Wouldn't make much difference if I did, the glider is wood slats and the porch is concrete so nothing to clean up but change my pants. LOL

That's the way it was when we moved in. I did install the railing about 29 years ago. LOL

The back porch is the one that I built and made the floor of it out of composite. LOL

After I had the floor down I cut 3/8" foam backer rod to fill between the boards to stop the air movement and bugs from coming in.

We used Cross Timbers and got it at the lumber yard. The company was bought up by another composite manufacture.
