@tanjaostman it would depend what it was built with, and where it was built
granted i'm no expert on this lol but i'd refer to them as follows
a decked area would have timber underfoot
a terrace would be raised and not flush with the ground floor
a balcony would be first floor or higher
a patio would be ground level, but probably slabs or concrete
to be honest, sitting area works for me π
i'm so glad English is such a simple language
@Berrybunchfamily @tanjaostman our patio is ground level and made of flat Slade of rock, our deck is about 3 feet off the ground made of wood. But!! "Outside there where the chairs are in the sun" works just as well!π€£
