Why Porches and Decks Make Perfect Pairs

At Archadeck of Kansas City, we build more porch and deck combinations than porches or decks by themselves.

In times past, decks were the be-all and end-all outdoor living spaces. In their original iteration, decks were ultimately usable, simple to construct, and gave families a great space to gather outdoors. Used for sunning, outdoor dining, and myriad outdoor living purposes, decks are still a staple in outdoor living. But porches have given homeowners even more use of their outdoor spaces. When paired with a deck, our custom porches allow clients to have their cake and eat it too!

Open Porches and Decks

Sometimes referred to as covered decks, open porches and decks are winning outdoor living combinations. By covering a portion of any outdoor living design, clients automatically get more use of their outdoor space. Homeowners love having the option to choose between a protected outdoor living area and one that is open to the elements. Deck roofs provide sun shade and rain protection, and offer more of an air of an outdoor living room. Often, covered porches and decks facilitate great amenities, such as outdoor fireplaces and TVs. This is not to say that you cannot have an outdoor TV or fireplace on your deck, but both are more functional and better protected beneath a roof.

Screened In Porches and Decks

The beauty of a screened porch, aside from design aesthetics, is the absence of pests, added privacy, and weather protection. Our clients revel in bringing the comforts of their indoor spaces out onto their screened-in porches, and enjoying them without the interruption of weather or pests. Screened porches are the most sought-after outdoor living spaces in the Kansas City market, and most of our screened-in porches feature at least a small attached deck for grilling. Some of our screened porch and deck combinations feature full-scale living spaces in each area. You might see a screened porch serve as an outdoor TV room and dining area, while the deck includes enough space for grilling and a second seating or dining area.
