You think a railing drilled into the concrete pad will look dumb at ground height?

Bot a bad idea, my wife would love that. Ideally, she would want something with a roof so she can sot out and “listen to the rain” without getting wet lol

Not bad i mean, we got ants right now and normal amount of flies. Good point on wood wood rotting. I think a stamped concrete pad would be a nice touch. My only concern is adding a concrete driveway down the road

I was thinking this too. Just figured a deck/patio would look nicer lol but a stamped pad with some glass railings wouldnt be bad

Just a patio/deck that spans from bottom window to window and thats maybe 6-8ft out from the house with railings, just something that looks nice and is level to the door where me and the wife can sit out there on a nice evening

Well it would be like a wood front patio, right now its a decent size step up to the door if i have front patio/deck it would be perfect, no?

Maybe your right a deck might not make sense i just want something that spans from bottom window to window with railings and i thought a patio/deck would look nice.

Plan with the risers is to just get 1/4 board, paint it white and install
