We are planning to renovate the second floor of our townhouse and install new flooring. Chipboards, boards, and possibly insulation need to be removed somehow, but not through the house (we've cleaned enough during previous renovations).
We can use the balcony to take out the discarded construction materials and throw them down onto the patio, which is a pile-driven area about 40 m2 and built in larch.
But how can we protect the patio to prevent damage? Both to the surface of the patio and considering the patio construction (pile-driven). The chipboards are quite heavy, boards with nails, etc.
Do you have any tips on what's best?
Could this work? Laying out polystyrene boards? Boards laid across the patio boards? I think buying foam mattresses would be expensive.
Do you have any other solutions and tips?

I'm considering that too, if you place 2 aluminum ladders next to each other and lay masonite on top. The question is how to keep the masonite curved so that the building materials don't fall off, do you have any good tips?
Take some sturdy studs and nail on scrap Masonite as a slide ramp and edges to ensure the debris lands outside the deck.
I wouldn't risk throwing construction waste onto the deck; it's better if it gets a little dirty inside than the deck gets damaged. And does it really get that dirty? If you pack small trash in bags upstairs and carry out larger waste, the downstairs should remain clean. If not—treat yourself to a cleaning service as a reward for a well-executed renovation.

Yes, of course, but I have cleaned for 400 hours after carpenters who didn't do their job well, so now I thought I'd do what I can to avoid cleaning everything again. The kitchen cabinets are many.
