Porches are very interesting elements for gardens, even if they are attached together with the house. By providing shade, they not only allow us to have shade plants, but also we can rest on the sofa without the sun or anyone bothering us. As if that were not enough, we can decorate both the posts and the ceiling with climbing plants, such as Bougainvillea, Wisteria, Jasminum o Clematis.

Wood is a fairly resistant material that looks great in gardens, as it is very cozy. To make it last even longer, it is highly recommended that we give it a pass or two of wood oil once every 1 or 2 years.
