TYPES OF PATIO

Patio types can be determined by the materialsused to construct a patio, as well as how thepatio lies in relation to the normal ground level.

Brick, cut stone, natural stone and patio paversprovide the easiest to install patio surfaces,

requiring only that you excavate, level and setthe pieces into place, with either sand or mortarto fill the joints. Concrete patios, however, requirebuilding a frame, pouring and smoothing the wetconcrete.

Patios are typically made of durable surfacessuch as bricks, tile, or natural paving stones,concrete, slate

TYPES OF PATIO

Stone or Brick While giving the home a natural look, stone or

brick patios can be more difficult to install thanother home additions because the stonematerials used to make the patios come indifferent lengths and widths.

A lot of home builders, as well ashomeowners, choose this popular type ofpatio surface because they are cheap and

very easy to install. Their consistent kind of thickness is what

makes them easy to install, but they aretypically more expensive than normal stones

Normally, installers start with 4-inch

thick gravel, with 2- to 3-inch thicksand on top. The sand makes fitting

the stones in place easier.

TYPES OF PATIO

Concrete Patio Readily available.

Relatively cheap and easy to lay.

Hardwearing.

Concrete with a textured finished gives a non-slip surface.

DIS: Can look rather unattractive andforbidding.

Discolours over time and needs frequentcleaning.

TYPES OF PATIO

Regardless of whether you build your patioat ground-level, raised, from concrete, brick

or stone, you must put a slope in your patio

to prevent damage.

This is especially important in patios placed

against homes, which require a downward

slope of one-fourth inch per one-foot of the

patio's width or length, away from thehome.

LIVING ROOM PATIOS

The big trend in outdoor living roomfurniture is using "deep seating" patiofurniture.

Apply love seats, lounge chairs andcoffee table styling.

A good rule of thumb is to size livingroom areas at approximately 16ft by 18ft.

Where possible, leave a 3 foot pathwayclear of furniture to allow for good trafficflow thru the garden.

This allows enough space to pull outchairs, but not much walk around space.

Size your patio based on your

entertaining needs and the number ofpeople you plan to host regularly.

A 48" round table can seat 6-8 people

depending on the size of the chairs. The

minimum patio size to accommodate a

48" round table is 10 feet 6 inches.

PATIO DIMENSIONS

Patio sizes vary depending on theamount of space you have in your

home.

Before you buy a set, you must decidewhat kind of patio you want to set up

and how much space is available.


45/192

PATIO DIMENSIONS

If space allows for only a two-seat bistro table, thesize of your patio should be 6 to 7 ft in diameter(this is the minimum).

If you want to put in a dining table with chairs, theminimum space required is 12 to 14 feet. This size

will be sufficient for a 48 round table. It also givespeople space to walk around comfortably. But ifthe table is bigger, you will need more space.

A living room patio will include a couch, a coffeetable, several chairs plus other accessories. This

will necessitate a minimum diameter space of 16to 18 feet. It is also a good idea to have at least a3 foot pathway furniture free. This will permit forexcellent traffic flow.


46/192

PATIO DIMENSIONSHere are three easy steps to help you discover the right patio dimensions:

Step 1:Decide how you will use the patio.

Will you be dining & cooking on the patio?

Will you be relaxing around a fireplace or fire pit?

Will you be reading a good book and enjoying the sunshine?

Step 2:Think about how many people you would like the patio to accommodate.

Will just a few people be using the patio?

Will you be hosting parties with many people?

Step 3:Measure your yard to get an idea of how much space you have to work with.

Think about how big your patio can be as well as the best placement in your yard.

Patio Sizing Tips:

Buy your patio furniture first and arrange it where your patio will be. Use the space

for a week or two, taking note of where people walk and the best spacing for thefurniture. The size of your patio should be large enough to accommodate thefurniture.

Don't forget walk around space. Add an extra 2-3 feet of paving around your patiofurniture.

BALCONYNAMES

Manufacturers names for their balconydesigns often refer to the origin of the

design

e.g. Italian balcony, Spanish balcony,Mexican balcony, Ecuadorian balcony,

etc. They also refer to the shape and

form of the pickets used for thebalcony railings, e.g. knuckle balcony,

goose balcony, pot belly balcony, etc.


57/192

BALCONY HISTORY

Earliest balconies are thought to date backmore than two thousand years to AncientGreece when they most likely addressedpurely functional needs, such as to increaseair circulation in hot climates or enhance

natural light to a building's interior.

