Cover the seat in the garden


The Content Of The Article:

Sitting in the garden is a popular activity in summer. It is even nicer if this seating area is covered, so even a short summer rain does not put an end to this fun.
A seat in the garden usually offers space for chairs and a table.
Sometimes there is a barbecue on the seat. Since you do not want to bring these things back into the garden shed every time you use them, a covered seating area is ideal.
To protect against prying eyes, a pergola is usually chosen. If such a border already exists a good basis for the roofing of the seat is given. At the roofing of a seat in the garden high demands are made.
As the canopy is usually fixed, it must withstand the prevailing weather conditions throughout the year. Wood is therefore very well suited for a fixed roof. But there are other possibilities.
What are the options for roofing a seat in the garden?
The simplest variant is the canopy with a folding pavilion made of weather-resistant plastic. These are available in every hardware store and in different colors and they are cheap.
The downside is that they are usually broken down over the winter and then laboriously build up again the following spring. In addition, they do not necessarily defy all weather. Even a precise construction does not guarantee that the pavilion falls victim to a storm.
A massive wooden roof is a lot better for sitting in the garden. Although you have to invest more time for the construction, bring a bit of manual skill and dig deeper into the bag, but holds such roofing several years, if not decades. If the canopy is permanently connected to the ground, a building permit may be required.
A suitable seat canopy can be bought as a finished kit or you can only buy the material and design the canopy according to your own ideas. Highly recommended is still a wooden pavilion, which is also available as a finished kit to buy. But you can also have it custom made and built by a company.
Himself is the man - build a seat canopy yourself
The independent roofing of a seat in the garden succeeds anyone who is a bit handicrafted. The base of the canopy forms a foundation. How big this should be, depends on how big you want to have your seat. If there is already a concrete seat, of course no foundations have to be laid.
The sheltering components of the canopy are poles. These must be firmly embedded in concrete. As a roof you can opt for a translucent material or for a real roof with bricks.
This depends on your own taste, what you want to spend for the roofing and what knowledge you have in the roofing. If necessary, you can hire a specialist to cover the roof.
It is important that the roof has an angle of inclination so that rainwater can run off. It should also be noted how the sun's incidence changes throughout the day.
Especially when a decision between a wooden roof and a roof made of glass or similar is pending, it must be thought. Under a glass roof, it can quickly become uncomfortable, the sun beats from noon to evening on this. In that case you have hardly any benefit from the seating roofing.
The right material is significantly involved in the durability of the seat roofing. The wood used for the posts and for the roof construction must therefore be suitable for outdoor use. Metal parts such as screws and angles are best chosen from stainless steel.
