Front Porch Ideas and More: This outdoor two-sided clock (with small thermometer) hangs on our front porch column. We love the quirky personality it brings to the corner of our porch. A wonderful conversation starter and functional as well. One of the most favorite items in our front porch decorating. Reminds me of a clock in a train station. We have instructions on our website on how we hung our clock. It has held up to wind gusts very well.
