam-and-post drainage and discharge at the base. Detail side enclosures and exposed connections around the local site.
- Metric dimensions
- Internal rainwater route
- Coastal connections and enclosure
Coastal poolside living
A light-finish freestanding pergola brings adjustable shade to an open pool deck while keeping sightlines clear and coordinating rainwater discharge with the landscape.
Wall-mounted residential integration
A wall-mounted roof line can preserve more of the terrace while front posts define the drainage and support points. Attachment, sealing, electrical routing and side-screen interfaces are resolved for the actual building condition.
Evening entertaining
A dark architectural frame, warm integrated lighting and optional side enclosures create a defined outdoor room for dining and conversation after sunset.
Four-season planning for Canada
Sliding glass, screens, lighting and heating can be coordinated with a site-specific review of snow, wind, foundations and seasonal operation.
Larger terraces with room to move
A four-corner-post layout creates a clear central space for lounge furniture, dining and circulation. Spans, loads, connections and foundations are coordinated with the site, with additional bays integrated where the layout calls for them.
