One of the worst things you can do for your wood porch, railings, beams, posts, eaves and fascia is to allow vines grow on them. Pictured here is a massive vine growing on a house.

Some people feel that vines growing on a house is charming and attractive, and it may be, but it isn’t practical or wise.
