Hi Forum,
we are currently busy planning our terrace and are still a bit undecided.
It will have an area of 20m² (215 sq ft) and definitely needs to be covered.
We are now considering what would be best... a frame made of aluminum, powder-coated steel, or wood?
Glass roof or plastic?
The floor will probably be a WPC decking.
Why did you choose your material?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
How did you ultimately design your terrace?
Maybe you have some pictures to get inspired.
Best regards, David

Then I will use granite stones because they last longer.
I want to raise it so that the edge is as high as the terrace.
Let’s see how I will solve this.

Continuing with the second terrace facing south.
Excavated and filled with gravel.

Small excavator working next to terrace on green lawn; gravel and earth pits, mountains in the background.

@Meister keks: How much does your glass and steel structure cost?

Thanks, Curly.

An acquaintance owns a company and is running it on the side.
I’ll send you the rest in a message.

So, continuing with the terrace facing south.
Fine gravel has been spread and leveled with a slight slope. Weed control fabric is laid on top, and the first stones are in place.
Unfortunately, I forgot that the other terrace has a steeper slope, so tomorrow I’ll need to remove everything again and adjust the slope with gravel to match the other terrace.
By the way, I’ve already used just over 500 kg (1,100 lbs) of gravel—I didn’t expect to need that much.
