wanted to help a fellow ham set up an antenna on his terrace

I would be inclined to lay down as large a ground plane as
possible, i.e. floor the terrace with hardware cloth. Then
put up the longest possible center-loaded vertical in the
center of the ground plane. He has many of the same
constraints as a mobile antenna.
