This screen porch project has a partially open gable (see the "V" shape of the siding). An A-frame design allows for this design, which allows you to get a bigger, more expansive view looking directly out from inside the porch. Depending on the direction of the sun, it may be advantageous to close the gable, thereby cutting down on the amount of sunlight.

This project is a two-level deck with a roof and screened enclosure over the upper level deck. Two skylights and a window were installed to allow more sunlight in, while still providing shelter from the rain. The screen porch uses an aluminum-based system called ScreenEZE. ScreenEZE allows for a wide span between support posts, allowing for greater visibility of the outside. Both decks use tongue-and-groove AZEK decking, which uses concealed fasteners to secure the decking to the framing underneath.

This project contains a deck and a screened enclosure. The enclosure contains a open gable, two skylights, and a full cathedral ceiling, giving the enclosure a more open feel and more sunlight than a normal enclosure. The deck features benches, planter boxes, and a white picture-frame border. A small retaining wall was installed next to one corner of the deck, eliminating the code requirement for railing on the lower area of the deck. If a deck is under 30" high, railing can be omitted in areas if not desired.
