  1. Correct me if I’m wrong here, but I believe you are conflating porches and patios when they are completely different. Many, if not most of the pictures illustrated here where the word “porch” is used are actually photos of patios. A porch is *typically* located at the front of the house, where a patio is *typically* located at the rear of the home, or in the back yard. They’re both similar, but completely different. Like apples and oranges.
    My comment is not intended to be mean in any way, I’m just trying to put an end to the conflation of these two words and many, many, others that I see quite often,
