Can my deck support a sunroom?

• <div><p>Even if your deck is properly constructed with a solid foundation, it doesn’t always mean it can handle the extra weight of a sunroom. Always call in a structural engineer to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-inspect-my-deck.htm">perform a deck inspection</a> to evaluate the quality and structural integrity of the deck before building. You may need to reinforce the foundations and joists, and with decks in poor condition, it might be better to tear them down and start again. A pro can help you decide.</p></div>

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>

What maintenance does a wood deck need?

• <div><p>A wood deck needs an annual cleaning, plus refinishing every two to three years, which involves <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-sand-deck.htm">sanding the deck</a> and applying stain or sealer. If you have a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-paint-deck.htm">painted deck</a>, you’ll need to repaint it every 10 years. You should also fix and repair loose or broken deck boards, nails, and screws. Cleaning your deck regularly and applying sealant protects the wood from the elements, water damage, rot, mildew, and fading from the sun.</p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood wear out?

• <div><p>While the chemical, copper-based coating on pressure-treated wood offers protection from rot and pests, it&rsquo;s not a silver bullet. An added sealant will help protect the wood further, though sometimes the wood is treated in a way that causes premature failure, and this is largely out of your control. It&rsquo;s simply a case of bad luck. Regularly inspect all your house&rsquo;s wood to look for any cracks or signs of mold and mildew. Getting ahead of the problem is the key to ensuring it doesn&rsquo;t grow out of control.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a snow blower on a deck or patio?

• <div><p>Yes, but it works best with lightweight snowblowers, the single-stage models or electric versions. Also, you need to have a rubberized intake edge on the ground and preferably rubberized auger paddles, not a metal version. Otherwise you may chip or damage the surface as you work. When it doubt, let the snow lie.</p><p>You can also use a snow blower on leveled gravel, but only if you carefully adjust the intake height so it doesn&rsquo;t kick up the gravel and turn it into flying missiles.</p></div>
