SebastianLiesa23 Oct 2024 19:02Thank you for your contributions. As a precaution and because the manufacturers also recommend it, I would still create a slope. So my question is more about how to represent the slope and the heights. Side A is 3 m (10 ft) long with a difference of 6 cm (2.4 inches), side D is 1.5 m (5 ft) long with a difference of 3 cm (1.2 inches). That means the 3 cm (1.2 inches) difference on side C would need to be compensated for. But wouldn’t that look odd, especially considering the steps that come before, if side C is uneven?

We have a similar terrace with WPC, a closed deck, used as a barefoot walkway.
I wouldn’t manage slope C; you need that corner for walking around the table when many people are present.
Between the terrace doors, there is a height difference of about 2cm (1 inch), which means a threshold is necessary.
