Splash guard at roof overhang?

Hi!

We are currently planning the splash guard, pathways around the house, and the terrace. We have a roof overhang of about 80 cm. Can I also plan the splash guard under 30 cm on these sides? Especially in the terrace area, I am wondering if 15 cm is also sufficient with an 80 cm roof overhang... What do you think? Cheers ;)

So you're planning wall - splash guard - terrace? Actually, the terrace starts directly at the wall. There is no splash guard there. Or rather, the terrace is the splash guard.

We have a roof overhang of about 80 cm. Can I also plan the splash guard below 30 cm on these sides?

How high is the roof overhang above the ground? And which orientation - on the wind-exposed side (in the west) you need more than in the east. What comes after the splash guard?

Hi!

So the eaves will be 2.70 m high and 80 cm wide. The terrace will not be level with the finished floor surface. So we are planning a step. I am just a bit unsure because we had two different opinions on this.

In which cardinal directions would a splash guard make the most sense?

The terrace will not be level with the top edge of the finished floor. So we are planning a step.

That does not matter: the terrace replaces the splash guard. You just have to make sure that the rain also drains there. Do you have a bungalow with an 80 cm roof overhang? Doesn’t that make the house too dark? Back to the question: the weather sides should be given more attention. Personally, I would want it to be the same for aesthetic reasons.

*LOL* I have heard of prevailing wind directions, but a prevailing rain direction would be new to me :)

Well, the weather side in Germany is usually the west side. More precipitation comes under the roof overhang there than in the east.

I think the OP is mentally mixing up two concepts here: splash guard (=prevents dirt from splashing onto the facade) and drainage strip (=keeps the base of the facade dry). The gravel strip around the house is perfect for both purposes. A paved terrace also prevents dirt from splashing up, but drainage must then be ensured.
