What’s the difference between a deck footing and a deck post?

• <div><p>Both deck footings and deck posts help prop up your deck. However, footings are the bottommost parts of a deck that touch the ground. They’re usually made of concrete.

What are the different types of porches?

• <div><p>Several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-porch.htm">types of porches</a> are available to meet your needs and style preferences. Some common porch types include:</p><ul><li><p><b>Porticos</b> are essentially a roof over a walkway leading to the home's front entrance. </p></li><li><p><b>Sunrooms </b>are closed-in porches that are an extension of the house with glass or plastic panels that allow optimal sunlight. </p></li><li><p><b>Wraparound porches</b> extend around the entire home, or at least the front and one side, and offer multiple entrances to the house.</p></li><li><p><b>Back porches </b>are an extension of the home’s floor into the outdoors. These offer more protection and privacy than a deck.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