A balcony is an integral part of a building'sfaade so its design is crucial to the

property's architecture. Over the years,balcony styles have evolved to reflectchanges in structural design, constructionand building materials.

TYPES OF BALCONY

FAUX BALCONIES

FALSE BALCONIES

TRUE BALCONIES


59/192

1. FAUX BALCONIES

Faux balconies are not balconies inthe real sense.

They are designed for aesthetic

purposes and all that is done is toplace railings outside the windows so

that it adds beauty to the over-all

structure of the house.

63/192

2. FALSE BALCONIES

A false balcony, on the other hand, isthe small protrusion (projection,

extension) outside the French

windows of a house. The area of this place is around 4 to 6

inchesand it also has railings like a

normal balcony but the lack of spaceprevents it from being used like one.

3. TRUE BALCONIES

A true balcony extends from a Frenchwindow and the space of the deck isup to 36" and this is fixed to theexterior wall with the help of support

braces.

There is a periphery(margin) which

runs around the balcony and this kindof balcony allows the freedom to walkon it.

TYPES OF BALCONY

There are numerous types ofbalconies and designs, each of which

suit different buildings, large windows

and housing dcor. Options range from a taste of Europe

with a French balcony to a modern

look with a plexiglass panel balcony.


72/192

French Balcony

A French balcony is a small balcony thatattaches to large windows in apartmentbuildings or houses with a second floor.

These balconies provide homeowners with theoption of showcasing flowers and plants, butdo not offer the ability to sit outside, as thebalcony is merely an extension of the windowpanel.

French balconies are also common in Europe's

small and narrow streets, where larger Maltesebalconies are not an option.

Decorative Open Balcony

A decorative open balcony offers the sameoutside space as the Maltese balcony, with

one exception -- the panel is made with

metal or steel that has been melted and

shaped into a decorative design.

This type of balcony is not covered.

A benefit of having this type of balcony

panel is that it adds personality and style toyour balcony, but it also hides most of the

items you have stored on your balcony.

A plexiglass balcony is similar to a decorative

balcony except that it has a plexi-glass panel,

meaning that it exposes the entire balcony to

Juliet Balcony

they are usually part of an upper floor, narrow indepth and with a balustrade only at the front.

it is named after Shakespeares Juliet, though infact the play itself, as written, makes no mentionof a balcony, but only of a window at which Juliet

appears. Juliet balconies surround French or double doors

and allow them to be opened inwards forincreased light and ventilation, while preventingthe occupants from falling out.

Effectively acting as a restraint, they are notregarded as true balconies because they haveno platform to stand on.

Inside churches, balconies are sometimes provided forthe singers, and in banqueting halls and the like for themusicians.

In theatres, the balconywas formerly a stage-box, but

the name is now usually confined to the part of theauditorium above the dress circle and below the gallery.

BENEFITS OF HAVING A


93/192

BALCONY

A balcony increases the amount of spaceoffered by a room or an apartment, and canmake a room seem larger than it is.

Balconies also add architectural interest to abuilding and offer additional design options

that include color, balustrade and platformshape and decorative gardens and plants.

A balcony overlooking a city, forest, mountainor waterfront adds a view to a room.

In addition, at least one study done in HongKong has shown that balconies increase thevalue of a building or home on the marketwithout adding security concerns.

BALCONY RAILINGS


94/192

BALCONY RAILINGS

The main purpose of balcony railings is the feature ofsafety.

As far as the balcony railings are concerned, metal isthe ideal material for constructing them. Apart fromstrength, metal railings are available in stunninglybeautiful designs that impart a gracious and elegant

look to the exterior of the house. Wooden balcony railings are one of the most popular

types due to their sturdiness, low cost, and designflexibility. Railings made of wood are usually able tosupport the weight of various individuals leaning overthe structure, for example.

Both safety and harmonization with the overall buildingdesign are considered when choosing a buildingmaterial for outdoor balcony railings.

BALCONY RAILINGS

Iron balcony railings provide many of the samebenefits as their wooden counterparts. Likewooden railings, devices made of iron alsohave drawbacks like degraded physicalappearance over time. Iron also tends to be a

more expensive base substance.

Another popular material used in balconyrailings is aluminum. While this type requires

less maintenance, it is usually more expensive.On occasion, designers use both aluminumand wood for a greater artistic effect.

96/192

BALCONY DIMENSIONS An average dimension of a balcony is in the four feet range. That amount of space will already

allow you to some seating space and an area to install a minute garden. If you can have itbigger, thats better because you will have more design options.

