What Snow & Wind Loads Does My Patio Cover Need to Meet?
To make sure your patio cover is designed safely, you’ll need to know your local snow/live load requirements (lbs./sq. ft.) and wind-speed requirements (mph), as specified by your city or municipality. Your local building department also determines whether a building permit is required. If a permit is required, we strongly recommend obtaining it before making your purchase.
Â
Panel thickness, beam placement, beam size and distance between posts are determined by the snow and wind loads your W-Pan patio cover will be subject to. Please obtain the load requirements for your area so we can provide the correct material thickness and configuration for a safe, long-lasting installation.
