- Bioclimatic pergola
- Wooden pergola with polycarbonate roof
Each canopy and pergola can be complemented with side and front wall developments.
We make built-ins from:
- OpenUp movable boards (wood or aluminium)
- sliding glass
- polycarbonate
Buildings may be in a sliding version, which allows the terrace space to be completely enclosed.
This gives you:- protection from the wind
- greater privacy
- possibility to use the terrace in the colder months
- consistent aesthetics throughout the structure

A canopy or pergola is a structure that is meant to last for years. It has to be stable, aesthetically pleasing and match the building - not only dimensionally, but also structurally and visually. This is why we work differently to companies that combine random elements from different systems.
We do not install „ready-made schemes”. We tailor each structure to the façade, the height of the windows, the slope of the terrain and the use of the terrace. This ensures that the canopy does not look like an extension, but a natural extension of the house.
We can carry out the structure alone or a complete implementation: roofing + wall cladding.
You do not need to look for a second company to close the sides or install the sliding systems. We are responsible for the entire project - from construction to details.
We work with structurally compatible solutions.
The canopy, pergola and side development form a single coherent system. This means better tightness, stability and aesthetics - without improvised connections or technical compromises.
We carry out projects at single-family houses, terraced houses and urban buildings. We are familiar with the technical, formal and installation constraints that arise in different locations.
We operate mainly in the Mazovia region, but we also carry out projects in other regions of Poland. We have an assembly team that works all year round - according to an agreed schedule.
We create structures that are not just an addition to the house.
These are functional living spaces - weatherproof, aesthetically pleasing and designed with everyday comfort in mind.
At Otwrane.co.uk you will find two types of canopies: wall-mounted canopies terraced or free-standing terrace pergolas. You can choose between the material of construction (wood or aluminium) and the type of covering. We offer multi-chambered polycarbonate terrace canopies or electrically operated laths.
Stable and durable construction in anthracite colour. Based on 12×12 cm square posts. A multi-chambered polycarbonate is mounted on the aluminium frame, available in clear, milky or smoked brown, with a UV filter to protect against solar radiation. The roof drains at a slight slant thanks to a concealed gutter system, where gutters and semi-circular downpipes have been discreetly integrated into the legs of the structure. The material is resistant to snow loads, so the roofing does not need to be cleared of snow and performs well all year round.
Timber decking is a classic solution that combines the natural beauty of timber with the durability of construction. Made from glulam glulam BSH, it is strong and resistant to loads. The legs are 14 x 14 cm square. The structure can be painted in the colour of your choice from the wide Rremmers palette. The slightly sloping roof, made of multi-cellular polycarbonate, is available in transparent, milky or smoked brown. Each version has a UV filter on the outside. The canopy works perfectly all year round in Polish weather conditions.
Want to create an elegant and functional space on your terrace or in your garden? The bioclimatic slatted pergola allows you to control light, shade and ventilation to suit the weather and your needs.
You adjust the movable aluminium slats electrically from 0° to 110°. In the closed position, the roof adheres tightly to the frame thanks to a system of seals in the laths and the structure, creating an airtight canopy. Water is drained through an integrated system concealed in the pole.
The bioclimatic lamellar pergola enables the natural regulation of the microclimate under the canopy, providing comfort in various weather conditions.
Do you want to create a bright and durable terrace canopy or outdoor relaxation areas? Aluminium pergola with polycarbonate roof provides permanent protection from rain and snow, while allowing natural light into the house.
The roof is made of 16 mm thick cellular polycarbonate. Depending on the colour you choose, you can achieve the effect of full transparency, gentle light diffusion or clear darkening.
Rainwater is drained through an integrated drainage system concealed in the columns of the structure.
The wooden terrace pergola is a robust and stylish canopy. The construction is made of high-quality glulam BSH. Thanks to its rectangular legs, the pergola has a slender profile. The wood is painted with durable paints from the Remmers range. The slightly sloping roof, available in transparent, milky or smoky brown, provides excellent protection from the sun and the elements thanks to the UV filter.
At what time is it worth ordering a patio roof?
In order to make the most of the summer season and enjoy pleasant relaxation outdoors, it is advisable to order your patio roofing as early as early spring. This is the ideal time to avoid long waits for installation and ensure that the structure is ready for warmer days.
In winter, installation is possible but more challenging due to low temperatures and precipitation, which can make installation difficult. If you are planning an investment, planning the project in advance will allow you to better tailor the details - from material to dimensions and style.
You don't have to decide everything straight away.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about terrace roofing
How much does it cost to roof a terrace in Warsaw?
The price of aluminium terrace roofing in Warsaw starts from PLN 11,995 gross (8% VAT) for the standard size with polycarbonate roof.
In comparison, a timber structure with similar parameters costs from PLN 9,732 gross (8% VAT).
The final price depends on:
- dimensions of the structure,
- construction material: aluminium canopy or wooden canopy
- additional LED lighting,
- possible side buildings.
In the case of realisations in Warsaw and the Mazovia region, we provide a free quote after analysing the dimensions of the terrace and expectations regarding the construction.
Does a terrace canopy require planning permission?
In the case of a detached house, the construction of a terrace canopy usually does not require planning permission, only a notification - especially if the structure is wall-mounted and does not exceed 35 m² in built-up area.
In practice, many realisations of aluminium or timber terrace canopies next to residential buildings can be carried out without the full permit procedure, but it all depends on the local development conditions and the provisions of the local plan.
