Protected patio plan

A louvered pergola and glass walls planned as one outdoor room.

This outdoor room concept combines an adjustable pergola roof with frameless glass walls, then adds screens, heat, lighting, and controls where the site supports them.

What it creates

A protected outdoor room that can still open back up.

The value is not one product by itself. It is the way the roof, walls, comfort options, controls, and furniture plan work together around real outdoor living.

Open when the day is comfortable

Stack the glass, open the louvers, and keep the patio connected to the pool, yard, or view.

Close down for comfort

Use glass and the roof to reduce wind, rain, glare, and shoulder-season chill without giving up clear sightlines.

Plan the details together

Drainage, power, heat, lighting, screens, doors, and furniture all work better when they are decided before ordering.

Fit comes first

The site decides the right glass, screen, and comfort plan.

A protected outdoor room needs more than matching materials. EDG checks structure, water, movement, airflow, power, and the way people will actually use the patio.

Wade shows why the finished-room view matters.

The Wade outdoor room brings together a louvered roof, lighting, glass, drainage, and a poolside entertaining layout. It is a good example of how the systems become easier to understand when the buyer can see the final living space.

Your site may call for a different glass operation, screen strategy, heating plan, or roof layout. EDG uses the same finished-room thinking before recommending the components.

Common questions

Pergolas, glass, screens, and comfort options

Is a pergola plus glass outdoor room the same as an addition?

No. This is usually a protected outdoor living space, not a sealed interior addition. The goal is to make the patio more comfortable for more usable days while keeping it openable.

Can glass walls be added to any louvered pergola?

Not always. The structure, opening size, drainage, panel stack area, wind exposure, and attachment points need to be reviewed before recommending glass.

When should screens be used instead of glass?

Screens are often better for insect control, sun control, privacy, and everyday ventilation. Glass is stronger when the goal is clearer views with more wind and rain comfort. Some rooms use both in different openings.

Can heaters and lighting be included?

Yes, when the site supports it. EDG plans heat, lighting, power, controls, and mounting details with the roof and wall systems so the finished room feels intentional.

How does EDG price this kind of outdoor room?

Pricing depends on size, roof system, glass type, opening layout, site work, electrical, comfort options, permits, and installation access. EDG reviews the site before quoting the complete installed plan.
