A ground-level patio with no roof often needs no permit. Add a solid cover, and it becomes a structural accessory improvement the city wants to review, whether it's attached to the house or freestanding. We size the posts, beams, and connections for that reality from the first sketch, not after a plan gets rejected.
A solid patio cover has to carry Utah's winter snow load the same way a roof does, which is a very different structural question than an open-air patio. We calculate the load for your site and size the framing accordingly, rather than treating the cover as a light-duty add-on.
Many of Bluffdale's newer developments review roof pitch, materials, colors, and placement before the city ever sees your plans. We confirm which approvals apply to your property and coordinate both processes so you're not designing the same cover twice.
Ground that freezes and thaws can heave shallow footings and push posts out of level. We place footings below Utah's frost line, typically 30 inches or more, and confirm the exact depth Bluffdale requires before we dig.
Sourced from Utah's residential building code. Confirm current permit and HOA requirements with Bluffdale City before building.
Cost depends on size, material, whether the system is retractable or a solid roof, and how it attaches to your home, so we price each one after we see your yard. A solid patio cover generally needs a building permit, and HOA approval usually comes first in newer Bluffdale developments. Rules change, so confirm with the city and your HOA before you build.

Start My Project
Working with Joey and his team at 3sixtyindustries was a great experience. They were honest, fair, and extremely easy to work with throughout the entire process. They did such a great job. I have no complaints about anything. We love our new deck—highly recommend!
Crus and Joey built a beautiful deck for us! We were tired of our small, wood steps that attracted wasps. We contacted them and they were able to expand our space to be a place for us to enjoy time with our dogs and enjoy being outside! I am so happy with the work they’ve done! Communication was great and they were very respectful of our space and other belongings. I highly recommend them if you need a deck!
Our deck is amazing! They were wonderful and patient guys to work with. Totally recommend!
I was nervous at first to redo my deck but it looks amazing thank you so so much!!
They completed a framing job for me on an addition to our home. Their pricing was very competitive and they offered great service. They were honest and got the job done that was needed. Very happy with their work and timelines. Would recommend
Amazing product and amazing service. They made sure my yard was 100% cleaned everyday best affordable product around.
These guys are awesome! Repaired my old water damaged deck, and gave it a fresh new look with trex and a new composite railing. Very happy with the end result, would absolutely hire them again.
Most patio cover projects take two to six weeks from footing excavation to the final walkthrough, depending on size, permitting and weather.
Generally, yes. A roofed patio cover is a structural accessory improvement, whether attached to the home or freestanding, and Bluffdale reviews it as one. An uncovered ground-level patio may not need a permit, but adding a roof usually changes that.
Cost depends heavily on size, whether it's a retractable awning or a solid roof, and features like lighting or motorized controls, so we price each project after seeing your yard. Visit our patio cover and awning page for what's included, or ask for a free, itemized quote.
A retractable awning gives you the option of open sky when you want it and shade when you don't, with less structure and typically less permitting than a solid cover. A solid patio cover is a permanent roofed structure with its own posts, beams, and footings, closer to a pergola with a solid roof. We'll walk you through which one actually fits your patio and your budget.
Often, yes, especially in Bluffdale's newer developments. HOA review can cover roof pitch, materials, colors, and visibility from neighboring lots before the city permit is submitted. We coordinate both approvals so you're not designing the same cover twice.
