Designing wooden balcony starts with considering safety,
aesthetics, and cost.

Wooden balcony that looks fantastic on one building may look
terrible on another, and seemingly simple balcony design may actually cost significant
amount of money. Consider the materials used to build the structure as well has
how much material will be necessary; the design of the structure will have an
impact on its cost and strength, so some research into various designs will be
necessary.
Sometimes wooden balcony can be built with timber commonly
used for framing, such as pine.

Cantilevered balcony made from pine may become unsafe as the
wood bends, rots, or splits, and the wooden balcony may begin to bounce or
sway. Stronger materials that are resistant to water damage, such as
pressure-treated lumber or certain types of naturally water-resistant woods
such as cedar, are much better choices, but they will drive up the cost of the
structure.

The builder should think carefully about how the wooden
balcony will be used. Sometimes the structure will be purely decorative, which
means it will not be weight-bearing. This will cut down on costs because fewer
materials will be necessary to stabilize the balcony, and it can be simply
affixed to the face of structure. If the balcony is to be weight-bearing, the
builder will need to consider how the structure will be stabilized.

Designing an enclosed wooden balcony will be bit more
difficult, as the framing materials and enclosure materials can vary
significantly according to how the balcony is likely to be used. balcony can,
for example, simply be screened in with wire screens and wood or aluminum
framing materials, or it can feature windows mounted in solid frames. Such
materials will, again, affect both the usefulness of the structure and the cost
of the project.
