Typically, the terrace is partially fenced off from the rest of the garden, using decorative walls, flowerpots with flowers or groups of plants planted directly into the ground. Terrace coating can be made of various materials, for example, of natural stone or in the form of wooden flooring. But the coating should be even and not slippery, frost -resistant, after the rain – quickly dry out. The terrace adjacent to the stone house can be built using ceramic brick. It is important that the brick is of good quality and has a beautiful appearance. The most important moment in the construction of the terrace is the laying of the foundation. If the house, for example, is located above the level of the garden (the surrounding lawn is meant by the level of the garden), then add an additional layer of soil under the base of the terrace. At the same time, the bulk soil must be compacted and, if necessary, strengthened, in order to exclude its sliding along the slope. The base for covering the terrace is a concrete screed 80 mm thick with a reinforcing mesh laid on a ground-gravel pouring. The surface of the screed is dedicated to a slope of 1: 200 from home to the periphery to ensure water flow from the terrace coating. Concrete tiles laid on a cement-sand mixture layer are selected as a coating. The seams between the tiles are also filled with dry cement-sand mixture moisturized after laying tiles. Jardinier, columns for street lamps, windproof walls laid out of brick can be arranged as decorative fences on the terrace. When installing jadinier, the drainage of excess moisture during watering of plants should be provided, as well as the waterproofing of the internal walls. For example, on the bottom (directly on the ground) it is necessary to lay a layer of gravel or crushed stone, install a drainage pipe that goes beyond the terrace, and coat the internal walls with hot bitumen or plastered with a hydrophobic cement solution. Lay jadnings, columns and walls usually in half a brick, less often on the rib. To increase the strength of the structure, reinforcement is used. When erecting columns for installing street lamps, it is necessary to provide electrical wiring – a cable laid in a metal pipe. To make the seams of brickwork the same, you can use the gaskets – wooden rails with a cross section of 10×10 mm laid between the rows of masonry. Reiki after grasping the solution is removed, and the seams are extended. You can create beautiful terraces as a result of a combination of various materials. A very good impression is made by a combination of natural stone and gravel or even wood for coatings. For floor coverings, not only materials play an important role, but also the drawings of surface laying. A beautiful effect can be achieved if you plant bright flowers, usually cultivated in rocky gardens along the boundaries of the terrace. Modern houses built from glued beams have many advantages. After all, glued beam is made of several layers of wood, and does not dry out under the influence of moisture.
