Measure circulation
Keep clear paths between doors, stairs, furniture and service areas.
Remember that chairs and reclining seats need extra movement space.
Review sun and wind
Observe the space at different times before choosing umbrella and seating positions.
Rooftops require additional attention to wind exposure and secure placement.
