A measured plan belongs on floor plan. This page needs the balcony you already stand on.

Additional Information (Optional)

What the slab must keep

Keep the railing

The rail stays. Furniture stays on the house side

Keep the door swing

The leaf's arc stays empty of chairs

Keep the drain

The slot at the edge stays uncovered

Railing

Rail

Off the upper floor

Two chairs and pots inside the railing you have

A balcony is a shallow slab off an upper room, not a terrace on the ground. The railing stays. The door keeps its swing. Water still leaves along the drain. Depth decides the seats. This page adds seating and pots only.

Nothing past the railing. Nothing in the door's swing.

Seven pictures of one balcony

The rail, the door arc, the drain, the depth, the pots, the table that does not fit, and a second finish each need a picture. Drop a file into the matching slot and the block fills.

  • Rail

    The railing stays the edge

    Pots sit inside the rail. They do not replace it, hang past it, or turn it into a counter.

  • Rail

    The door leaf keeps its arc

    A chair in the swing means the door stops on the chair. The leaf moves first.

  • Rail

    The drain stays uncovered

    The slot or gap at the edge stays open. A pot that plugs it does not belong.

  • Rail

    Depth picks the seat

    If the slab is one chair deep, the result is a chair and pots, not a dining table.

  • Rail

    Pots against the wall

    Containers stay on the house side of the rail, off the water line.

  • Rail

    No table the slab cannot hold

    This page does not stretch the slab to fit four seats.

  • Rail

    A second finish of the same rail

    Try another chair finish or another pot without moving the railing or the door.

Railing

The railing is the edge, not a shelf

Pots can sit inside the railing. They do not replace it, hang outside it, or turn it into a counter. A balcony over a drop is not a ground-level terrace, and the proposal does not erase the rail to make the view cleaner.

Door swing

Leave the leaf its arc

The balcony door swings onto the slab or back into the room. A chair in that arc means the door stops on the chair. Mark which way the leaf moves before you place a seat.

Drainage and depth

Water leaves. The depth picks the seat

The drain or the gap at the edge stays open. A pot that plugs it does not belong. If the slab is one chair deep, the result is a chair and pots, not a dining table. Seating and pots are the whole brief.

What a balcony is allowed to gain

  • Railing

    The rail stays in place and in height. Furniture and pots remain on the house side of it.

  • Door leaf

    The swing, onto the balcony or into the room, stays clear of chairs.

  • Drain line

    The slot or gap where water leaves stays uncovered. Pots move before the drain does.

  • Depth

    The measurement from door to rail decides one chair, two chairs, or a narrow bench.

  • Seats only

    Chairs or a bench. No outdoor kitchen, no sofa that needs a living room, no platform built past the slab.

  • Pots, not beds

    Containers for plants. Not a planted bed, and not a row that blocks the rail or the drain.

Rail, leaf, then the pots

  1. 1. Photograph door to rail

    Stand so the door, the floor depth, and the railing are in one frame. Include the drain if you can see it.

  2. 2. Say how the door swings

    Onto the slab or into the room. Then name chairs or a bench, and where pots must not sit.

  3. 3. Check depth and drain

    If a chair sits in the swing, or a pot covers the drain, the slab was ignored.

The railing

Two chairs and pots inside the railing you have

A balcony is a shallow outdoor room in the air. The railing, the door swing, and the drainage line stay. Furniture and pots have to live inside that edge. This page will not extend the slab to fit a sofa the depth does not allow.

A terrace is the neighbor on the ground, one step from the door, with room for a table. If your photograph shows soil or a patio at grade, you are on the wrong page. Here the limit is the guard and the weight of what you put against it. Pots do not hang over the outside face.

Photograph the depth. A view of the skyline without the floor tells you nothing about a chair. One comfortable seat and a plant often beat a set that only works in the rendering.

Read the page from four sides

  • The guard

    The railing height and the gaps stay. Furnishings do not become the guard.

  • The swing

    The door has to open onto a clear foot, not onto a table.

  • The drain

    Water leaves the way it already leaves. A rug that dams the slot is a leak upstairs.

  • The depth

    If two chairs do not fit facing each other, do not draw them anyway.

Where this page stops

The links below are the neighboring jobs. Each one keeps a promise this page does not make.

  • Terrace is the outdoor room on the ground, one step from the door. It has the depth a balcony does not.

  • Patio is paving and shade at grade. It is not a rail in the air.

  • Mediterranean is the sun, the shade, and the pot, if the balcony is deep enough to hold that mood.

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.

Bring the photo from door to rail

Show the depth and the way the door opens. Chairs and pots come after the railing and the drain are clear.
