Screened Porch

Archadeck Takes This Warner Robins Outdoor Living Space Beyond Builder Grade

As the summer of 2021 draws to a gentle close, the approaching fall season is one that many of our clients love. The days of being concerned about high outdoor temperatures and sometimes scorching heat are being replaced with cherished moments of outdoor refreshment with temperatures often in the high 60s and 70s – especially in the early morning with outdoor coffee or after dinner when the kids are finally down for the evening.

Priding ourselves in being the preferred and premier deck and porch builder of the Central Georgia area, Archadeck welcomes inquiries from families that want to more truly enjoy their backyards, but need our creative design and planning help to do just that.

Take, for example, this virtually barren backyard with a small builder-grade concrete patio. It barely accommodated a seating area and patio table and chairs – with absolutely no protection from outdoor elements. Not liking that situation, our latest Archadeck of Central Georgia client reached out to us for our outdoor living expertise.

WITH OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES, SIZE DEFINITELY MATTERS – THE BIGGER THE BETTER

“How do you envision using your backyard in the future? What’s your wish list?,’” we asked our Feagin Mill family members. “We’d love a large screened porch, but this concrete pad is just way too small, and that’s just for starters,” they replied.

So putting pen to paper, our outdoor living consultation professional started to map out an idea that would increase the square footage of that existing concrete pad significantly. We showed them how adding more structurally sound concrete behind the house would be the first step in our screened porch builder solution, keeping their original slab as a starting point.

To accommodate their desired screened porch request, shortly thereafter we arrived with a cement truck to generously expand the footprint of what would soon become the foundation of a magnificent screened porch – complete with a stunning fire feature.

Before the concrete pour, we installed the proper footings to support the outdoor living space structure – along with steel rebar and other critical reinforcements.

To ensure that the slope of the home rear exterior was taken into consideration for this critical first step of the screened porch build, the cement was poured in both the front and into all sides of the new foundation area to accommodate the grade of the backyard.

After the slab patio and screened porch floor was built out, our next step was to install an aluminum wall system to provide sturdy structural support and integrity.

To make sure that this new outdoor living space would be all that it could be, next came the installation of the screening material, surrounding the entire front and sides of the exterior structure. In doing so, we eliminated the entrance of insects, pollen and other seasonal debris from violating this new space.

To finish the screened porch, we added vinyl siding inside and out, along with a knee wall all the way around the perimeter of the porch. And to protect from unwanted elements from above, we built a hip roof attachment tying into the home’s existing roof for a seamless transition. By doing so, it now looks like this screened porch was always there – from day one. We even installed new gutters to facilitate the flow of falling rainwater away from the screened porch sides.

To beautify the interior of this new outdoor living room, this screened porch custom builder integrated Dutch quality stacked stone in the color of Arizona to surround and complement the new electric fireplace.

This Warner Robins screened porch takes poolside enjoyment from fun to functional for these homeowners

This poolside screened porch in Warner Robins adds more fun and functionality to this backyard!

When Archadeck of Central GA met with these Warner Robins, GA homeowners they were in the process of planning for a backyard pool. With their new backyard addition in mind, the homeowners realized that the existing deck adjoining their home was not going to be adequate in providing a spot to aid in utilizing the new pool. The family realized they were missing a shaded area near the house where they could cool off on those balmy Georgia afternoons while enjoying the pool. As discussed during our initial consultation, the homeowners were on the fence about choosing a pergola, for its shade and aesthetic benefits, or a screened porch. This family soon realized a screened porch addition would make the most sense for their particular situation. The homeowners also realized they desired an area that was bug free where they could dine outdoors in comfort and watch the kids playing in the pool without burning up.

The screened porch interior provides a cozy and inviting spot for the homeowners to observe their kids playing, and endless outdoor living possibilities.

Once the homeowners made the decision to move forward with a screened porch addition, we then began to scrutinize how big the porch should be. The final dimensions of the space come out 14 foot which allows plenty of space to hide the pool pump behind the porch. Since we were at the residence the same time as the pool company, we were able to coordinate our project with that of the pool addition. Archadeck of Central GA ended up finishing the screened porch at nearly the same time as the pool was completed. This resulted in the family only having to endure one construction, minimally disrupting the turf and their lifestyle. We always strive to work in unison with your landscaper and your pool or spa installer to ensure every detail is accounted for and to help better facilitate each phase of your project to minimize the impact of having two separate projects at various times.

The screened porch is built from pressure-treated pine and features a diagonal floor which adds visual interest. Archadeck of Central GA decided a roof tie-in design would work best since the addition had to be tied into the fireplace. The ridge beam flows into the existing chimney which required special engineering. Most builders would not have taken on this project because of the structural engineering and planning required to make the design cohesive- for us it is just another day at the office!  The porch interior features a rustic open rafter design that adds loads of charm. We also installed two ceiling fans on the interior of the porch instead of one to ensure proper ventilation.

In addition to the porch addition, these Warner Robins homeowners also wanted a gravel stepping stone pathway that led from the pool to the door. They also wanted to avoid a landing which would block the view from inside the kitchen. So we designed the stairs to lead into the porch without a landing and special ordered an in swing door to add more space and provide better traffic flow in and out of the porch. Very few companies make in swing doors, being a rarity; they are custom made as a special order item.

The homeowners are elated with their new poolside outdoor living space. Not only do they have the perfect spot to add enjoyment to their new backyard pool, they also have a space that will keep providing enjoyment far after the pool is closed!
