Incredibly difficult to imagine how it will look. Perhaps better to let the posts come up through the decking but be attached to the decking's floor joists.
Would probably look strange if the posts lie on top of the entire structure, right?
I'm thinking of horizontal 45x45 pressure-treated as a fence but would you let these go down and also form a "skirt" or would you build a "skirt" out of decking in some other way...
If it's a party venue, you might want to check the suitability of having horizontal fencing; it shouldn't be "climbable." I amused myself by sitting inside in the winter cold and sketching an alternative to a completely square deck. I advocate for råspont and roofing felt, drainage under the decking, and side windows for light entry.
Under the recess at the stairs, it's intended to place garden machines, store firewood, or keep things. The stairs would at the same time be an excellent escape route.
A new consideration is whether it is possible to somehow build a very simple plastic roof (or a red metal roof if that melts more with me) over the wooden deck or if this will look ridiculous no matter what, I probably envision this image as a basis.
I'm imagining it becoming like a little corner to the right where the gable and the adjoining roof meet.
1. Plastic roof over the right part of the deck where the door is with drainage to the right onto the adjacent roof.
2. Alternatively, a plastic roof that covers all the windows + door and is about 3 meters deep with drainage from the gable wall outward.
3. A more lightweight option is some form of sailcloth or similar.
Why do you advocate for tongue and groove boards and roofing felt? Shouldn't they be a worse option for such a low roof pitch?
I've considered horizontal slats but know that it cannot be "climbable."
I read somewhere that if there was a 10mm gap between the slats, it was not considered climbable.
Does a slatted fence with 45mm look ridiculous with only 10mm in between?
Other suggestions, perhaps vertical decking boards 22x95?
Glass and metal options are out due to cost reasons.
Now I'm probably going to get in trouble from metal enthusiasts, but tongue and groove boards are more stable, fairly easy to nail or screw, and roofing felt allows for a lower roof pitch, which means you can do the work yourself with maybe just a helping hand on a few occasions. It is very easy to raise and lay decking on a stable roof of tongue and groove boards with roofing felt; today's felt comes in durable varieties, and many houses with flat roofs have nothing but roofing felt, possibly metal on tongue and groove, but then we're talking higher costs. Fences in various forms are probably a matter of taste in most cases, as long as the function is maintained, that is, preventing people from falling and injuring themselves, so let your imagination run wild. Over the years, I have seen several cases of cost savings that eventually caused much regret because savings can have the opposite effect in terms of reduced quality, lower value, and dissatisfaction. Otherwise, a roof over a window and door can be very practical.
I'm not very good at SketchUp, so I'm unable to draw the plastic roof. But you recommend a roof that covers the window and door—don't you think it will look silly?
I mean it should be over the windows and the door, preferably three gable roofs or a longer one that extends from the house about a meter.
But, plastic......
If you want a roof up there, I think the best option would be to extend the house. It's fine to put a plastic roof up there. Whether you want it all the way or just halfway is optional. It would definitely look better than the large box that has been sketched so far.
Okay, simplest to tear down the panel from the bottom up to the edge of the deck and then install metal and tar paper, and then new paneling over this where the tongue and groove fit into the old horizontal paneling?
The gable is completely open with fields around where it gets very windy. "Feels better" to anchor the studs through the tar paper, but is this a disaster in terms of sealing?...
