Covered Deck to Screened Porch Conversion in NW Austin

The new screened porch did not require a railing by code because it’s not 30” higher than the ground. The homeowners wanted a railing anyway, primarily because they have a dog. The railing will serve a very important purpose: to prevent the dog from altering the screen. Aesthetically, the railing adds depth and dimension to the new outdoor room, so we think they made an excellent design decision to include it. They chose Deckorators balusters in black aluminum with an added touch of elegance, estate collars.

When thinking about the items you would like to include in your design, also think about the features that you don't need. For example: This family loves to grill, but didn't think it was necessary to have a built-in kitchen. Knowing this piece of information, we created a specific place for their grill and they were able to take the money saved and apply it to something else of personal value for the space!

An entertainment zone was high on the homeowner's wish list, so we integrated the television into the deck's feature wall. The custom barnwood enclosure hides the tv when not in use which offers a timeless design to the space.

See how much better this looks without a soffit? Just leave the gorgeous materials alone and stop covering them up. I can't imagine wasting time and money and materials covering this gorgeousness up. I love exposed framing and rafter tails, especially when they are large timbers. Like the contrast of the black, silver (galvalume), cedar tone, and concrete. It really pops.

Close up detail of rear screen porch. I know with standard non-rustic non-timberframe work in the past we had always been encouraged to never show the wane on the wood (the bark portion showing on the column). Always cut off the wane, or hide the wane by placing it where it would never be seen. It's been so refreshing embracing the wane, loving the wane, showing it. As we said in the 80's...i think it looks mint.

As with many of our clients, these Leander homeowners were seeking better usability of their covered patio area. Along with a patio flooring upgrade, Archadeck of Austin achieved the additional living area they had in mind, and this new space expounds upon the stylish aesthetic that was already in place. A real backyard reTREAT!

To complete the project, we washed and painted the interior walls (the existing house walls). The homeowner installed new Hardie siding, and we washed and painted the area we did the work in. Within the scope of the project, we re-ran electric service to a few different areas of the porch. We also finished the underdeck area with cedar lattice.

We purposely left this cold rolled steel to rust. We love the effect since we are going for a rustic vibe with this project. Also, like how the "floating" post effect turned out. Also better water detail to prevent end grain soakage. Parging coat of lower concrete post gives a nice lighter coloring effect and a cool rougher texture.

A pic from underneath the front entry way porch during construction. Nice closer view of the really nice metal siding on this project. I like the rib pattern. Board and Batten wood is one of my favorites but the maintenance is a lot. This looks the same from a litle distance.

Thought I would try an artistic shot from down low. Kind of wanted to capture the porch columns from a different angle.

True rustic barnwood won't hide its "imperfections". Here, you can see the rugged profile and nail holes. The black powder coated hardware adds a sophistication to the natural wood and manufactured stone veneer.

Rustic All Railing Veranda Ideas and Designs

While they may not be as large as their US equivalents, in the UK and Ireland rustic verandas, pergolas, porches and porticos are still handy little halfway houses between your driveway and your front door or your garden and your back door. Verandas are structures that cover an area next to your house, usually over a patio or decked area at the back as part of your garden, and they offer a sheltered outdoor space that you can enjoy all year round. Pergolas are usually separate from your house but offer basic cover for outdoor dining or simply relaxing. Porches can either give you shelter from the rain (perhaps as you find your keys at the front door) in the form of a basic, open porch canopy structure, or be built out into a small room or vestibule where you can remove and store coats, shoes and umbrellas. Porticos fall into the former category of porch design but are much grander than regular porches, usually with colonnades at either side of the door supporting the porch roof and giving a regal touch to the exterior of your home. If you think your home could benefit from a sheltered outdoor structure, either for dining outside or just taking your coat and boots off as you enter your house, take a look at the porch, portico and veranda ideas, designs and photos from homeowners and designers to take inspiration.

How do I choose a rustic veranda design?

Glass verandas are one of the most common veranda designs because they let in light, offer slight shade and still protect from the elements, while wooden verandas are also popular due to their traditional-looking style. If your garden and house exterior are styled classically then a wooden veranda or pergola may be the way to go and you may want to consider tiling the roof of the veranda with the same type of tiles you have on your main roof, so everything ties in neatly. Wrought iron and glass verandas can also look classic in their style, appearing almost Victorian, and if you have dark framed windows or other ironwork in your garden or home, this style of veranda could work nicely. Metal and glass verandas would better suit contemporary tastes, and if you don't want the normal pitched roof style, look at flat roofs and verandas and pergolas in unique shapes and designs. You can choose to have either a supported veranda with posts, similar to a pergola structure, or a cantilever veranda that protrudes from a wall of your house without support via posts to the ground. Obviously if you want more space under your veranda then a cantilever veranda is the way to go, but the look of cantilevers is not always to everyone's taste. Otherwise you may only need posts at each end that won't have to be large and in the way if you need the room.

How do I choose a new porch?

Think about what you want from your porch – if, for example, your front door opens straight into your living room, you may want the added privacy of an enclosed porch rather than a portico-style covering. Appearance is, of course, all-important; the front of your house, after all, creates the first impression of your home. uPVC porches are great for insulation, but they may not look as good aesthetically. It’s important that your porch design fits in with that of your house, so keep brickwork and materials similar or complementary. Front doors provide a wonderful opportunity for dressing your house – embrace colour and gloss, and add attractive embellishments with door knockers, letter boxes and wall lights. But don’t just take our word for it; take a look around for inspiration. Once you’ve decided which type and material of porch or portico would suit your house – whether it’s a brick, glass or an oak porch, you can now focus on the design and have a look at some great porch ideas from other Houzz users. Find images of traditional wooden porches that give a warmly welcome, large glass porch extensions that dramatically change home exteriors, and pictures of stone front porches and porticos.

Will I need planning permission for my rustic veranda, pergola, porch or portico?

Usually verandas will need planning permission as they are not classed as permitted development under Class A, but there are exceptions, so check with your local planning authority first. Provided that your porch or portico follows the stipulated guidelines, it will be exempt from planning permission and building regulation approvals. Ensure that the external floor area of the porch is within three square metres and that its height does not exceed three metres. Finally, the furthest edge of the porch should not go beyond two metres of any boundary of the house and the road. If the porch or portico you want is bigger than these dimensions, make your life easier by employing a builder or porch specialist who will handle the planning and building regulations for you. Pergolas, as garden structure, also do not need planning permission as long as they adhere to standard regulations, but again, check online or with a professional before building one.
