  • the invention relates to a method of erecting a pergola structure alongside the exterior of a building such as a house, wherein the roof of the pergola structure is appendent to the roof of the building.
  • the invention is not restricted to the construction of pergolas and may have application to other auxiliary and appendant structures such as an awning, carport or conservatory.
  • the invention also resides in a support structure for a pergola and an appendent structure support member for supporting a pergola structure.
  • an appendent structure support member for supporting an appendent structure such as a pergola from a roofing structure having roofing beams and roof cladding
  • the appendent structure support member including: a first attachment portion for attachment to one of the roofing beams; a second attachment portion for supporting the appendent structure; and a connecting means extending between the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion, the connecting means adapted to extend through the roof cladding.
  • the first attachment portion may be in the form of a bracket such as a plate, channel member or an L-shaped member.
  • the bracket has holes extending therethrough allowing it to be bolted to the roofing beam.
  • the second attachment portion similarly may take the form of a bracket as described above and be attached directly to the appendent structure by fasteners or other means.
  • a support structure for supporting an appendent structure such as a pergola from a roofing structure having roofing beams and roof cladding including: a plurality of appendent structure support members as described above, the support members being secured to respective roofing beams; and a support beam secured to the second attachment portion of each of the appendent structure support members.
  • the appendent structure support members are arranged linearly at the same height so that the beam extends substantially horizontally.
  • the support members are preferably located at spaced intervals, corresponding to the location of roofing beams to which they are attached.
  • the roof of the appendent structure is directly secured to the beam.
  • the appendent structure may take the form of a pergola.
  • the roof of the pergola may comprise clear/translucent plastic material such as polycarbonate or fibreglass sheeting.
  • the roof of the pergola could include opaque members which are moveable to control the amount of light admitted through the roof.
  • the roof of the pergola may comprise a series of pivotable strips to control the amount of light admitted therethrough.
  • the support structure will extend from the lower edge of the roofing structure.
  • the upper edge of the support structure will be spaced above the roof cladding at that location.
  • each of the appendent structure support members will extend through the roof cladding at a common distance from the fascia/guttering. This distance is preferably between half a metre and a metre.
  • the gap thereby provided between the roof cladding and the support beam may remain open to allow for ventilation and free flow of water down the roof cladding into the gutter.
  • a barrier may be provided to minimize drafts and prevent wind driven rain from blowing through the gap.
  • adjustable vents could be provided in the gap between the support beam and the roof cladding.
  • the support structure may be utilized to support a pergola from flat roofs or steeply inclined roofs.

  • the connecting means will be of smaller transverse dimensions than either of the first or second attachment portions.
  • the appendent structure support member comprises two separable portions to simplify mounting to the roofing structure and to reduce the size of the hole required in the roof cladding.
  • the appendent structure support member may be separable along the length of the connecting means, the connecting means comprising two detachable parts. This will reduce the required size of the hole in the roof cladding to a size fractionally larger than the transverse dimensions of the connecting means.
  • the first attachment portion may be secured to the roofing beam with the associated part of the connecting means extending tlirough the hole in the roof cladding. This part may then be connected to the other part of the connecting means to form the overall appendent structure support member.
  • the connecting means will be between 0.2 metres and 0.5 metres in length.
  • the length will be adjustable.
  • one part of the connecting means may be telescopically received by the other part.
  • one part may threadingly engage with the other part to enable connection between the two parts and to allow length adjustment of the connecting means.
  • the connecting means will extend in a substantially upright manner from the location at which the first attachment portion is connected to the roofing beam.
  • the connecting means is suitably designed to withstand compressive loading.
  • the connecting means may also extend at an angle to the vertical, although the feasibility of this may depend on the inclination of the roof. Therefore, the connecting means and the attachment portions may be also designed with transverse loading in mind.
  • a seal may be provided to seal between the connecting means and the hole in the roof cladding to ensure that water does not enter the roof through this hole.
  • a method of supporting an appendent structure, such as a pergola, from a roofing structure having roofing beams and roof cladding comprising: extending a plurality of support members through respective holes in the roof cladding; attaching one end of each support member to a roofing beam; and mounting part of the appendant structure at the other end of the support members.
  • the spacing of the support members may correspond with the location of the roofing beams.
  • the support members may be provided in two parts enabling one part of each support member to be attached to the associated roofing beam prior to the other part of the support member being attached to the first mentioned part.
  • the appendent structure may be directly connected to the support members.
  • a beam may be connected thereto and supported by the support members, the roof of the appendent structure then being fixed to the beam.
  • other support members are provided to support the distal edges of the appendent structure.
  • the support members comprise appendent structure support members as described above.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an appendent structure support member in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention
