Is it better to have a courtyard or a large terrace in a rural self-built house? What's your opinion?

There are many places to pay attention to in building large terraces in rural areas, such as 1. When building a large terrace, we must consider the bearing problem and not be careless, so as to avoid accidents in which the bearing exceeds the load; 2, waterproof and drainage problems. If the waterproof and drainage system is not well done, water will seep into the room from the terrace and affect family life. This has been troublesome for a long time; 3. Besides being beautiful, safety is the most important choice for balcony guardrail. So the choice of balcony guardrail should not be troublesome. It is generally recommended to make a cast-in-place guardrail and fix it with steel bars and cast-in-place molds, which is firm and durable. Therefore, it is not easy to build a large terrace. There are many aspects to consider.

Then let's talk about the yard. A small yard can plant grass, vegetables and trees, a small fish pond, a small rockery, flowers and chickens. There are still many things to do. It's just a small farm with a better living environment and can cultivate sentiment. In contrast, the terrace is not so natural and free. Personally, I think courtyard design has more advantages in practicality. However, when building a courtyard, the design of the fence must be considered. People here also put forward suggestions: low brick walls can be used as the base, brick columns can be stressed, and then stainless steel, aluminum alloy, iron or zinc alloy can be used as the fence in the middle. This kind of enclosure structure is simple, but it has good ventilation and lighting. It has isolation function, but it doesn't feel completely closed. Very practical.

Based on the above, I think the courtyard is more practical and convenient than the large terrace. Of course, there is also the division of homestead. If the homestead is small, you can only choose the terrace. If conditions permit, if the homestead is large, it is of course best to have both. Flowers and vegetables can be planted in the yard, cars can be parked, vines can be set up on the terrace, and then tables and chairs can be placed. This is the real visual feeling of the country villa!

Advantages of the yard

1. First of all, it is independent and private, and there will be no crowds gathering.

Secondly, space is open, and everyone in the family will not be restricted by space.

3. Third, there are many functional fields. Besides eating, sleeping, reading, leisure and fitness.

Finally, the oversized courtyard allows you to enjoy the outdoor scenery without leaving home.
