Karen,
更多的info please:
- where is the house
- what portions of the porch are you asking about specifically (roof? flooring? railings? columns?)
- 这些门廊会只是为了出口/入口，还是他们和朋友一起出去？
- what's the style/architecture of the home?
- will they be fully open or enclosed with screens or glass?
- 他们是在地面上方的等级（即没有栏杆），或者他们超过30英寸？
目前，您的问题很多是广泛和非指挥......
Hi Andy,
- 房子在牛顿，马
- 需要一切建议
- Front porch is for walkway to main door and will have space to hang out and back porch will lead to patio
- 瓦片风格的家
- Back door to patio will have a screen
- Both porches need railings
再次感谢，
- Karen
你要求“美丽，合理的价格和低维护”。这可能是旧的俗话“快速，便宜，高品质......挑选两个”。
你没有询问的一件事是绿色或可持续的，但由于你在这个网站上，我也会假设这是标准的一部分。
Porch / Deck的明显适度价格，低维护选项是PVC和合成材料（即Trex，Azek等）。但他们通常在所有或特别美丽（尽管他们的营销材料可能对相反）的情况下不是很绿。
A really beautiful and low maintenance product for exterior surfaces can be a product like IPE wood (aka Iron wood). With a little research you can find itFSC certifiedso that helps with the sustainability side. It is also so dense that it weathers extremely well and doesn’t require aftermarket stains and VOC finishes. However ... very few people would consider it reasonably priced and most carpenters upcharge for installing it because it is so @#$% hard that it kills drill bits and saw blades.
另一个，有些更新，您可能要考虑的选项是热修改的木材。一家提供商是PureWood Products。这是一个国内生长和生产的材料（像热带气候导入的IPE等森林），其含有没有添加的压力处理化学品，但对于外部应用完全安全。You don’t have any worries about chemicals leaching into the ground water or onto your pets, kids, etc. That also means that it is fully recyclable at the end of it’s service life which is a problem with some composite decking and all pressure treated wood.
该产品可能需要比复合材料或IPE更好的维护，但它比其中一个人更合理地定价。取决于您的瓦片饰面，它也可能能够与它们相混合得很好。它们具有全系列的装饰，T＆G Porch板，T＆G天花板，扶手，栏杆等。
我从他们那里没有看到的一件事是楼梯栏杆。这对您来说很重要，因为根据检查员如何在牛顿，他们可能希望您在步骤上有一个“可抓住的”扶手。他们为护栏提供的2x4产品不会符合该标准。这意味着您要么必须添加直径较小的并行栏杆，或者您的承包商将不得不将其进行修改2x4护栏。
Since they have the whole system, this should cover you for flooring, rails, and ceiling. Then you’ll just need to think about architecturally correct columns and your roofing material. Presumably, the roof will be the same as the rest of the house, in typical shingle style vernacular.
For the columns, I’d suggest trying to see if you could track down some locally salvaged ones which should be architecturally correct and highly “green.” A good web site to find salvage suppliers near you is the建筑材料重用协会member directory.
或者，如果附近没有任何附近，您可以尝试其中一个回收的木材批发商，如杰尔卡which is just down the road from you in Chelsea. They could sell you the reclaimed old-growth wood which you could get milled into the column design of your choice. A few other similar options which aren’t as close areMountain Lumber Company在弗吉尼亚州或者古董木材in Pennsylvannia.
About that back porch..... I think you said its function is to lead to a patio. That sort of implies that is the only function, so assuming that is the only function, why do you have to have a PORCH to reach the patio? If the area is for mild weather use only, then you can hit all three goals (beautiful, cheap, and low maintenance) by skipping the porch and either bringing the patio to the house, or connecting the two with a landscaped pathway. I mean, why walk to the patio over a foundation, floor assembly, walls/columns, and roof when you could get through the shady tunnel of roses and grapes (or whatever)? If you are worried about roof lines and all, maybe you can address those issues with what you plant
Steve,
在该国的雨水区，每个外门都应受到屋顶的保护。这就是为什么门廊通常有意义 - 即使是一个小门廊。
Thanks for the comment Martin.... does that mean the simple cantilevered roof over the door swing on my side entrance is a "porch" roof? Maybe in the tech-speak of architecture but as an end user I sure don't think of it that way. From the scant information I was assuming Karen's patio is farther from her door than the landing or stairs or whatever immediately in front of her door, and my post was in reference to that additional distance, if any.
你好。为什么没有提及耐腐蚀的树木，成本与PT成本相当（特别是蝗虫，也是落叶松，在蝗虫和落叶松10年以上的10年内将持续25年的落叶松）？
