Patio - patio, intended for a cozy holiday in the air. Initially, the Italian patio was fenced from the outside world with the walls of the houses. The modern analog involves the open-air space equipped for relaxes, fenced with a screen, hedge or green plantings.

This location is very convenient for the possibility of free movement between the seating area and the kitchen. Three other sides of the site can remain completely open or fallen shirms and hedges.
2. In the corner of g- and p-shaped buildings. Then the site will have two or three stationary hands in the form of walls of the house.
3. In the remote and quiet place of the garden. The fence in such a variant of the patio can serve lattices with curly plants or "live" fences from shrubs.
4. On the shore of the reservoir. Such a patio device is particularly valuable in the hot season.
