Year-Round Outdoor Entertaining

The owners of this New Jersey home have created the ultimate space for year-round entertaining, and it all starts on their beautifully renovated covered porch.

From the moment you step outside, you can tell that every detail was carefully chosen to make this space both functional and inviting. In the summer, ceiling fans keep the air moving and guests comfortable. When the weather turns crisp, a stunning stone fireplace becomes the perfect gathering spot, keeping everyone warm and cozy.

Game day is a whole experience here, thanks to an outdoor TV and a kegerator ready to pour the perfect drink. There’s no shortage of seating either — friends and family can lounge on plush outdoor couches, perch on the stone walls, or pull up a stool at the bar.

One of the smartest features of this renovation is the ActivWall Gas Strut Window, which the homeowners installed to create a convenient pass-through and serving bar between the kitchen and the porch. Whether it’s chips and salsa for a crowd or a steaming mug of coffee on a quiet morning, this window makes serving a breeze.

For their space, the homeowners selected a 90″ wide by 39″ high ActivWall Gas Strut Window finished in a crisp white powder coat. It’s built with a raised saddle sill — one of six sill options available — and features thermally broken aluminum and insulated glass for maximum energy efficiency when closed.

When it’s time to entertain, a gentle push sends the window gliding up and out on sturdy struts, opening the space to the outdoors. When the gathering winds down, it closes just as easily from either side, with the optional ActivWall Pull Hook adding extra convenience.

Designed for both commercial and residential use, ActivWall products are custom-built to fit your unique space, so you can create your own year-round entertaining oasis.
