Thread: Extending our Existing Terrace and Balcony

Still the old porch and the old balcony can be seen through the new building.


I can always use it to grow some climbing plants on ...


View from the old top balcony.

The finished extension was built within centimetre tolerances and all with old pieces of wood .... Amazing !

Just a short interlude before I upload some more photo's.
I am very new to "Blogs" and only joined TeakDoor a few days ago. It is all very new, how to, and if I am doing it correctly? I also hope that if someone calls along this page (thread?) and takes a look at what we have been doing that they would also just say hello?
From what I have seen on TeakDoor I can learn a lot and I am sure this forum will be very helpful.

Breaking down the original balcony railing


All the electrics were placed in conduit ready for the ceiling fan, sound system and lighting.


The original front porch railing bites the dust ...


Insulated double garden sockets were installed in both front pillars.

Rendering the outside ready for painting


Building up the new step to the shaded terrace area.


Tiles are laid on the new Sun terrace


Now looking a lot larger our new shaded terrace is nearly ready
