I posted on the porch forum a while back but didn't get much of a response. We are building a traditional style brick house with a front porch running the pretty much the width of the house. I can't figure out what floor to use on the porch. I believe that we're going to do stained beadboard on the ceiling and wondered if something like ipe decking would be too much wood/dark color. Right now, the builder has concrete in the bid.
