Porch Ireland/UK Vs Porch USA
 

I had a sudden realisation over the weekend that Porches in Ireland & The UK and Porches in America are completely different. We have such a thing as an American Porch but we call it a veranda but I don't think I've ever seen an Irish/British style "porch" on an American house, do they exist there? :think:

it's a weather thing, they tend to have open outdoor areas, we need shelter from the rain :laugh:

But what about in states that get bad weather though?

I have often wondered by we dont adopt American style porches here, as it would be perfect for sitting in the rain when it is warm :laugh: and people love decking.... but not with a roof????

I love them, I want one with a rocking chair on it :laugh:

when i lived abroad i had a pagoda on one end of the balcony, which is nearly the same idea
