Balcony questions
Railing, door swing, the line where water leaves, and how deep the slab actually is.
Can the railing be replaced with glass or a planter?+
The railing stays. A finish on the house side of it can be discussed. Removing it, or building a planter outside it, is not this page.
The door swings onto the balcony and hits the chair.+
Move the chair. The leaf and the arc stay. A seat that only works with the door latched is not a seat.
Where do the pots go so the balcony still drains?+
Off the slot or gap at the edge. If you cannot see the drain, say so and keep pots against the house wall, not along the rail.
Can we add a dining table for four?+
Only if the depth from door to rail, minus the door swing, actually holds it. Most balconies hold chairs or a bench. This page does not stretch the slab.
Is a balcony the same as a terrace?+
No. A balcony is the shallow railed slab off an upper floor. A terrace is on grade or a platform, and it is planned on the terrace page.
Can we add a grill or a shade sail?+
No. Seating and pots only. Shade structures and cooking belong with a terrace, a patio, or a deck that has the floor for them.
Can the chairs be drawn from this photo?+
Yes. Upload the balcony, name the depth, and generate. If the rail disappears or a chair sits in the door swing, reject the picture.
