Juliet balconies aren’t designed for standing or walking on, as they don’t have a platform like a traditional balcony. They’re there to provide safety when doors are open and to give the feel of a larger, more open space from inside the home.

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission for a Juliet balcony, especially if it’s being added to an existing window or door opening and doesn’t include a platform. However, it’s always worth checking with your local planning authority, particularly if you live in a listed building or conservation area.

Yes, a well-designed porch can add value to your home. It boosts kerb appeal and helps keep your interior warmer by reducing draughts. While it might not add significant value to your property, it can make a strong first impression with potential buyers.

In most cases, you won’t need planning permission to build a porch. As long as the ground area is under 3 square metres, it’s no taller than 3 metres, and it’s not within 2 metres of a boundary or road, you should be fine under permitted development. However, it’s always best to check with the local council, especially if the area is a conservation or listed building.

Richard Burbidge decking accessories are designed to require minimal maintenance and withstand the British weather. Timber decking accessories will need treating with a suitable finishing once every couple of years depending on the exposure to the weather. See our product guide for more information on how to look after your decking and balustrade.

In the UK, the general rule is that a fence or privacy screen can be up to 2 metres high without planning permission, as long as it’s not in the front garden. If it’s near a road or pavement, the height limit is usually 1 metre. Always check with your local council if you’re unsure.

Building a wooden porch canopy is a great way to give your entrance a timeless, crafted look. Start by measuring your doorway and deciding on the size and style of your canopy. Next, fix timber gallows brackets to the wall, supporting the canopy frame. Cut and assemble the timber rafters and crossbeam to create the canopy structure, then attach it securely to the brackets. Add your roofing material: tiles, slats or felt.  Finish the process by sealing the joints and treating the wood with a weatherproof stain or paint. Finally, check the structure is level and all fixings are secure to ensure your porch canopy is complete and long-lasting. 

Cutting slatwall panels is simple with the right tools. Use a circular saw or a fine-tooth handsaw for straight, clean cuts. Measure and mark your panel carefully before cutting, and if your slat wall has a backing, be careful not to split it.

Installing gallows brackets is a simple way to support a porch canopy.. Mark the bracket positions on the wall and drill pilot holes. Use suitable wall plugs or fixings depending on your wall type (brick, block or timber). Once fixed, check they’re level before mounting the structure above. Always ensure the fixings are heavy-duty enough to carry the load.

Installing wood slat wall panels is a straightforward DIY project and can be done in two main ways: wall mounted or freestanding with posts. For wall mounting, start by marking out your desired area and checking for any uneven spots. Fix timber battens to the wall if needed for a secure base, then apply adhesive to the back of each panel and press it into place. For added strength, you can also use screws or nails, just be sure to use a spirit level to keep everything straight.

Choose a wood paint or stain suitable for outdoor use. Start by cleaning the surface and sanding any rough areas. Use a brush or sprayer to apply your paint, ensuring all gaps between the slats are reached. You may need a second coat for full coverage. Let it dry thoroughly between coats for the best finish.

Screening your garden can be done in a few stylish and practical ways. Slatted fence panels, tall planting or freestanding privacy screens are all great options. You can also add height to an existing fence with a trellis. Discover where you need privacy most, then choose a solution that complements your outdoor space.

Juliet balconies offer several benefits without needing much space. They allow you to open up a room to natural light and fresh air, create a feeling of more space indoors and enhance the exterior look of your home. They’re also relatively simple to install and can add a stylish focal point to an upper floor.

A Juliet balcony is a slim, balcony-style guard rail fitted just outside full-height doors or windows, usually on upper floors. Rather than a space you can walk out onto, it’s more of a safety feature that allows you to open doors and let in light and air while keeping the space secure. It adds a touch of elegance to both traditional and modern homes.

A porch adds both function and style to your home. It offers shelter from the weather, a space to remove muddy boots, and it can enhance the overall appearance of your property. It’s a practical buffer between indoors and outdoors. Plus, it gives your entrance a more welcoming feel.
