A wooden terrace is a classic and natural solution that perfectly suits Estonian homes, summer houses, and terraced houses.
A wooden terrace is a classic and natural solution that perfectly suits Estonian homes, summer houses, and terraced houses. A wooden terrace creates a comfortable connection between the house and the garden and gives the outdoor area a warm, natural, and inviting look.
Terrassipoisid builds wooden terraces in Tallinn and Harjumaa. We help think through the terrace's size, shape, construction, material, and additions so the final solution suits both the style of the house and daily usage needs.
A wooden terrace can be built as a small seating area, a larger family and grill terrace, or as part of a comprehensive outdoor solution. If necessary, we plan stairs, railings, or other details that make the terrace more comfortable and practical.
Wood gives the terrace a warm and natural appearance. It suits a modern house, a classic private house, as well as a summer house. As a natural material, wood blends well with the garden, landscaping, and other outdoor areas.
A wooden terrace is a great choice if you want a natural feel and timeless look for your terrace. Different wood species and finishing options help match the terrace with the house facade, garden, and desired overall impression.
A wooden terrace can be adapted to very different objects. It can be built as a straight, angular, stepped, or multi-level solution. If necessary, stairs, railings, seating areas, or other practical details can be added to the terrace.
Wood is also well suited for situations where the terrace must consider the existing garden, house entrance, height differences, or limited space.
The initial cost of a wooden terrace is often lower than that of a WPC composite terrace or some more complex custom solutions. This makes a wooden terrace a good choice for a client who wants a practical and natural-looking terrace with a reasonable budget.
However, it must be considered that wood requires regular maintenance. Cleaning, oiling, or other finishing helps maintain the appearance of the terrace and extend its lifespan.
One of the great advantages of a wooden terrace is that it can be repaired and renewed if necessary. If a board gets damaged, it is often possible to replace it without rebuilding the entire terrace.
Also, over time, the surface of the terrace can be refreshed, fastenings can be tidied up, or structural parts strengthened if an old terrace needs it.
Impregnated wood is a practical and often more accessible choice for wooden terrace construction. It is well suited for simpler terraces, summer houses, smaller seating areas, and more budget-friendly solutions.
An impregnated wooden terrace requires regular maintenance to maintain its appearance and protect the surface from weather effects.
Thermowood is a more stable material with a more presentable appearance. It is a great fit for clients who want the feel of natural wood but appreciate a more uniform appearance and higher-quality result.
With a thermowood terrace, proper installation, a suitable frame, and the right fastenings are highly important.
Larch is a strong and natural-looking wood species frequently used for higher-quality terrace solutions. It is suitable for clients who appreciate the natural look of wood and a more distinguished outcome.
A larch terrace also requires maintenance. Regular cleaning and suitable finishing help maintain the appearance of the material and reduce the impact of the weather.
The price of building a wooden terrace depends on the size of the terrace, the chosen wood material, the condition of the base surface, the frame solution, and additional work. The final cost depends on the site, material and scope of work. The price of terraces of the same size may differ if one site has a ready base surface, while the other requires installing support posts, performing groundworks, or removing an old terrace.
As an estimated price, a simpler wooden terrace can start from €90/m², but the final cost depends on the site, material and scope of work. The price can also be affected by stairs, railings, more complex access, terrace height, finishing, or dismantling an old terrace.
For a more accurate quote, it is helpful to send the approximate size of the terrace, location, desired material, and if possible, a photo of the existing area. This allows us to better estimate the scope of work and offer a suitable solution.
First, we gather the necessary information: where the terrace will be, how big it should be, what material the client prefers, and how the terrace will be used.
At this stage, it is also useful to share photos of the existing area, the old terrace, or examples that you like.
The durability of a wooden terrace starts with the base surface. Therefore, we must assess what kind of soil the terrace will be built on, whether support posts are needed, what the height difference is, and how access is resolved.
The frame is one of the most important parts of a wooden terrace. A strong and correctly built frame helps ensure that the terrace remains stable, the decking boards are properly supported, and the structure withstands daily use.
After the base and frame are completed, the terrace boards are installed. During board installation, the correct gap, fastenings, room for expansion, and overall finishing are important.
A wooden terrace requires regular maintenance. Maintenance helps preserve the terrace's appearance, reduce weather impact, and extend the structure's lifespan. This usually involves cleaning, optionally oiling or other finishing, and checking the condition of fastenings and boards.
If dirt, leaves, or moisture accumulate on the terrace, the wood can wear out faster. Therefore, the terrace should be cleaned regularly and monitored to ensure water can drain from the surface.
The lifespan of a wooden terrace depends on the chosen material, installation quality, construction, usage load, and maintenance. If a board is damaged, it is in many cases possible to replace it, and the appearance of the terrace can be refreshed over time.
Wooden terraces and WPC composite terraces suit different clients. Wood is a material with a more natural appearance and feel. It often has a lower initial cost and can be repaired and renewed if necessary.
A WPC composite is usually a more expensive initial investment, but its advantage is a lower need for regular maintenance. Composite boards do not require oiling like wood, but they still need to be cleaned and maintained according to usage.
One solution is not always better than the other. The choice depends on the budget, house style, desired appearance, and how much maintenance you are willing to do later.
Examples of wooden terrace solutions help you better understand which terrace might suit your house, garden, and usage needs. The solution can be adapted according to the terrace's size, shape, material, and additions.
A wooden terrace connecting the indoor space and the garden fits perfectly next to a private house. Such a terrace can be designed for spending time with family, grilling, placing outdoor furniture, or simply for comfortable movement between the house and garden.
A smaller wooden terrace is well suited for a terraced house, summer house, or compact garden. Even for a small area, it is important to think through the shape of the terrace, access, and usage, so the space is comfortable daily.
If the terrace is above ground level or needs a convenient connection to the garden, stairs and railings can be added to the solution. These help make the terrace more comfortable and safer to use, as well as visually more complete.
The price of wooden terrace construction depends on the size of the terrace, the chosen wood material, the base surface, the frame, and additional work. As an estimated price, simpler solutions can start from €90/m², but the final cost depends on the specific site, material and scope of work.
Common choices are impregnated wood, thermowood, and larch. Impregnated wood is suitable for simpler and more practical solutions, thermowood for a more presentable appearance, and larch for a natural and stronger terrace solution.
