Add an outdoor fireplace to your new San Antonio screened in porch or open porch design and snuggle in for pumpkin spice season.
Open and screened in porches in San Antonio are popular for their lifestyle appeal. Is it an indoor room? An outdoor room? Actually, our custom San Antonio porches are a bit of both. There’s something luxurious and useful about Archadeck porch designs, which offer our clients and their guests truly flexible spaces that not only extend their home’s footprint but also provide an improved outdoor lifestyle. And this time of year, we would be remiss not to address how much an outdoor fireplace can make your new porch the most popular room of your home.

Fall is an Ideal Time for a Hill Country Porch Upgrade
Autumn is more than pumpkin patches and football games. It’s also a fantastic time to get your new outdoor living project with Archadeck underway. As temperatures become milder, construction crews work more comfortably. Plus, your new porch can be ready by the holiday season.

Imagine the opportunity to welcome friends and family to a porch that feels like an extension of your home. With an ambient fireplace in the background, your holiday gatherings will feel warmer, cozier, and more memorable than ever. Fall sets the stage for creating your ideal outdoor space.
Open Porches: Crisp Air, Beautiful Views, and Fireplace Warmth
If you love fresh autumn air and unobstructed views of the Hill Country landscape, an open porch could be your perfect choice. During the fall season, open porches allow you to fully enjoy the crisp air while watching the seasons subtly shift.

Adding an outdoor fireplace to your open porch enhances both function and style. What’s more, it can extend your outdoor living season into cooler evenings, offering cool weather entertaining opportunities with warm drinks beneath the stars. And with design options from modern to rustic, outdoor fireplaces become the centerpiece of your outdoor living space.
Hill Country Screened in Porches: Comfy-Cozy Minus the Bugs
For Hill Country homeowners that prefer a little extra protection from the outdoor environment, screened-in porches deliver the best of both worlds. You get fresh breezes and many fewer pest encounters. Imagine yourself wrapped in a blanket, sipping spiced cider by the glow of a porch fireplace with out as many fall pest invasions.

A screened in porch is also incredibly versatile! Imagine a private reading nook, meditation space, a spot for family game nights, or even an outdoor dining room. With an outdoor fireplace, your screened in porch will be warm and welcoming outside of extremely cold temperatures. Enjoy a cool October evening or perhaps a brisk January morning, coffee or tea in-hand.
Designing the Perfect Porch Fireplace
Every Archadeck porch is unique, and so is every outdoor fireplace we design. Our Design Consultants tailor our fireplaces to match each home’s architectural, as well as your personal style. Some of your options are:

- Rustic fireplaces: Add a natural or cultural stone fireplace for Hill Country charm.
- Sleek and modern fireplaces: Contemporary homes and porches can be matched with a sleek fireplace design.
- TV mounts: Most clients love to hang televisions above their fireplaces. We’ll provide all the necessary hook-ups for outdoor TV viewing with your family and friends.
- Traditional hearths: Your outdoor fireplace can have a timeless, classic aesthetic just like indoor fireplaces.
