How Homes Are Built: Porch and Deck Install (Ep 13) - Parade of Homes Wisconsin

September 18, 20233 min read

Hello, home enthusiasts! As we continue our journey in the "Parade of Home" series, we find ourselves stepping out onto the magnificent deck and porch areas that grace our homes. In this episode, we're taking you through the nuances of installing the perfect porch and deck, a vital extension of your living space. Let's dive in!

Trex Decking: The Foundation of a Great Outdoor Space

When it comes to decking, we trust none other than Trex Decking. This episode kicks off with a showcase of the beautiful Trex decking that forms the foundation of our outdoor spaces. Not only does it offer a seamless look with hidden fasteners, but it also integrates wonderfully with its railing system, ensuring a cohesive and stylish appearance.

Hidden Fasteners and Seamless Integration

One of the standout features of Trex decking is the use of hidden fasteners, eliminating visible screws and providing a clean, sleek surface. The accompanying railing system integrates seamlessly, enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of the outdoor space.

Exploring the Different Sections: Uncovered, Covered, and Screened

As we venture further, we explore the different sections of the deck - the uncovered area that allows you to bask in the sunshine, the covered portion offering shelter and a cozy nook, and the screened-in section that provides protection from bugs while letting you enjoy the natural surroundings.

A Glimpse into the Largest Deck We've Built

In this episode, we take pride in showcasing one of the most extensive and picturesque decks we've built, offering a splendid view of the park. The deck is segmented into different areas, each serving a unique purpose and offering a different perspective of the outdoors.

Tips for a Bug-Free Screened Porch

A screened porch is a wonderful addition, but it comes with its own set of challenges, primarily keeping the bugs at bay. Here are some invaluable tips to ensure a bug-free experience.

Ensuring a Bug-Free Experience

To prevent bugs from entering through the bottom, it's essential to install a heavy-duty screen beneath the deck boards. In an ideal setup, we recommend constructing removable screen cages that can be easily removed to clean the debris that falls through the cracks. This proactive approach not only maintains the aesthetic appeal of your porch but also extends its longevity by preventing the accumulation of dirt and moisture, which can lead to deterioration over time. 

Moreover, these removable cages allow for easy maintenance, fostering a cleaner and healthier outdoor living space. By adopting such measures, homeowners can enjoy a serene and bug-free environment, making the most of their outdoor living spaces throughout the year.
