Houston Wind Load Requirements for Outdoor Structures
Houston wind load requirements for outdoor structures. Pergolas, patio covers, and elevated decks must meet local wind speed design standards—typically 110-130 mph in the Houston area. Design wind speed and requirements depend on the jurisdiction and structure; Right Angle coordinates stamped engineering where it is required.

Requirements depend on jurisdiction, address, scope, attachment, roof, utilities and any historic, floodplain, HOA or deed-restriction review. A City of Houston permit is separate from HOA, deed and historic approvals. Confirm with the reviewing office before work.
