My first posted project – a porch for SWMBO. Simple construction using 8×8 uprights and M&T joints. The Skirt is reclaimed scaffolding boards. As the porch sits on flagstones the whole thing sits on “plastic timber” pads to guard against wet rot (this is the UK) and finished with outdoor stain/preservative. In the fulness of time a chest will appear for large post and/or wet boots.
Merry Christmas

Something I do here in Florida for end grain that contacts the ground, like adirondack chairs, is epoxy the bottom. Just an extra level of protection. Nice work though!! Great improvement!
