A porch, patio or deck is often the gateway to your home and the first impression for visitors . These places should be comfortable, relaxing and designed to deliver on their intentions. We’ve all seen decks built in direct sunlight and as big as an aircraft carrier. As a result, the decks are too hot to use and too large for intimate gatherings.
