Need help with Covered Patio Design

Gennadiy Baturin

I have a concrete slab in South-West part of the house. The size is about 20x20



It is shady in the morning, but in the afternoon, when it could be used the most of the time it has too much sun.


This is how it looks now:




I am thinking to build a cover, type of pergola or something, but need help with the placement and design in general.


I want it to cover the double door, so I do not get wet if have to go out in the rain.

Another problem is the bay windows. I have a couple of chairs inside next to this window, not sure if I will get enough light with the cover.


I would like to have couch, table, maybe fireplace under the cover. Also it would be nice to keep dining table to eat outside.


I have no idea how to approach the area design in general.

I do not know what size to build, is it the bigger the better?

Should it attached to the house or detached on the posts?


Any advise is appreciated.


Thank you
