We are currently planning our terrace. It will have a total area of 45m² (480 sq ft) and will extend across the entire width of the house and wrap around the corner.
Now we are wondering how to handle the drainage. Did you build a separate infiltration system or connect the terrace drainage to an existing system? Or do you let the water run off onto the surrounding lawn? It could be quite a lot of water when it rains heavily.

Has anyone here ever built a terrace substructure using aluminum? It sounds appealing since, presumably, after about 15 years, you would only need to replace the decking boards on top.
We’re wondering:
- What load capacities do the profiles have, and what span lengths can they cover?
- Also, are we likely to see the metal shining through the 2mm (0.08 inch) gaps between the boards?
- Could it start squeaking after a couple of years?
- Would this be affordable?
Any tips?
