Lower Merion Township · Covered Decks

Stay a little longer. Whatever the forecast.

A covered deck adds shelter to an outdoor gathering space. Roof shape, ceiling height, daylight, and the connection to the house all influence how the space feels.

Planning your Lower Merion Township project

Lower Merion Township provides residential expansion guidance and zoning resources for outdoor projects. The proposed structure needs to be considered with the property’s existing buildings and improvements.

We review the proposed roof connection, support locations, drainage, and clearances before construction. A pitched roof or pavilion-style structure should be planned with the deck, rather than added as an afterthought.

Bring these questions to your consultation

  • How will the roof connect to the house?
  • Will the cover affect light inside?
  • Where should roof runoff go?

Photos of your existing space, approximate dimensions, and any available survey are useful for the first conversation. The team will review access, existing conditions, and your goals before establishing a detailed scope.

Covered Decks: the local starting point

Show the full roof outline, posts, and drainage concept with the usable floor area. Review the roof-to-house connection, daylight, posts, and runoff with the deck support design.

What to bring to the consultation

Bring the existing survey or site plan and identify both the new work and any structures being removed.

Official local planning resources

Setbacks and site coverage are central topics in the township’s expansion guidance. The applicable treatment depends on the proposed assembly and parcel, so a generic deck-size allowance is not a substitute for review.

Local resources reviewed October 16, 2026. Confirm current requirements for your parcel and final design with the municipality.

Your project, clearly planned.

Can a roof be added to an existing deck?

Sometimes, but the existing structure and its supports must be evaluated for the proposed roof and connections. A site-specific review is needed before deciding whether to reinforce, rebuild, or design a separate structure.

What affects the cost of covered decks in Lower Merion Township?

The site conditions, size, height, materials, access, and details of the design determine the scope. A consultation and site review are needed before RC Deck Co can provide project-specific pricing.

How do I start a covered decks project in Lower Merion Township?

Call (610) 246-0546 or prepare an estimate request with your address, goals, and photos. The first conversation covers the site and your priorities; the design and written scope follow from that review.
