Exceptional Outdoor Living Combination Space In Green Hills
The Porch Company designs and builds a woodsy, warm screened porch.
Multiple dimensions and sightlines define this custom screened porch and dual deck combination outdoor living space located in Green Hills, TN.
The lower level of the new deck at far left is fashioned out of AZEK composite decking and features a large tabletop firepit surrounded by comfortable seating for 6 adults.
Look to the right and step up to the second level that features more seating for outdoor relaxation and conversation. A Big Green Egg combination grill and smoker stands ready for dinner duty.
Steps away, you enter a new screened porch that reflects the beauty of nature with its woodsy and warm hues of sage green and natural wood.
As for what’s entailed in this beautiful structure we used:
√ New siding
√ A new set of windows
√ And our team installed a new back wall at the far inside left of the screened porch to accommodate an oversized smart TV.
Due to the low sloped roof of the new structure, and its ridge beam, no rafter ties were used.
Custom Designed Screened Porch That Exudes Intimacy And Warmth
Once inside the new screened porch, a glance up showcases the rich and handsome hues of a real wood ceiling to complement the newly installed TV back wall.
As for the floor of this interior space, we installed an 1/8th inch thick hardscape veneer that resembles fine tile. This underfoot solution now provides durability and ease of maintenance for the homeowners.
With outdoor heaters installed on beams on the interior, ample comfort can be enjoyed when cooler days and evenings prevail. Also at night, handsome vertical post lights illuminate the space with a subtle glow, casting brightness in both directions.
Bonus Of Seasonal Storage Underneath It All
From the backyard landscape, the family can easily access protected storage via the two hinged carriage barn doors under the newly built TV wall.
Perfect for seasonal décor, outdoor furniture, pillows, cushions, and other leisure necessities, it is strategically out of sight, for folks to enjoy the double deck outdoors and the newly fashioned interior screened porch.

Adding A Screened Porch To Nashville Home With Tight Backyard Dimensions
How To Add A Screened Porch And Deck To Your Backyard Even If Your Lot Line Is Tight. The Porch Company Designs and Builds Porches Tight Spaces Through Innovation And Logical Thinking.
The Porch Company had a very tight space to work with in this Nashville backyard. Like many properties we work on within the Nashville area, this one features a stunning home built on a lot with a defined space to work in.
Before we brought this design to fruition, the home originally had a deck attached to an existing sunroom. We started this outdoor living space transformation by replacing the existing deck with a new screened porch, and we added a new adjacent deck.
A Low-Maintenance Deck Sets The Stage For Outdoor Living Enjoyment
Starting with the new deck addition. In the spirit of less upkeep means more enjoyment, we used AZEK PVC decking for this portion of the new outdoor space. Combined with the multi-toned, variegated deck boards, we used our Hermitage post sleeves and caps for the railings.
Both the deck and the screened porch also feature solid board skirting with plenty of storage underneath for lawn care equipment, gardening supplies, outdoor furniture, and cushion storage off-season.
Natural Wood Balances With Tones Of White Create An Inviting Outdoor Room
Exiting the home and walking into the new screened porch, one is welcomed by tasteful comfort at every turn. At first glance, you can’t help but notice the marriage of form and function inside the white hip roof interior. Accented with natural wood beams that transcend the depth of the space, they add a subtle, sophisticated charm, reminiscent of the country.
To accentuate the decor of the interior floor, Thermory Ash flooring was selected for it’s warm feel under foot and complements the stained rafter ties.
On the rafter ties, Solaira heaters were installed to fill the space with cozy warmth whenever desired. The heaters provide just enough radiant heat to take the chill off a fall or early spring morning.
Upon entering the screened porch from the deck, you’ll notice our classic Sapele screened door – one of our signature design elements.
The door is an out-swing door, and whenever you have an out-swing door, you cannot have a step down at the door – therefore, the deck and the porch were built to the same level. Had the design scheme allowed for it, we usually prefer to have a step down, as it helps keep water from splattering on the door during a rain and keeps water from rolling back into the porch. But because of building codes, and limited space inside the porch, an out-swing door was the best option.
Elegance And Practicality Equal An Enviable Space
For added texture and tonal balance, the homeowner chose to add custom curtains to this space. In addition to being a beautiful visual accent, they can be drawn to cover the screened walls whenever required for sunshade or desired privacy.
The curtains also come in handy on weekend afternoons while the family is on their screened porch enjoying golf matches and football games on their TV. The custom-built TV cabinet, disguised as a wood sideboard, raises up for active watching, then lowers down and is completely hidden when not in use.
The unique TV cabinet would have taken up some precious floor space, so we created a nook for it by pushing the porch out a few feet in that one section.
This custom porch is warm and charming, despite the space limitations. The red brick tones of the house wall mix with the wood floor and stained beams for a thoughtfully decorated screened room.
