(In the US, the "first floor" is the ground floor, but I know what you mean.)

There could be.

If I had a house with a garden on two levels, I'd call the patio on the higher level the upper patio. https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQG5cFSSlYacSSQxhKeVWmpNQ_8GVclJIvnwhgRoGBxZ19Kw4Qy

Here is a deck and an enclosed (screened-in) porch.
