A paved surface at grade, off the back of the house. No guard, no framing and no footing schedule -- which is what separates it from a deck. Usually about 12 by 16 ft.
The sheet carries the fixture clearances as drawn geometry on their
own layer, with the dimension strings and room notes outside the
walls.

Codes cited on the sheet
-
unverified
IRC 2021 R311.3 floors and landings at exterior doors (unverified)
— A floor or landing on each side of an exterior door, not less than the width of the door and not less than 36 in in the direction of travel. Where the patio is at grade it satisfies this directly.
-
unverified
IRC 2021 R312.1 guards (unverified)
— Guards are required at walking surfaces more than 30 in above the grade below. A patio at grade is the definition of the case where no guard is needed, which is the structural difference between a patio and a deck.
-
unverified
NEC (NFPA 70) outdoor receptacle requirements (article and section unverified)
— Outdoor receptacles shall be weather-resistant and GFCI-protected.
-
unverified
typical practice
— 36 in of chair pull-out on every seated side of the table, the same number as indoors.
-
unverified
typical practice
— Surface slope away from the building of about 1/4 in per foot, with the finished surface held below the door threshold and the siding line. This is drainage practice rather than a cited section.
"Verified" means the citation was checked against the source
text we hold. "Unverified" means it has not been, and should be
read as a pointer to look the section up rather than as a
quotation of it.
How this was checked
20 of 76 checks graded, zero defects. This template is published because

A single room on its own sheet is not a whole building, so the
checks that grade a floor plate — exit counts, circulation
share, fixture counts against an occupant load — have no
subject here. They are listed rather than counted as passes.
