Porch, Deck and Patio CAD Blocks

Seven porch, deck and patio CAD blocks: a 36x24in gas grill with its lid, grate and control panel, a 48in porch swing and a 26in rocking chair both drawn with their travel dashed so the floor they need in motion is the published footprint rather than the seat's own size, a 30x34in sling-frame lounge chair, raised planters in round and square at 24in, and a 4x3in hose bibb - the one fixture here that is plumbing rather than furniture, and the one thing on the porch that has to be coordinated with the wall behind it. Drawn in plan to scale in inches and free to download as DXF.

Hose Bibb

Residential Mechanical / Electrical - datum: wall-mount point on wall line - default footprint 4in x 3in

Hose Bibb - plan view CAD block
Hose Bibb - plan view, 4in x 3in

The exterior hose bibb, drawn on the outside face of a wall where a garden hose connects. It is a small block with a coordination job out of proportion to its size: it needs a supply line from inside, which is what gets missed when it is added to a site plan late and there is no wall behind it carrying water.

Sizing

4 x 3in as drawn, adjustable 3-6in wide and 2-5in deep. The size is the escutcheon and the spout, not the valve body inside the wall.

Drafting notes

The wall-mount point on the wall line is the datum, so the block sets on the exterior wall face and the spout projects off it. Keep it on the plumbing layer rather than the site layer even when it appears on a site plan, since the supply that serves it is a plumbing coordination item.

Drawn alongside

Drawn on the porch or patio wall alongside the outdoor furniture and the grill, and picked up on the plumbing plan where the supply line is routed.
