How to build a wooden balcony | SWR Handwerkskunst

Master carpenter Patrick Pressel and his employees are replacing an almost 20-year-old wooden balcony with an improved construction to ensure long-term durability. Wood is a living building material and offers a wide range of possibilities. Pressel uses this variability to prevent moisture damage. The special measures he takes ensure optimum air circulation and prevent the formation of fungus and moss.

By using high mountain larch, which is known for its longevity, he raises the building quality to a new level. Pressel joins the pieces of wood together with skilled craftsmanship and detailed expertise, using both modern techniques and tried-and-tested artisanal methods.

In addition to his professional approach to wood, water and damage caused by waterlogging, Patrick Pressel also has valuable tips on balcony maintenance. This will ensure that your new balcony is not only beautiful, but also durable.
