Top Deck and Porch Types

Front Porch

The front porch was a classic element of American architecture for many decades. Families would relax on the front porch. Neighbors might stroll by and chat. Front porches are back in style in many new homes designed to foster community.

Pool Deck

Your pool is a place to relax as well as swim, and a deck provides a platform to “hang out” when you’re not in the pool.

Roof Deck

Your roof often provides the most dramatic views in your homes. For urban dwellers, the roof can provide extra space, and may be sunny when the back yard is in shade.

Back Porch

Your back porch is the gateway to your back yard.

Sun Porch

A sun porch is a porch enclosed by windows, or a room of a house dominated with windows covering most of the walls. The sun warms and brightens these rooms.

Wrap Around Porch

A wrap around porch is a porch with a right angle that encloses at least two adjacent sides of a home. A wrap around porch can also completely encircle a home.
