Dear forum users,

I would appreciate any of your help to instruct me on the following matter (any advice is valuable):

I have a small balcony on the third floor and two kids who visit this balcony. How can I protect or construct or add something to make a balcony more safe from falling. Will a glass window be an option?

Thank you.

Yes i think you could have a window/ windows installed. i have seen this done is some apartments in Lefkosa. But it will be hot in the summer.

You could try railings rather than enclose the balcony (which you sometimes have to have permission for).

..The apartment is in Patara city, I am not sure to get a permission to cover it by glass..

Will railings be from metal or wood and how expensive it can be?
