What's included
- A kit: the frame, the roof or louvres, and the fixings for the frame. Delivered, not fitted.
- Made to measure and fitted: a site visit, the frame made to your size, the roof, and fitting.
- Ask for in writing: the base, wall fixings, flashing, electrics, sides, VAT and the guarantee.
What pushes it up or down
- Size and span. Bigger spans need heavier sections.
- The roof. Open rafters cost least; hand louvres, motorised louvres and a sliding roof cost more, in that order.
- Sides. Screens, blinds or glass on the weather side.
- The base. A sound, level patio costs nothing extra. New pads or a slab do.
- The wall. Solid block is simple. Insulated render or timber frame needs the right brackets.
- Power. Lights, a heater or a motor need an electrician.

Questions people ask
Why do fitted prices start higher than kits?
They include the visit, making it to size, and putting it up. A kit price is the box at your gate.
Is VAT included?
Ask. Kit prices in shops include it. A fitter's price may not.
What costs least with a roof on it?
A timber kit with polycarbonate sheets, or a steel louvred kit at €1,075 to €2,155.
