Excerpts from Our Guest, Gregory TatschRegarding Steps: "We've got main steps to the front door and around at the side because oftentimes we come out of the kitchen door, which is on the side porch, and then walk down those steps to go out in the side yard. You don't want to have to go all the way around the porch to get where you going when a simple set of steps can alleviate the problem".
On Planning: "I want to talk about the importance of creating an actual floor plan. I am talking
about doing it on paper and proceeding logically. Plan ahead and your results
are going to be so much better. And we really like to think that the planning is part of the fun
of it. It is the dreaming process that can be really enjoyed. It doesn't have to be a chore".
Porch Post Placement: "But from a visual stand point, we like to see a porch with posts no more than maybe about eight feet apart. If there is this huge big tall ceiling porch then perhaps 10 feet might be appropriate. And you can go as close visually as about five feet. We have a lot of example photographs on our website of posts that are spaced really close and that can be very effective too". Be sure to also listen to Part I of our interview with Gregory who shares some extremely important front porch design tips we know you'll enjoy. And as an added treat, we know you will also enjoy Gregory's discussion about decorative porch parts. Listen to the Program: 00:31:06 We hope you will listen as that will allow us to keep bringing you more programs from experts in the porch industry. Thank you!
