Timber porch detail. A covered porch. A porch (from Old French porche, from Latin porticus colonnade, from porta passage) is a construction usually external to the walls of the main building proper, but may be enclosed by latticework, broad windows, screen, or other light frame walls extending from the main structure.
The most traditional kind of porch, the front porch is popular with homeowners who want to keep up with the neighborhood or create a welcoming entry for guests. Plan your porch to blend with your home's design, not take away from it.
