Winter outdoor living costs: This is how much budget you need

A winter backyard is an enrichment for every home. It creates a light-flooded space that allows you to be close to nature all year round—whether as a retreat, a meeting place for family and friends, or as an eye-catcher for your backyard or patio. But before you plan your winter backyard, we would like to inform you transparently about all the costs involved.

From the type to the material to extras such as lighting and heating – the winter backyard costs are made up of many factors. Planning, foundations, and possible permits can also play a role. So that you know exactly what is important, you will find out everything you need to know here to correctly estimate the costs for your winter backyard.

How much will my winter outdoor living space cost?

The question “How much does a winter backyard cost?” Of course, there is no general answer. Various factors come into play here. On the one hand, it depends on your wishes and needs. On the other hand, it also depends on the circumstances and what material and what extras you want. Winter backyard prices usually start at $10,000. Of course, there are no upper limits.

On average, you should expect a winter backyard to cost between $1,000 and $2,500 per square meter. Smaller models can also be cheaper, while large, luxurious winter backyards are also significantly more expensive.

The winter backyard costs per square foot depend entirely on what you want and what needs you want to cover. In addition, a warm winter backyard is a little more expensive than a cold winter backyard, as you need completely different options to control the temperature of your additional room in winter.

Types of Winter Backyards: These Differences Exist

As we have already mentioned, when it comes to winter backyards, a basic distinction is made between warm winter backyards and cold winter backyards. Which choice you make will, of course, also affect the price. At PERGOLUX, we only rely on constructions made of aluminum, as this material is durable and requires little maintenance.

We have the following 2 models on offer:

• A Cold Winter Backyard suits you if you are looking for a protected, light-flooded room that protects against wind, rain, and snow, but is not intended for year-round use. Perfect for the transitional periods of spring and autumn or as a protected area for plants that cannot tolerate frost.

• The PERGOLUX Crystal Glass Roof Cold Winter Backyard is particularly suitable if you are looking for a very good price-performance ratio and want to visually enhance your patio or backyard and make it even more functional. Here you can spend time comfortably, enjoy nature, or simply create additional space for special moments.

• A Warm Winter Backyard is the ideal choice if you want to enjoy a cozy, light-filled space all year round that protects you from all weather conditions. Thanks to the high-quality insulation and optional heating options, it is perfect as an extension of your living space—whether you want to relax in it, receive guests, or simply experience nature all year round.

• The PERGOLUX Crystal Warm Winter Backyard impresses with an elegant Scandinavian design that is stylish and robust at the same time. The construction made of high-quality aluminum and safety glass not only offers maximum protection but also allows plenty of light into the interior. With flexible glass side elements, you can adapt the winter backyard perfectly to your needs and the conditions of your patio.

Costs for planning and permits should also not be forgotten. At the same time, the price of the winter backyard also depends on the material, accessories, and much more.

Planning and Approval Costs

Before building your winter backyard, you need to plan exactly where you want to place it. Planning only costs you some time but no money. For approval, you have to expect 0.4% - 1%, depending on the state.

Foundation Costs

To ensure that your winter backyard can withstand the specified wind load, you should build a point foundation. This includes costs for ready-made concrete, some structural steel (to stabilize the concrete and prevent cracks), and possibly formwork. You can get these building materials at your local hardware store.

Maintenance and Servicing

At PERGOLUX, we use aluminum as a material because it is considered particularly durable and therefore requires no maintenance. Costs are only incurred for appropriate cleaning products to clean your winter backyard when necessary.
