Hello,
We want to modify the terrace in our new build (currently 3 x 5 m (10 x 16.5 ft) concrete slabs).
We plan to expand it to approximately 6–7 m (20–23 ft) deep and 5–6 m (16–20 ft) wide, and install a terrace roof about 4 m (13 ft) deep by 5–6 m (16–20 ft) wide over it.
What material would you recommend for the terrace?
Currently, we are considering the following materials:
Stone slabs
Advantage: very durable
Disadvantage: difficult or nearly impossible to extend by yourself
WPC (wood-plastic composite)
Advantage: much easier to install and can be extended as desired without advanced handiwork skills
Disadvantage: less durable
Wood is ruled out because it requires annual sealing. The maintenance effort is too high.
What material would you recommend we choose? Or are there other options?

I would (and will) always choose wood. It’s also perfect for DIY projects.
