Patio Pergola Designs

Patio Pergola Designs : 2011 What if your frame work needs a few steps? For circumstances where anywhere from two to about seven actions would be needed to get to the reduced level, either backyards or patios may be chosen. It is important to keep in mind is that whatever you select will be off the earth. In the case of a outdoor patio, that area within the outdoor patio ground can be remaining start or protected with lattice. However, with backyards, side surfaces must be designed. 
This will add on to the cost. In addition, for higher walls, protection against falling off the patio must be considered. This can be achieved by either the installation of railings or having deep planters built in the patio.

If the structure is to be built very high off the ground, as would be the case where the exit door is from an upper level, decks make much more sense. 
Choosing to have a patio at that level would necessitate extremely high walls. Creating multilevel patios is possible and walls can be designed to be reasonable heights. However, the amount of levels and walls would still up the cost tremendously.

 And I mean by huge amounts of money. Decks which are entered from second story rooms can be creative ones. They can have interesting shapes. Another option is to design a multi level deck. 

One area might be your main living area, while another might be a smaller area for relaxing, closer to ground level.
