Terrace in the second floor or called hanging terrace maybe is a common thing and often found today in open form. In the tropical region that has the rainy and dry/hot season, open porch will have a problem when the weather change happen. The main problem is during the rainy season, open hanging terrace will allow the entry of rainwater into the house, especially in heavy rains. We usually expect the slope of the roof can protect the house from rain and sun, but roof design often cannot protect maximum.
Complete your hanging terrace with windows to prevent the entry of water in to the house. You can open all windows when the weather outside the house quite friendly to get fresh air and the warmth of the sun. Conversely, if the weather is bad, close all windows in order to protect interior of the house from rainwater splash. Do not worry; you can still perform the usual activities sitting in the terrace enjoying the scenery around. Low windows will help your eyes view wide open.
Such as terraces in general, you can add potted plants on your hanging terrace. Potted plants not only beautify the look of patio but also soothing and refreshing the atmosphere in your house. With the addition of Windows, you do not have to worry about your teak outdoor furniture or teak garden furniture when the rain comes. Your furniture will be safe in all weather conditions.
