mahogany wood wrap around porch HELP
Comments (17)Thanks for the recommendation. I contacted the manufacturer of the stain (Sikkens) and they recommended cleaning the deck with regular Spic and Span. This weekend I cleaned one of the decks (the cleanest) with a scrub brush & the spic-n-span and I have to say that it did a decent job at removing the dirt & the 'dirt haze' that we are having. I have yet to try the really dirty deck. I'm going to clean that one & see how the deck fairs under regular use( as opposed to muddy contractor feet) over the winter. Next spring I'll re-evaluate whether I should use another coat of the Sikkens or switch to another product. I still love the mahogony, but I think the dark color may prove to be difficult to keep looking clean (out in the country). Thanks for the help!...See MoreWrap around porch floor?
Comments (1)That works, To detail the framing, you could box out the hip girder so that it carries the 1x3 and the ends of all the flooring; a series of individual blocks to catch the hip flooring is not as good, as the blocks will move and make the seam uneven in the end. If it is hardwood, you can spline all of those joints for a really tight job, which will also keep more water out. If you use a nailed-up triple 2x girder, it will catch all the cut ends, but lay some kind of waterproof membrane across the top so that it does not become waterlogged. Outside corners of wraparound porches are actually pretty open to weather because it can blow in from 180 degrees. I like to keep the floor dry or at least well drained, because water does a number on miters....See MoreFront porch: To wrap around or not?
Comments (12)Definitely wrap around porch to meet the wing on the back of the right side. If your roof is a sloped one, you can add a hip roof corner. You might also consider something extra in the design just over the front entry door even if a forward gable roof isn't practical there -- perhaps with the porch posts: ask about different options for posts and roof supports to see if you actually need that many and make sure the spacing suits your intent taking into consideration window placement. Something else not uncommon in southern homes where people actually use their porch is having the corner widened creating the feel of a gazebo on the corner. https://www.google.com/search?q=southern+house+wrap+around+porch+with+gazebo+corner&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=cGdGujqQdCZ5aM%253A%252CXzHq5aLJgcKX3M%252C_&usg=AFrqEzfWv55lSpLZ2U7QJK_bvVEsDoKpWA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjq1fHh8MDdAhVIwVkKHdbLCMIQ9QEwAnoECAMQCA#imgrc=AgdUU5_9QcmJYM:&spf=1537147530943...See MoreWrap around porch disaster
