Pergola, covered or open the 4 season patio

Michelle Huck

Hi Houzzers :)
Big design dilemma and the house isn't even built. The city of Calgary needs us to specify if our patio will be covered, open or pergola or exact mix of those listed. We don't like maintance but love the look of pergola, it sits about 12 feet above the ground, faces south, gets really hot in the summer, we could add sunlights, want to have a firepit somewhere and an eating/BBQ area. Any thoughts? Tips, ideas? Desperate for help- need to decide by Thursday ps removed outdoor fireplace already... Just need to decide look of pillars too
Covered patio
Covered with sunlights
Eaves - no cover?
Pergola
Comments??

    You should take into consideration when and how the space will be used the most: is this an eating area that could be used when the weather is not so sunny or even rainy? Then a full covered area would be the answer. If this is the place that you will be using in the summer to get some rays, you definetly will be better served with a pergola. I personally like a pergula that could have some kind of shading device to allow some shade in the middle of summer, but that is a must when dealing with Florida area. Once the use of the space is defined will be much easier and simple for your to determine what cover you will need. Good luck and keep us posted!

      Call it full covered and put in the require support for a full snow load. You can always decide to do less cover later. It is harder to add more.

      If taxes are as much of a consideration there as in the nYC area, my question to them would be what the tax ramifications of each would be, and then make my decision with full knowledge of the ongoing cost!

      No tax ramifications. Interesting comment though, didn't know that.

      If you're looking to use the space for both shade and sun, you might want to consider something like the Equinox Louvered Roof or another similar product. You use a remote to open and close the louvers as needed. We've used it on a couple of projects with good results.

      Thanks for feedback. I am going to look into louvier system. We are gone in the summer when it is the hottest. Maybe I can hang some heaters under the pergola, I won't b able to leave furniture out though... Well atleast not uncovered. Maybe put a firepit between...

      What would the cost of a 12x12 equinox cost ? Can they hold snow?
