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.

The planter boxes shown are located outside the terrace on the roof I have seen it like that before, but you still have to water them.Regarding sun protection, you definitely need something that can withstand wind at the 7th floor and in Hamburg. A regular patio umbrella will likely fail quickly. You will probably need to consider commercial-grade options since you’ll want to shade a larger area. Alternatively, a retractable awning with a wind sensor could work, but I’m not sure how much wind those can handle. Also, the condominium declaration/planning permission or similar regulations must allow it.

A matter of preference.
