Balcony Beautification
The balcony is an extension of your home, and your balcony is the spot where you and your family relax and read a favorite book, enjoy entertaining friends and family, and take in a bit of fresh air and sunshine. The balcony is one part of the home that can be decorated to complement the seasons or for any reason, and if you enjoy entertaining on your balcony, you can make it an inviting space where everyone who enters your home will also love to hang out. Think about the following steps to adorn the balcony, and transform your traditional balcony into an extraordinary place for relaxing and spending time.
Deciding Upon an Unique Holiday, Season, Theme or Design. The accessories you choose to adorn the balcony depend upon the selected theme. For even more beauty, consider adding pots of flowers, vines and foliage during the spring and summer months. During the autumn season, the balcony can be adorned with bales of hay, friendly scarecrows and pumpkins. In the wintertime, your outdoor space can be outfitted with seasonal or holiday decor. A balcony can be a showplace that will change with each season and holiday. Decorate your balcony according to your personal style and preference, and make the balcony an area where you can show off with always changing uniqueness and creativity.
Cleaning the Balcony. No matter the design and the way in which your balcony will be used, it is important to clean the balcony before beginning to decorate. You must remove any items that are not necessary and completely remove any dirt and debris. In addition, wipe away any webs or dirt on vertical surfaces before you start to furnish and decorate your outdoor space. A clean area is much more comfortable and inviting.
Adding Comfortable Accessories and Furniture. Most people are more likely to sit outdoors if the seating is adjustable and allows for greater comfort. Before beginning to decorate a balcony, select outdoor seating wisely, and invest in furniture that is likely to be used instead of going for the cheapest options. Also, choose side tables for holding snacks and beverages. Make sure that outdoor furnishings are something you will be proud to display on your balcony. With proper care, wicker, metal, or wood can last for years and will enhance the overall look of your balcony.
Decorate with Largest Pieces First. After cleaning and outfitting the balcony with furniture, decorate with larger pieces first. For example, when setting up fall decor, place small bales of straw or hay in corners, and use them as platforms for displaying carved pumpkins, scarecrows, gourds, and any other fall decorations. Once bulkier items are in place, smaller items can be moved and arranged as needed.
Selection of Balcony Decor. It is not necessary to browse the seasonal aisle of discount stores or home improvement stores to find just the right accessories to decorate a balcony. You can make your balcony even more unique by placing items on the balcony that are not typically found there, such as items found at yard sales, decoy items, and more. Decorate your balcony with original items and it will draw more interest from passersby. Best of all, you will be able to sit back and relax in an outdoor area that is well decorated and uniquely stylish.
Lighting as a Decorative Accent. Balconies are great for enjoying evenings outdoors, and a balcony that is used quite often should include outdoor lighting. Think about all-weather rope lighting to light a balcony. Decorative lighting of this kind can be purchased in various colors and lengths and can be extended or cut to fit any space. Rope lighting looks great when installed under a balcony railing or around the base. Indoor/Outdoor lights used to adorn the home during the winter season are just the thing for placing with exterior displays, and they provide just the right amount of illumination on dark spring, summer, fall or winter nights. With a little bit of care, and some planning, you can create an inviting and ideal atmosphere on the balcony that will be a welcome sight at day's end.

how do i build an outdoor wall mounted cat ramp?
I am moving from a garden flat to a first floor flat and I have two cats, I would like to let them have access to the back garden via the window. The downstairs neighbours are fine with this.
How would I make this?
A wooden ramp is probably best. A board about 9" (23 cm) wide will be safe. Fix it firmly to your wall with strong brackets as a wobbly ramp will frighten them. They can go up quite steep slopes at 1 in 4 but fix small slats on the board at 6" intervals as the board can be slippery when wet or icy.
Maybe you can get the sort of slatted boards used for chicken houses. Don't use plastic.
