Balcony with rain protection

[tantal]

We are considering replacing the current balcony with wooden decking with a new construction (but the same dimensions). However, we would like a solution so that the space underneath is protected from rain. The current solution is a half-measure, where the items stored under the balcony are kind of semi-protected. The roof overhang can be seen in the drawing. Some tips on how this can be practically resolved would be appreciated.

Some pictures of the balcony and house, I think, can spark the imagination 😉

Sure! As you can see, we store quite a bit of stuff under the balcony, even though it's not properly sheltered from the rain.

If you want to weatherproof the items under the balcony AND maintain light entry, you might need to enclose all or part of the space with glass.

Depending on where the rain usually comes from, it might be enough to put up a wall/glass panel. Building a little extra overhang on the next balcony could also help, but I think it’s difficult to make it aesthetically pleasing.

I would rather build a separate shed and throw the stuff in there.

Thanks for the tip! Yes, that's a possibility, but won't material accumulate on the sheet and start growing algae and moss? How do you keep it clean?
