All You Need To Know Front Porches
WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING MY PORCH?

Start by thinking about how you intend to use it. An open porch generally consists of a roof installed onto the exterior of your property and offers shelter and a place for storing boots and logs, but little in the way of weather protection. A fully enclosed structure is a mini extension to the front of your property. It offers aesthetic impact and can be doubleglazed, insulated and heated to create an additional, functional space in your home. Insetting a porch within the footprint of the house is another idea, although this can impede on floor space. Before making your final decision, take proportions into account; a large enclosed design on a modest home will look out of place, for example.

I’M LIMITED ON OUTSIDE SPACE WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

Designed to sit neatly above a door, a canopy porch offers the simplest and most cost-effective alternative to a heavier-looking design. Garden Requisites has a smart selection of scoop and arch canopy designs with optional side supports, all made from durable galvanised solid steel, which can be adapted to accommodate architectural features, and are available in a range of sizes (including a made-to-measure service). Petite porches are also available if budget and space allows.
