Does anyone have steps down from their bifolds?

Some quite random comments here. So thought best to give some input. OP as others have said just ensure your builder/architect has applied to building control and served notice. This only needs to be done 48hrs before the works start (including full plans application). If you decide to go with the decking idea ensure it is not above the 300mm otherwise you will need planning permission. Similarly ensure the the heights of the extension all meet permitted development heights measured from grade not finished floor level.

We will reach a compromise here. We will agree to disagree on the items you have highlighted above!

I would always go for stone over decking. We have a roughly 20cm drop from bifolds to patio and I built a simple step with bricks and paving slabs, which does the job nicely.

Hi - I had a step down of probably close to 30cm from the bifolds to the unfinished ground outside, so I built a raised deck using Plastic Composite decking to get a level walk through from the inside of the house on to the deck, and then finished the grass flush to that height too.
