Most owners of country houses or summer cottages prefer to hire workers to furnish their home space. But, if you have free time and construction skills, you can build a terrace for entertaining yourself or with the help of friends.
Believe me, such a building will cost you much less than ordering a design project and then hiring builders.
Basic materials needed for construction
- Boards. Look in the barn; there’s probably a lot of construction “junk” left after the house was built.
- Tile. You can take any, even the most inconspicuous, of any size. As a result, a combination of small and medium-sized tiles will look great.
- Paint, stain, enamel, brushes, rollers and available materials.
- Cement mortar. You can buy dry in bags.
- Flowerpots. There is a lot of choice here. Plastic, ceramic, plaster are suitable. You can make or buy lightweight containers imitation natural stone.
- Several types of plants, preferably short ones, so that they look harmonious in the flower beds.
You'll quickly figure out what materials you'll need, since plans will likely change as you work.
Fencing
It's easy to make them. It is enough to put together several painted boards, for example, the way they look in the picture. Don't forget to reinforce the corners.
You will get stylish fences with passages between them, and the hollow part will be filled with plastic containers with flowers. While the terrace space is in the process of arrangement. But very soon there will be a cozy place with a huge table, sofas, hanging lanterns and lighting around the entire perimeter.
Flowers
This issue can be addressed by your significant other. You don't have to buy flowers in pots or spend months growing seeds. Make friends with your neighbors and ask them for some bushes. Perhaps in return you can offer them something they don't have. Flowers grow quickly, especially in a fertile country setting where the soil is fertile.
Tiled floor on the terrace
In this case, you may have to enlist the help of professionals if you have not dealt with tiles. Laying floors evenly on a poured foundation is not easy. However, the eyes are afraid, but the hands do.
Let's sum it up
You don't have to copy what we offer you. Perhaps there is a simpler design. But this particular idea for a terrace combines several styles. As a result, the space turned out to be not pretentious, but not too simple either. The main thing is to properly equip it after the main stage of construction with furniture that matches the style. Good luck, keep at it, you will succeed.
