A patio cover is a perfect solution to improve your home and maximize time spent outside. Are you enjoying the beautiful weather in Elk Grove, CA? Or, do you spend most of your days inside because the backyard isn’t comfortable for relaxation? Installing a patio cover can be a great solution, but you need to consider the way the design will impact the safety and durability of your home.
Wind Load and Outside Structures
Most of the time, there isn’t a concern about the way the wind will impact your home. If the right construction techniques are used, then the property will withstand the average winds that blow through the area. Certain building codes need to be met to ensure that the roof and windows will stay strong during inclement weather.
But, there are times when wind bursts can move through due to unusual weather patterns. Even though these wind levels aren’t common, you need to make sure that all structures on your property are built to withstand the wind.
Our team understands the dynamics of wind and weather patterns. So, we use special strategies to ensure the durability of your patio cover. The roof system will be designed to maintain strength despite the weather conditions outside.
Why Does Wind Load Matter?
Even if the wind doesn’t seem severe, ongoing exposure to the patio cover could eventually lead to failure. Often, the wear and tear are based on the location of the patio cover compared to your home. If the wind often blows at the patio cover directly, then it could catch the wind in the right way that causes damage.
We can build the features that will protect your patio cover, which in turn helps to protect your home. A strong cover on the patio provides a buffer to minimize the impact of the weather on that side of the house. All construction factors need to be built into the designs, such as the rafters, posts, and support beams.
