Porch & Patio Ceiling

| I need some help deciding how to "finish" my back patio ceiling or lid. We are building a traditional 6" lap side house. We don't know what to do with our large 23 ft. X 50 ft. back patio ceiling or the 12 ft. X 50 ft. front porch ceiling. I don't really like Azek. There is no good way to butt the end pieces of any material. Has anyone used some type of Hardi? Anyone stucco'd just the exterior ceilings? Any suggestions at all? TIA, Andrea |

| If your home is traditional, consider a tongue & grove ceiling. The wood is generally pine and can either be stained/varnished or painted. For the "look" I'd go with the individal strips - about 3" x 1/2" in randon lengths. There are also 4' x 8' sheets but they scream plywood. |

| Thanks fnmroberts. That is what we thought too. The actual cost of the material is not bad but the labor is pretty expensive. I appreciate your help. Andrea |

I agree. Tongue and groove is the best looking in my opinion.

| I'm installing paint-grade t&g beadboard on a porch ceiling today. Comes in 16' strips, this is a narrower look so I'm using 1x4 versus 1x6. Goes up quickly. Very appropriate for msot porch ceilings. Just need to decide if you want paint or stain. Mongo |
