In Western Wisconsin and Minnesota, it is important the deck a homeowner selects can withstand Mother Nature. This makes Millboard® decking material a desirable choice because it will not warp and is resistant to mold and mildew because its core is comprised of crushed limestone powder and fiberglass. The steel railing, framing and spiral staircase added a modern touch to this project.

Ce projet de cour-jardin est venu refondre totalement des anciens extérieurs usés par le temps. Le nouvel aménagement vient apporter une ergonomie et une optimisation des espaces avec entre autre la construction d'une terrasse sur pilotis et un nouveau pavage plus élégant. La terrasse vient apporter un prolongement spatial de l'intérieur bienvenue dans cette cour à l'espace réduit en doublant les capacités d'accueil. En ce qui concerne le reste des espaces, de nouveaux massifs ont été créés pour offrir un maximum de nature, des plantes grimpantes, des fleurs et même un espace potager pour des cultures saisonnières. > Un abris poubelles sur-mesure a été réalisé. > Les serrureries de rue ont été reprises totalement. > L'éclairage & l'arrosage automatique ont été installés. Les matériaux employés : > L'acier thermolaqué pour les nouveaux massifs > Le pavage en grés rose > Le douglas thermochauffé en terrasse bois et pour l'abris poubelle > Le pin traité autoclave pour la structure de la pergola > Substrats pour enrichir les terres et paillage de surface en copeaux de bois.

Quando ho inziato a progettare il terrazzo ho cercato di farmi ispirare sia dall’atmosfera che volevo creare che dall’effetto d’insieme di tutti i fiori bianchi. L’idea era quella di ricreare, anche se in vaso, una specie di siepe mista, con piante più grandi e più piccole intrecciate tra loro, alcune caducifoglie, altre semprevrdi, alcu- ne commestibili, altre solo ornametali. L’effetto finale dovrebbe richiamare un’idea di naturalità ma anche di cura e attenzione al dettaglio. La part di piante posizionate nel retro della piscina sono tendezialmente di dimensioni più grandi, così da schermare il terrazzo alla vista dei vicini. Man mano che si passa da un’estremità all’altra, invece, le piante rimpiccioliscono di dimensioni, così da permettere di godersi il panormana sulle montagne. Ho utilizzato le fioriere in modo tale da dividere lo spazio in tre aree diverse, senza però che questo diventasse troppo invadente o togliesse spazio utile vivibile. Ho scelto delle fioriere in alluminio, grigio antracite, per cercare di armo- nizzarle il più possibile al resto della casa e al pavimento. Suggerisco le fioriere in alluminio perchè il materiale è molto resistente ed inoltre molto leggero , risultando quindi facili da spostare. Tutte le specie selwzionate hanno momenti di interesse diversi, alcune hanno una fioritura precoce, altre un fogliame particolare o ancora un pro- fumo molto intenso. Alcune piante, come ad esempio possono essere le camelie, ma non solo, possono essere utilizzate anche come piante per fiori da taglio. Ho prestato attenzione anche alla parte utile per l’orto, cercando di armonizzarla il piùà possibil e con il resto della bordura, utilizzando so- prattutto le salvie ornamentali per farmi da tramite tra una zona e l’altra.

First Floor Terrace with a Pergola Ideas and Designs

There’s nothing quite like an outdoor space with a view and if you’re elevated up high then there’s more chance of getting that view. Even if you’re not blessed with a natural view from your home, an elevated space outdoors will at least give you the chance to survey the land in front of you; whether that’s a few square metres or whole acres! A terrace is one way of achieving this as it gives you the flat surface of a patio but elevated; either on a flat roof, as decking in your garden, or extending out from your house at ground level or higher. Whether a terrace is your only outside space and you want it to function as a garden or you’ll be using it as a dining or seating area, there are all sorts of design ideas, furniture, plants and accessory options to think about.

How do I decorate or design a roof garden?

UK homeowners are resourceful when it comes to outside space and will make the most of anything they can get their hands on, so it’s no wonder that in urban areas and cities we look to the roof for a place to get some rays. A roof terrace can work in just the same way as a decking area, but you just may need a few extra elements to make it more comfortable – a way of shading an area from the sun, perhaps a parasol or sun shade, a touch of green to break up the stark nature of a roof, and a drainage system that will stop rain water collecting in colder months. If you want to create a whole garden on your roof you’ll be a little more restricted than when on ground level. Plants may have to remain potted, but you can find companies that design and install green roofs – systems that allow plants to be planted into the roof surface. However, green roofs can be costly and tricky to install, so stick to pots and raised flower beds if you want to stay on the safe side. Loungers, deck chairs and rattan chairs are great pieces of roof garden furniture as they’re portable and can be moved around your rooftop garden easily; perfect for sun chasers. However, if you want to create a larger sense of space for your roof terrace design, think about built-in benches or seating around the sides or a corner of your roof garden.

What to consider when designing garden decking

A decked garden area may look simple once finished, but there are so many factors to consider when it comes to putting together decking ideas. You’ll need to think about the materials you want to use, the balustrades or railings you might choose, whether you will have a raised deck and decking steps, and whether you want decking lights.

Which decking material is best?

Composite decking is a popular choice for outdoor deck material because it offers a combination of practicality and style. The boards are made of wood and plastic fibres so that the classic wooden look is kept but the plastic fibres mean they will be much more durable and easier to maintain than traditional hardwood. If you can’t resist the natural look and feel of hardwood decking boards, then yellow balau, iroko and ipe decking are suitable outdoor boards that will give you the classic feel of a traditional wooden deck. Remember, with hardwood decking you will regularly need to treat the wood to keep it clean, waterproofed and to maintain the colour. As wood is usually more of an investment than composite or plastic decking, it’s a good idea to speak to decking specialists or timber merchants because they will be able to advise you on the best wood for your design and how best to treat it. You may find that different decking materials are better to suited to different types of terraces; whether that’s on a roof, in the garden or on a balcony. Whether you are designing a terrace, balcony or decked garden area from scratch, or just looking to decorate what you already have, take a look through the photos on Houzz to find terrace and balcony ideas and inspiration.
