Agree with vojma that option 2 is better. When I did our balcony myself, I first pulled up the paper against the frame, then the sheet metal worker came and put the metal sheet, and it was probably about 200 mm upturn on it. After that, I nailed the air gap and the panel over this. Tight and good, and done according to the recommendation of the sheet metal worker. If you want to see a principle sketch, you can check here: http://www.traguiden.se/TGtemplates/popup2spalt.aspx?id=5321 Now this applies to a dormer, but it works on a balcony as well. Instead of the roofing board, you lay the tongue and groove boards and then the paper. Good luck.
Thanks for the answers!
Vojma, do you mean cardboard and not sheet metal?
Ola: how did you make an opening for the air gap under the balcony roof?
I am planning to cover the roof with cardboard, to later build decking on top.

Assumed that the black on your drawing was a sheet, maybe wrong of me.
Ola78's approach sounds correct. Just make sure you don't puncture the paper with the sheet if the corner of the sheet is too sharp. Make sure the sheet's angle has a smooth rounding or that it is mounted a little bit up from the paper.

No, the black would symbolize the pappen.
I agree that Ola's method sounds correct, but I've done it a bit differently. I have to place the pappen on the outside of the air gap instead of inside like Ola, because otherwise the air gap from the roof can't rise up into the wall.
Do you follow what I mean?

Hi chrille! I took the air in at the eaves on the balcony and then let it out at the back on the sides. Check the picture and it might be easier to understand. I work at a house factory, so I knew how we did it on our houses and that was the solution. If you have any questions, feel free to ask more.
A bit scatterbrained sometimes. Here it is.
Thank you Ola!! That will be perfect, now I know exactly what to do.
No problem, happy to help if I can. Next time it might be me who needs help with something. Good luck
Hello,
I am having the same thoughts as you in the thread, my concern has been resolved like yours regarding the roofing and ventilation, but above looks good. My other problem, however, has been how to build a safe railing/fence around the balcony since one should avoid penetrations in the roof, how have you done/thought about that?
Best regards,
