I am working a a bid for a customer. They want a roof built over their patio. It will be built with a bead board ceiling and some skylights. Its a porch aside from no floor system. I am looking for a nice way to refer to this space besides calling it a roof. 14x14 with a gable roof and cathedral ceiling. Like I said no floor /deck .
What would you call a roof over a patio?

I typically call it a transitional space since it's technically transitioning from indoor to outdoor. Also, we had to use our home build folks to construct the roof so it's also transitioning from home to landscape design.
Love making spaces like these, even tho they take forever. Looks great in the end.

Lanai would be more accurate than portico. Porticos are for entranceways.
Maybe in the freak state of Hawaii
I clicked the thread because I thought "hey there's somewhere else they build Hawaii style houses" shoulda known it was just dwb.
And we do call it a lanai... Don't know any other word besides "covered porch"

On a residence, unless it's covering your front door, it's generally not a portico.

We call them awnings. Not sure where all these other phrases came from but that has always been the proper term to use. Maybe this is because I was born up north? I don't know.
