Is a porch considered a deck?

• <div><p>While porches and decks are similar in some ways, the two structures aren’t exactly the same by definition. A porch is a covered structure that’s usually attached to the front of a home. On the other hand, a deck is an open structure without a roof that’s often attached to the side or back of a home. </p></div>

Q: Where can I get new porch columns?

• <div><p>If your contractor isn't sourcing your new porch columns for you, you can find them at your local home improvement store or hardware store. You can also order them online for delivery. If you want a unique look or want to save some money, you can also source porch columns from auctions and restore them before having them installed. </p></div>

Q: How long will landscape timbers last in the ground?

• <div><p>Landscape timbers can last <b>10 to 20 years</b> in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.</p></div>

Q: How much weight can a porch swing hold?

• <div><p>Most two-person porch swings are rated to hold up to 500 pounds or more. However, each swing manufacturer has its own recommended weight limits, with some as low as 250 pounds while others are as high as 800 pounds. Always double-check the manufacturer&rsquo;s guide and stay within the recommended range when in doubt.</p></div>

Q: How long will it take to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you&rsquo;ll be without the screened-in space. </p></div>
