ᐅ How large is a 100 square meter garden area?

Hello everyone!

We are about to start building our semi-detached house, and I measured the site plan to see how much garden space we have.
I found that we have roughly 10x10m (33x33 ft) of lawn behind the house plus about 15sqm (160 sq ft) beside the house up to the garage. I honestly can’t quite imagine how big 100sqm (1,076 sq ft) of garden actually is.

Does anyone have a similar area behind their house and can share whether it’s still possible to fit a playset for children? Or maybe even have a photo of a garden this size?

(Visually, it won’t be a problem since there is a field behind the garden with a beautiful view of Sauerland, where building is definitely not allowed for the next few decades. Also, we have about 80sqm (860 sq ft) of front yard, where I’ll probably grow some edible plants.)

I would really appreciate some input to help me imagine it better.
Best regards, FamPre

Take an area with familiar dimensions with you, for example, the carpet used for playing or a picnic blanket.

Have a look. Remove the L-shaped edge and you end up with roughly 100 m² (1,076 sq ft).

Hi.
Will there be a membrane around the blue panels?

Don’t ask me that! I sure hope so. I can let you know in the coming weeks.

There is none with our insulation boards. Several people have told me that it is no longer done nowadays. I’m just curious.

If I remember, I’ll tell you how it was done for us. But due to the approaching frost, we will probably be stuck sitting around again for the next few weeks.

There are no additional costs on our end, and our inspector had no complaints.
