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: Is it better to sand or power wash a deck?

• <div><p>It is best to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-power-wash-deck.htm">power wash your deck</a> and sand it, as cleaning removes grime, mildew, and dirt, while sanding refreshes the wood and allows the stain to penetrate. You should clean your deck first, sand it, and then stain it. You should clean your deck annually, while sanding and staining only needs to be done every three years. </p></div>

Q: Does pressure-treated wood have problems with rot?

• <div><p>Will pressure-treated wood rot? This wood could eventually suffer from rot, although it takes longer compared to untreated wood. Even though the chemicals applied to pressure-treated wood protect it, they eventually dissipate and leave the wood vulnerable. You can delay the appearance of rot in the treated wood by reducing its direct exposure to moisture and by painting it. Using fewer screws or nails in the wood&mdash;and thereby creating fewer holes in it&mdash;also delays the chances of rot forming.</p></div>

Q: Is an enclosed porch considered living space?

• <div><p>An enclosed porch can be considered a living space if it meets certain criteria. For instance, it must be completely enclosed with solid walls and a roof. It should also have a heating and cooling source similar to the rest of the home. Finally, the porch should have direct access to and from the interior of your house.</p></div>

Q: Does a porch need handrails?

• <div><p>Building codes typically require handrails if your porch is 30&rdquo; or more off the ground. However, it's important to check your local regulations and building codes to make sure, as this can differ depending on your location. When in doubt, check with a<a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/install-stair-railings/"> local porch handrail pro</a>, who will know the local codes and be able to get permits if any are required.</p></div>
