Deck?

[laepelba]

What word would I use for "deck"? Like the thing that is built on the back of a house where you can put your grill and table and chairs and eat outdoors, etc.

And how would I describe a two-level deck?

Thanks!

"porche" (porch)???? "toldo"??
I need a photo or an example (a movie....)

una terraza de dos niveles
un deck de dos niveles

Edit: un balcón may also work

For Sosia, here are some pictures. deck (http://www.milesbradley.com/contact.htm) deck (http://www.ipe-deck.com/gallery-of-ipe-deck-photos9-12.htm)

What about "ándito"? I found that in the Tomisimo dictionary when I typed in "balcón".... But ándito almost sounds diminutive....

[sosia]

ándito it's a very technical word..... not common use.
I would use "terraza", "plataforma" or "balcón".
Other places simply say "desk".
Saludos :D

Terraza = medium to large balcony for tables and chairs.
Balcón = smaller, narrow balcony, often no wider than a window, max. 3' deep.
Terrado = Huge rooftop area sometimes criss-crossed with washing lines.
Toldo = Tent or fabric canopy.

So the word you seek is - PATIO! <Y patio con dos niveles>.
