This spring I am tearing out and rebuilding my front steps. I am basically building what you see in the picture below, except it will be uncovered. I am not building the portico to go with it.
I was taking a walk through the village where I live and all the older homes with porches have tongue and groove flooring and I found this website that I believe does a good job describing the installation process:
Installing Tongue-and-Groove Porch Flooring (http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/decks/oldporch/flooring/t_groove.htm)
However, I have only seen tongue and groove flooring with covered porches. This makes sense to me because the porch is mostly protected from the elements.
If my entryway is not covered, will tongue and groove flooring still work for me or should I stick with pressure treated decking boards? Do they make pressure treated tongue and groove boards?
