Typical sizes and tips
- A bistro table about 60–70 cm (24–28 in) across seats two on a narrow balcony.
- A dining table for four needs a balcony about 2.2 m (7 ft) deep or more including chairs.
- Leave at least 60 cm (24 in) of clear path to the door.
- Wet soil is heavy: check the balcony load limits before adding large planters.
- Do not place climbable furniture next to the railing if children use the balcony.
