Terrace canopies are a great addition to your outdoor space, ideal for both relaxation and social occasions.
Whether you want to enjoy a quiet reading nook or a dining table for friends and family, it's important to determine the right size for your canopy.
Determining the correct dimensions
What you ultimately want to do with your patio cover is important in choosing the right dimensions.
This is why it is essential to have an idea in advance of what purpose you are placing the canopy for:
- For a cozy sitting area
A compact canopy of about 3 x 3 meters is perfect for a small company. Ideal for enjoying a cup of coffee or a good book. - Dining table and social occasions
For hosting dinner parties or if you like to eat outside with your family, a more spacious canopy is recommended. A size of at least 4 x 3 meters offers comfortable space for a dining table and freedom of movement. - Relaxation with Jacuzzi
It is best to keep in mind the dimensions of your jacuzzi. Make sure there is enough space around the jacuzzi for easy access and maintenance. - Combination possibilities
For those with wider gardens, a 6-meter-wide canopy can combine several functions, such as a sitting area and dining area, or even a Jacuzzi.

Permit-free shelters
It is also important to consider local building codes. In many cases, a canopy can be installed without a permit, depending on its size and location. Always check with your local municipality.