As with any home designing project, size is a major concern when building a balcony. Todecide on the amount of space that you will have to dedicate to your balcony, you have toconsider a few things.

-First, examine how much space is available for this purpose. Your balcony can go right besideyour room or outside the family room, located at the second or higher floor. If there is aclearing, you can build a balcony in it. The dimension of a balcony shall be based on the lengthof your room or just about the available space in that area.

-Second, you will need to ensure that the size of your balcony will be able to accommodate agarden set and some amazing plants. For a small balcony, a two-piece garden set completewith a table is okay. If you have a bigger space, you may bring in a few extra seating options.Of course, do not forget to put in some greenery to complete the look and the ambience.

-Third, make sure that the size of your balcony will be able to accommodate you and a guestor two. It is not a good idea to have a balcony that is cluttered and overcrowded. It must beone neat space that will encourage some quiet time as well as meaningful bonding moments.

As a last note, make sure that you pay attention to the access door that you will use in relationto the size of your balcony. If you have a smaller space for a balcony, you must use a sliding

door because a swinging door will need an allowance. If you have a large space for yourbalcony, you can either install a standard swinging door or a slider and have no problems withit.

BALCONY DIMENSIONS


97/192

BALCONY DIMENSIONS

Balconies come in many different sizes

Many are only a few feet wider than the window or doorwhich provides access to the balcony from the inside ofthe house and only deep enough for a chair or a pottedplant.

Other balconies may extend the entire length of abuilding and even wrap around corners of the structure.These larger balconies often can be accessed throughdoors or windows in several different rooms.

The size of a balcony is generally only restricted by thestrength of the supports on which it is built.

balcony railings to be 36 inches high for

homes.

For business or fencing use, the railings

should be 42 or 48 inches.

Balconies hold a special place in homedesign. The very presence of a balcony addsa touch of style to a home..

Weight is one of the most important

considerations when choosing furniture,plants and accessories for balconies.

Most balconies are only meant to support alimited amount of weight, so furnishings andaccessories should be lightweight.

Safety is always an important consideration.Be sure to check your balcony supportsregularly for corrosion or wear.

BACKYARD TERRACES Terraces provide a way for you to get full use out off a backyard

that is located on a slope, while affording you a place to enjoy thetranquility of the outdoors.

A backyard terrace should be used as an extension of your home.

By varying the elevations of a sloped backyard, you are creatinga way for water to drain properly, as well as building flat, usablesurfaces in an otherwise unusable landscape.

Commonly, backyard terraces are formed by concrete pavers,bricks or flagstone. Others are built from wood planks, similar to a

deck.

If your backyard is sloped, building a backyard terrace isbeneficial in that it gives you usable space but also prevents soilerosion.

PORCH DIMENSIONS


170/192

The size of your porch will depend on thehomeowners zoning rules. It will also depend onhow much space is available.

Many homes have a 12 x 12 (3.6576m x

3.6576m) front porch. A back porch measuring14 x 20 (4.2672m x 6.096m) will be sufficient inmost cases.

The choice of the porchs location is somethingeach individual has to decide. Another factor thatwill affect the porch design is the size ofthe house. A small porch in a big house will lookawkward. By the same token, a large porch in asmall house will be out of place.

PORCH DIMENSIONS


171/192

The height of the house can affect theporch dimensions as well. A porch in atwo-story house will look better if the roofis pitched and covers most of thesidewall.

Things to consider:

Selecting Porch Roofs and Columns

The rule with porch roofs is they should matchthe style of your house roof. This will give it aunified look. In most cases, medium to largeround columns are recommended. Constructingcolumns in pairs will give the porch dimensionsmore depth and mass.

The columns should be spaced just a few inchesapart. If you want the columns to look large, setthem on square pedestals. You can havethe porch framed with curved balusters orspindles rows.

Things to consider:

Walls, Ceilings and Decking

For some privacy, frame the porch with a low wall.Construct the upper ledge as high as the windowsills onthe first floor. This gives you some privacy withoutdisrupting the harmonious appearance of the house.

The decking must be rot and pest resistant. A goodchoice is mahogany with satin urethane. For a moreattractive appearance, set the decking with a pictureframe pattern. The outer edge should be parallel with thesteps.

Traditionally, the ceilings are set in blue to simulate thesky. Nowadays you can paint them in any color you like.You can also put on urethane.

CHOOSING:

Front or Back Porch? The back porch is ideal for those who want
