Decks and Patios, Industry Glossary of Terms |
Balcony
a platform, usually on the outside of a building.
Balustrade
ornamental rail supported by baluster posts.
Carport
an open-sided structure consisting of a roof and supporting posts, for the purpose of
accommodating a vehicle.
Collar Tie the beam extending from one side of a gable to the other, tying in the two
opposing posts.
Composite
- Normally for exterior decks. These products are made of a unique combination of wood and
plastic fibers from reclaimed or recycled resources. Including sawdust and used pallets from woodworking operations, and recycled
plastic grocery bags from all over the country.
Deck Cover Similar to a Patio Cover; an
engineered roof built of a structural sheeting (not roofing iron such as corrugated
or Trim deck) and designed specifically for an existing or proposed deck.
Double Pitch
two sloping back to back roof sections forming a triangular design shape.
Eave
if your roof overhangs the walls of your house, then the overhang is referred to as the eaves.
The width of an eave can vary from one house to another. Some homes may not have eaves all around.
Encloser side walls, windows and doors added to an existing roofed area.
Engineered Wood - Wood fibers and/or particles that have been bonded with synthetic resins
under heat and pressure are formed into panels or boards. Engineered wood is more dimensionally stable and easier to machine than solid
wood or plywood, making it the choice of many cabinet manufacturers for cabinet boxes and laminate clad door styles. " Grain-free
" surfaces yield smoother surface bonding of laminates.
External L
refers to a patio to be roofed that forms an ‘L’ shape as it wraps around the corner of a house.
Flyover
a design where the Patio Cover is attached to a supporting beam and post system raised above the house gutter.
Footing
a supporting structure, usually below the surface and used in the absence of a slab. Made of concrete,
it will be a bell-shaped block from which the post will stand.
Free Standing
a Patio Cover design (or Carport) not connected to or relying on any part of the home or other
structure for structural support.
Glaze - A staining process that creates highlights on natural wood.
Heartwood - Heartwood is wood that may contain deposits of minerals that may result
in streaks of much darker colors than the sapwood portions of the tree area closest to the bark.
I-Beam - A horizontal support member made from steel as ordered.
Knot -
A naturally occurring whorl in lumber created where a branch extended from a tree.
MDF -
An engineered wood offering an extremely tight, smooth surface. Exceptionally stable, MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard)
is favored for laminating with thermofoils.
Outdoor Screen
Like a fence, although it doesn’t have to be attached to anything and materials are more varied, such as vinyl,
outdoor fabric, plastic mesh, or shrubs, vines or trees planted together for privacy.
Path, Pathway A walkway in a landscape that guides foot traffic or links
separate spaces. Pathway materials include brick, concrete slabs, flagstone, bark, adobe block, river rock, rough cobbles, wood rounds,
gravel or stepping stones. Various groundcovers can be grown to fill in spaces between pathway materials.
Patio From the Spanish word patio, meaning back yard or back garden. An outdoor
living space often adjoining a residence, used for dining, entertaining or relaxation. Patios may or may not have covers or roofs and are
usually paved areas between the house and garden. Patios can be made of concrete, brick, stone, gravel, pavers,
flagstone or numerous other materials.
Patio Garden A garden surrounding a patio or deck used to create a comfortable
outdoor space. Patio gardens can provide privacy, screen bad views, frame good views, soften hardscaping, provide shade and protection
from the wind. They also offer an up-close and personal view and relationship with plants -- delighting the senses through touch, smell
and the obvious visual benefits.
Pergola
A frame structure -- usually made of wood or powder-coated metal -- that consists of posts with a lattice roof,
designed to support vines.
Play Area, Play Yard
A designated outdoor space for children’s activities. Considerations include allowing space for fall zones; soft
ground cushioning, like wood chips, sand or recyclable materials and shelter from sun or wind.
Pond A small pool of water in various sizes, shapes and styles.
Ponds can be made of brick, concrete, stone or tile. Water features include spray fountains, waterfalls and spill fountains.
Porch
A low structure -- often with a roof -- situated at the entrance of a house or building.
Post
Vertical wood or metal pole fixed in the ground, serving as a support for a beam, as a marker, or place for attaching something.
Rafter a roof beam not usually associated with Patio Covers.
It will project from the leading edge (house fascia) to the trailing (outside) edge.
Rafter Brackets steel plate and threaded rod connecting the Patio Cover to the trusses of the
home’s roof.
Rafter Tails the very ends of the top cords of the house trusses.
Ramada
Simple, often rustic structure, derived from the Spanish word
ramaje(arbor). Originally built to provide shelter from the sun during harvest time, they were often made of mesquite or
cottonwood poles and ocotillo stems, and were open on at least three sides to maximize the potential for breezes. Modern versions may be
attached to a residence or freestanding.
Rear Receiver the component responsible for fixing the structural roof sheeting of a
Patio Cover to the house fascia.
Rococo
Rococo is a style of French design and decor that originated in the mid-18th century. Rococo was the last part of the
French Baroque style and is characterized by rich decoration and a variety of motifs, including deep swirls. In exterior design,
rococo-style balconies are made of detailed ironwork, such as interlacing scrolls supported on ornate brackets. These were a change
from classical stone balustrded balconies.
Screen Plantings
Landscaping used to screen an area for privacy, to block an objectionable view, or to serve as a natural boundary or border.
Selections might include dense, fast-growing, evergreen shrubs, trees, vines, large succulents and tall ornamental grasses
Spa
Like a hot tub, a spa massages bathers with hot, bubbling water from built-in jets. Both require the same type of support
equipment. But spas are made of concrete, acrylic reinforced with fiberglass or high-impact thermoplastics. Hot tubs are more rustic,
made of wood, and resemble big barrels.
Spa Surround
An area that houses a spa and ensures privacy. Features might include a privacy screen; wooden decking; downlights for safety;
and a skirt, which hides the spa’s support system.
Tongue and Groove -
