Tall, sturdy steel posts support the porch roof, which features an open gable design with decorative queen truss details at open end of the gable. From this angle you can see the interior porch ceiling we built with handcrafted, prefinished tongue-and-groove ceiling boards from Synergy Wood, our favorite. For breezes on a still day, we installed a heavy-duty ceiling fan. Finally, lighting recessed in the ceiling above will increase the functionality of this porch at night.
