In the 1500s other people began moving to North America. The first European settlers were Spanish and they settled in what is now Florida and the Southwest. In the 1600s, the French settled mainly in what is now Canada and the English came to live on the east coast of North America. Soon other Europeans joined them.
A porch has a roof and typically has the lower half if with a fancier railing or half wall to match the rest of the house and sometimes is completely closed in to become a sun porch. A deck rarely had a roof it is designed to be a big open space for gatherings BRAVO to those of you who actually knew the difference.
Love your porch so much Susan that we also just contracted to replace our deck with a screened in porch like yours. It will be 15 x 20 and have a new deck running along the back of our home that will be 15 x 29.At the end of the deck, opposite the porch, will be a 14x 15 pergola with a fan.eep in mind my cost included removal of the old deck and the addition of two new decks, as well as the screened in porch. If youâre just adding on a porch and go with regular deck flooring, normal height porch ceiling, non-arched windows, not so many outlets, etcâ¦ you can save a good bit.
