Episode 92 – Porch and Patio: Designing Outdoor Spaces That Last in Coastal Georgia
In Episode 92 of the Get ’N Your Business Podcast, host Alison Shores from the Camden County Chamber of Commerce sits down with Sissy Blanchard & Becky Derrick from Porch and Patio to talk about what it really takes to create outdoor spaces that hold up in Southeast Georgia’s coastal climate.
With heat, humidity, salt air, and intense sun, outdoor furniture in coastal areas has to be built differently. In this episode, the Porch and Patio team shares expert insight on the materials, design choices, and products that actually perform well in Camden County and surrounding communities.
Porch and Patio has served the region for more than 20 years, helping homeowners design beautiful outdoor spaces for porches, patios, decks, and pool areas. Their Kingsland showroom features a wide selection of outdoor furniture, umbrellas, fire tables, rugs, and accessories designed specifically for coastal environments.
During the conversation, Alison asked Sissy & Becky about choosing the right materials to the surprising challenges couples face when trying to pick out furniture together — sometimes joking that the process can feel a little like marriage counseling.
They also talk about the importance of supporting locally owned businesses, the growth happening across Camden County, and why customers often travel from surrounding counties and even Florida to shop their showroom.
Whether you're building a new home, upgrading your backyard, or simply looking for furniture that will last longer than one season, this episode offers helpful insight into designing an outdoor space you'll enjoy for years to come.
