Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Feb 28, 2018 6:50 pm I am in a dilemma regarding location of garage. If I put the garage in ground floor, then a upper level with rooms and on top of it is a covered deck. Would the covered deck be considered as a storey?! The deck is not enclosed on 3 side, and the fourth side is located above the single storey section of the house. (split level) Thanks! Re: Is a covered rooftop deck a storey?! 2Feb 28, 2018 8:04 pm Snowing, It would be useful to obtain the definition of a "storey" in your state, and this may be helpful https://www.planning.vic.gov.au/plannin ... evelopment. Generally, it's not about the walls but the overall height of the building, and whether or not the structure gives the "appearance" of another storey. I suspect that with the roof you are proposing, the deck would be considered a storey, but it always pays to check your local regulations.

So probably a pergola / vergola style covering would be a better choice then. As long as sunshine can get thru, you can't really say it is a roof. 1 4592 Hello All 🙂 We are planning to start our journey of construction our first home.
