Patio & Balcony Layout Planner

Make a simple 3D layout of your outdoor space. Add walls and privacy screens, then drag furniture, plants, doors, and windows into place.

1 Floor & roof
2 Sides & privacy screens

A is far from you in the drawing, C is nearest. B is right, D is left. Select a screen on every side you want to cover.

A · far side

B · right side
C · near side
D · left side

Doors & windows on existing walls

Select a wall above to add an opening.

Drag doors along their wall; drag windows along the wall and up/down. Symbols start at up to 3 ft wide; door height up to 6.5 ft, window height up to 3 ft. Smaller wall sections reduce the symbol size. Existing-opening markers only; no construction, door swing, or access assessment.

Measure from the floor to the top you want, even when screening starts above a railing. A point or comma works for decimals.

Optional: estimate panels & cost

You can draw your space without product measurements. Open this when comparing a specific panel system, then enter the panel width for each screened side above. Those same widths are used for the drawing and the estimate. Each side is rounded up separately; offcuts are not reused automatically.

Assumes the same unit price on all sides. Add supports, delivery, and taxes yourself.

3 Arrange your space

Fixed illustrative footprints: chairs 2 × 2 ft each; table 2 × 2 ft. Drag pieces and rotate chairs in the drawing. This is a visual arrangement, not a furniture or clearance specification.

Add more pieces

Fixed example footprints: bench 4 × 1.5 ft, lounger 2 × 5 ft, side table 1.5 × 1.5 ft, chest 3 × 1.5 ft. All can be dragged; rectangular pieces can be rotated. Choose only what fits.

Add potted plants

Illustrative pots and foliage: 1.5 ft footprint, 4 ft total height. Drag each plant. These are not plant suitability or growth recommendations.

Your space, your layout

Example only · 10 × 8 ft floor

Build your layout from the floor up.

Start with the floor dimensions. Add walls, railings, and screens on sides A–D, then move furniture into place.

If a combination does not work, this example or your last valid plan stays visible while you correct it.

Keep your ideas

Save a layout. Try another.

Keep up to eight named layouts in this browser, compare two versions, or download a file to reopen on another device. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing browser data removes browser copies; downloaded files are your backups.

Saving keeps the last applied layout, including moved objects, rotations, locks, doors, windows, and the viewing angle. Use Show my layout to apply changed settings first.

What the drawing means

A rectangular floor, a flat full-area roof, wall/railing sections on four sides, example screen modules, furniture/plant footprints, and movable existing-door/window markers. Partial walls can share a side with a privacy screen, railing, or both. Screens span the available section unless you choose a shorter length; separate pieces can leave regular or uneven gaps. Product panel counts are optional and never approve cutting or fitting a panel.

The planner keeps items within floor and wall bounds. Overlapping objects are allowed so you can explore compact arrangements. Rotate the view to see all four sides; use object locks to reach pieces behind others. It does not assess walking clearance, door swings, wind, structural loads, guard compliance, or mounting methods. Confirm product and building requirements before installation.
