Bespoke terrace roofing – design and installation

The price of a patio canopy depends on its dimensions, the type of structure, the roofing material and any additional features. At Otwierane.pl, we manufacture bespoke aluminium and timber canopies, with the option of fitting LED lighting and side panels.
Please send us photos of your terrace and its approximate dimensions. We will prepare a preliminary quote tailored to your project. We install canopies in Warsaw, the Mazovia region and other parts of Poland.

Not every terrace canopy requires planning permission. The relevant formalities depend, amongst other things, on the type of structure, its surface area, how it is attached to the building, and the planning conditions for the plot.
Depending on the circumstances, a project may require a planning permission, a notification, or may not be subject to these requirements. Before starting work, it is advisable to check the requirements with the relevant authority or to consult a qualified specialist about the project.

An aluminium canopy is the ideal choice if you’re looking for a modern look and easy maintenance. Aluminium is corrosion-resistant and does not require waterproofing.
A wooden roof gives the structure a natural look, but requires regular maintenance. We make both options to measure and can add side extensions.
It is worth basing your choice on the architecture of the house, your budget and your expectations regarding the upkeep of the structure

The installation of a standard terrace canopy usually takes between 1 and 2 working days. The exact time depends on the dimensions of the structure, the type of fixing, the preparation of the ground and the weather conditions.
Additional features, such as LED lighting, side panelling or sliding systems, may extend the duration of the work. We determine the estimated installation time on a case-by-case basis prior to commencing the work.

Yes. We can complement the terrace roofing with side enclosures made from OpenUp System retractable blinds, sliding glass panels or polycarbonate.
Such solutions help to enhance privacy and reduce the ingress of wind and rain. The enclosure can be fitted at the same time as the roof, or added later, provided the technical conditions of the structure allow for this.

Yes, it is possible to install a patio canopy outside the summer season, provided that weather and technical conditions allow.
Low temperatures, rainfall and ground conditions may affect the completion date. Autumn and winter are also a good time to choose a structure, prepare the design and plan the installation ahead of the next season.

Common widths for patio canopies are 3, 4 and 5 metres, but the structure can be tailored to the specific dimensions of your patio.
When selecting a canopy, we take into account the width and depth of the terrace, the installation height, the method of fixing and the structural possibilities. On this basis, we select a solution suited to the specific building.

Yes. Terrace canopies and pergolas can be fitted with LED lighting, which allows you to enjoy the space even after dark.
The type and layout of the lighting should be chosen to suit the structure. It is best to take this into account when planning the roof, so that the installation and the routing of the cables can be prepared accordingly.

A terrace canopy is a roofed structure, usually attached to a building. A pergola can be either wall-mounted or freestanding and is used to provide shelter for a relaxation area.
Depending on the model, the pergola may have a fixed polycarbonate roof or a roof made of adjustable slats, allowing you to control the amount of light.
Both solutions can be supplemented with side extensions.

At Otwierane.pl, we offer polycarbonate in three colours:
Colourless – lets in the most light. A good choice if you want a bright terrace and extra light in the rooms around the house.
Milky (opal) – diffuses light, reducing direct sunlight and harsh contrasts.
Graphite – darkens the space under the canopy and reduces the amount of light that gets through. It’s ideal if you want more shade.
The choice depends on the amount of sunlight the terrace receives, its orientation in relation to the cardinal points, and how much light you wish to let in. It is worth bearing in mind that the colour of the decking also affects the amount of light entering the house.