In Warsaw and the Mazovia region, we always recommend checking with the authorities or consulting a designer before starting installation.
Aluminium or wooden terrace canopy - which to choose?
The choice between aluminium and timber patio roofing depends primarily on budget, house style and expectations of durability and maintenance.
Aluminium terrace canopy
Aluminium construction is resistant to moisture, requires no impregnation and works well in modern buildings. Aluminium does not work like wood, does not crack or change shape when exposed to temperature.
This is a recommended solution for:
houses with modern architecture,
side panels of blinds or glass,
installation of LED lighting in the structure,
investments geared to many years of maintenance-free durability.
The price of an aluminium structure is higher than a wooden one, but this compensates for the lack of maintenance costs in the years to come.
Wooden terrace canopy
Timber roofing is cheaper at the purchase stage and blends well with traditional architecture. Wood gives a natural look and the structure can be easily modified.
However, it requires regular waterproofing and periodic maintenance, especially with intensive exposure to sun and moisture.
This is a good solution if:
The budget is limited,
you care about the natural character of the design,
you accept the need for maintenance.
What to choose in practice?
If you want durability, a modern look and minimal maintenance - an aluminium terrace canopy is a better choice.
If lower initial cost and a classic look are priorities - a wooden canopy may be sufficient.
In the case of realisations in Warsaw and the Mazovia region, it is always advisable to adapt the choice of structure to the dimensions of the terrace, the façade and the planned side development.
How long does it take to install a patio roof?
The installation of a terrace canopy usually takes between 1 and 2 working days for a standard wall construction of medium size. Turnaround time depends on the type of structure, dimensions and extent of additional work.
In the case of aluminium terrace roofing, assembly is usually quicker because the components are prefabricated and prepared for precise bolting on site. The wooden structure requires impregnation and painting.
Assembly time is also affected:
- installation of LED lighting,
- implementation of a possible side development,
- weather conditions.
We install most standard canopies within 1-2 days, without the need for lengthy interventions in the building façade.
Can the terrace canopy be fitted with side covers?
Yes. The terrace canopy can be extended with a side building, which protects against wind, rain and provides privacy.
The most common solution is OpenUp System shutter installation - available in fixed and sliding versions. The movable slats allow you to regulate the light and air inflow, while creating a modern, functional terrace cover.
Alternatively, it is possible to install polycarbonate or glass walls, depending on the degree of development expected and the nature of the project.
In practice, most realisations of aluminium canopies can be extended in the future with a full lateral extension without interfering with the load-bearing structure.
What are the best materials for terrace roofing?
The most commonly used materials are aluminium, wood and polycarbonate. Aluminium is durable and easy to maintain, wood gives a natural look and polycarbonate allows light to pass through while protecting against UV radiation.
How do you keep a wooden canopy in good condition?
Wooden structures require regular waterproofing, painting or oiling. It is also a good idea to remove debris such as leaves or dust to avoid damage caused by moisture.
Is the aluminium pergola wind resistant?
Yes, aluminium pergolas are very wind resistant thanks to their robust construction and warp-resistant materials. However, professional installation is important.
Is polycarbonate resistant to hail?
Yes, polycarbonate is resistant to hail, although very heavy rainfall can cause micro-damage. It is advisable to choose high quality polycarbonate with increased durability.
Can the canopy be installed in winter?
Installation in winter is possible, although more difficult. Low temperatures and precipitation can extend the working time or require additional preparatory measures.
What are the standard dimensions of the canopies?
The most common widths are 3, 4 or 5 metres, but structures with non-standard dimensions to suit individual needs can be ordered.
Does roofing a terrace increase the value of a property?
Yes, a covered terrace increases the value of the property, improving its functionality and aesthetics, which is attractive to potential buyers.
Is it possible to install lighting in a terrace canopy?
Yes, most canopies allow the installation of lighting. LED strips or spot lights that can be integrated into the structure are a popular solution.
What are the differences between a pergola and a terrace canopy?
A pergola is a structure with an open or partially closed form, often fitted with movable laths. A terrace canopy is a more permanent structure with a roof that fully protects against rain.
Can I order a canopy in a non-standard colour?
Yes, both aluminium and wooden structures can be painted in different colours. Aluminium often offers a RAL palette, while wood can be stained or painted to any shade.
Does the terrace roof require regular maintenance?
It depends on the material. Aluminium and polycarbonate require minimal maintenance, limited to cleaning. Wood requires regular waterproofing to maintain its durability and appearance.
What colour polycarbonate would be best for the canopy.
The choice of polycarbonate colour for the terrace canopy depends on its orientation in relation to the world and the amount of light expected:
– Transparent polycarbonate
This is ideal for north-facing terraces where access to natural light is limited. The transparent roof lets in the maximum amount of light, so that the space under the canopy remains bright, which will be especially useful on cloudy days.
– Milk polycarbonate
An excellent choice for east- and west-facing terraces. Provides pleasant, diffused light that softens the harsh sunlight in the morning or afternoon without completely shading the space. It allows you to maintain brightness while protecting you from excessive heat.
– Brown smoked polycarbonate
It will work best on south-facing terraces that are exposed to intense sunlight for most of the day. The brown roof limits the amount of light coming in, providing warm, diffused lighting that creates a cosy atmosphere and prevents the terrace surface from getting too hot.
We ensure the high quality of all the elements we use.
We care about the soundness of the construction and the materials used for it
We work all year round. Fixed deadlines are sacrosanct for us.
