Having a terrace in the garden is a dream for many people. It is a place where you can enjoy the fresh air, relax and spend time with loved ones. However, when you plan to expand your terrace with a pergola, the question often arises: does such a structure require a building permit?
We will take a closer look at terrace pergolas and explain whether they are covered by building permit regulations.
What is a terrace pergola?
Pergola is a modern and functional structure of small architecture, which is ideal both on the terrace and in the garden. It can be a wooden, steel or aluminum structure . It is designed to provide shade and protection from the sun and rain, while creating a pleasant outdoor space.
The Win Climatic Pergola additionally offers full automation via remote control or smartphone. More than a canopy, the Pergola is a smart solution that allows you to control the roof, lighting, shades or music from one place.
– With a remote control or smartphone, you can easily open or close the pergola’s roof, adjust the lighting to suit your mood, and turn on your favorite music.
– In addition, our pergolas can be equipped with covers i.e. Win Screen, Win Glass, Win Panels….
Does a terrace pergola require a building permit?
A terrace pergola such as Win Climatic is designed as a lightweight structure that is not considered a permanent structure. The weight of a pergola can vary significantly depending on the materials used, nevertheless, an aluminum pergola, regardless of its weight, is classified as a piece of “small architecture.” This means that it does not require a building permit or notification.
Nor does this classification depend on how the pergola is installed. Even if it is a wall-mounted model and will be permanently fixed to the ground and facade, it still does not require a permit.
This is good news for anyone planning to expand their terrace. Not having a building permit means saving time, which can be spent enjoying the new element in your space.
