The problem
Cover was needed without making the adjoining living room feel closed in, while the two side zones needed less direct sun.
Keysborough · Attached patio
A Clearview Patio designed to preserve daylight beside the living room.
A rear house connection and front support posts carry the roof frame. Two panel tint levels were arranged across the roof to balance daylight beside the living room with reduced direct sun over the outer zones.
- Rear house connection
- Two panel tint levels
- Front support posts
The completed project
Fixed rain cover designed to keep the space visually open.
The photographs show how the glazed living-room opening, roof frame, panel zones and front supports relate to one another in the completed installation.
The configuration
The roof frame connects at the rear house line and is supported by posts at the front. Two panel tint levels were positioned around the daylight and solar exposure of each zone.
The result
The patio gained fixed weather cover while the transparent roof and site-specific panel layout kept the outdoor area visually open beside the living room.
Site-specific configuration
Could the same layout work at your home?
This project uses a rear house connection, front support posts and two panel tint levels. The exact fixing point, structural support, panel layout, roof fall, guttering and discharge route are reassessed for every site and documented in the written quote.
What this project can teach us
Start with the room beside the patio.
Here, the living-room side and the two side zones had different priorities. Two panel tint levels addressed that difference within one supported roof configuration. The practical lesson is to discuss each zone before choosing a single panel option for the whole area.
Bring an indoor-to-outdoor view to the next discussion. The roof geometry and panel layout should be considered together; these photographs do not measure indoor daylight or temperature.
