Hello everyone,

Since the house building project turned into buying an apartment, I am now planning the layout of the roof terrace.
It is located on the 7th floor, 6 x 5 meters (20 x 16 feet) and completely open on the roof.

On the one hand, I want to add greenery to the terrace, but on the other hand, I want to have some flexible protection from wind and sun.
However, this should not mean constantly setting up and taking down things.

Of course, it is important that nothing can be blown away, as that would be life-threatening.

The terrace has a continuous railing about 50 cm (20 inches) high, to which items can possibly be fixed.

I look forward to all your ideas.
Attached are 2 pictures; the “furnishing” is just for visualization.

Dachterrasse mit Gartenlounge, Esstisch-Gruppe, Grill, Rundbecken und Gräserbegrenzung.

How many buildings are tall enough to overlook your terrace?
Do you have direct neighbors?

No one can directly see it from around.
The next taller building consists of offices and is at least 150 m (490 feet) away.
There is a neighboring terrace about 20 m (65 feet) away.
It is located towards the bottom of the plan.

Choose plants that make you feel comfortable. You don’t need anything for privacy screening from the outside.

Which plants are weather-resistant and won’t get blown away?
The portable sunshade is also something to consider.

Sunshade, awning
In the dining area, possibly extend the vertical posts of the balcony railing and attach privacy screens there, similar to a vertical garden concept. Climbing plants on wire cables
Large heavy flower pots
I would get advice on the plants. They must tolerate full sun, dryness, and be frost-resistant
