Plan the cover with the house and patio
Carry water away
Roof slope, gutters, downspouts and patio elevations should discharge water without creating a new low point.
Leave room below the cover
Posts and beams need to clear doors, windows, grills, furniture and the main walking paths.
Plan for the conditions the project will face
Windsor's current residential design criteria use a 115 mph ultimate wind speed, a 30 psf ground snow load and severe-weathering classification. Those published criteria reinforce why the project-specific load path, attachment, footings and drainage matter; Fulcrest does not assign a generic load rating from the cover's appearance.
- Cover size and roof form
- House attachment or freestanding supports
- Footings, engineering and access
- Roofing, drainage and finish details
- Electrical, kitchen and permit coordination

Questions about patio covers projects in Windsor
What is the practical difference between a pergola and patio cover?+
A pergola typically filters sunlight through an open structure. A solid patio cover sheds rain and carries roof and snow loads, so it requires a drainage strategy and often a different structural and approval path.
How does Windsor determine patio-cover requirements?+
The Town publishes permit handouts and directs residents to its Permit Technician. The property, setbacks, attachment, span and supporting plans determine what is required.
