Advice on painting/staining front porch
We are building a 2 story front porch onto the fron of our colonial
home. The reason it is 2 stories is because it has a walkout basement in the front. The original owners never built a porch, or even a set of stairs to get up to the door at the main level of the house. The porch will have a roof over it, like your typical farmers porch, and the roof will be cornered at the ends, instead of straight across. The porch is being built out of pressure treated wood. We live in Vermont, so tongue & groove decking was pretty much out of the question. I would like to paint the wooden columns and probably the railings, but leave the flooring (which is 5/4 inch I believe) wood colored. I was thinking of staining the flooring so it would be a cherry color. Any thoughts or advice? I've heard paining the floor is a pain and will make it slippery. I would rather just stain it if that is a good option. What are some products I should look into? My fiance is building the porch, so I get the job of painting/staining it when its finished. Thanks a bunch. Kristen |
