Question
On which side should the mezuzah be placed at the entrance to the balcony?
Answer
If it is an open balcony, even if it has a roof, but lacks shutters making it unsuitable for use as a room [one cannot sleep there in winter], the mezuzah is placed on the right side of one entering the house.
