Many detached houses have a semi-open terrace adjacent to the front wall of the building, it is usually covered with boards, stones or tiles. It can be accessed by little steps and its roof is supported by special pillars. A backyard patio is a space that can be almost freely developed by placing furniture, a garden swing or your favorite plants. An elegantly and functionally furnished porch is a nice place to have your morning coffee, dine with friends as well as read a book or take a nap on a warm evening.
