The porch has a classic design with a gable roof, skylights, fan, and ceilings lined with warm beaded pine. We made the structural collar ties into a design element by wrapping them with knotty pine. The structure is pressure-treated wood with Trex decking and railings. Our clients wanted to use the porch year-round, so we included electric heater units attached to the top frame. A single door leads to a deck and stairs to the yard. The deck has a privacy screen, needed as the deck is near the property line, with an area for a gas grill.
