Is it the backyard? Where you just go out your back door, and there is the yard?
I've heard that expression before, (maybe by you?) but I don't remember at all what it is! Is it a porch?
Second try here - my internet connection was really slow yesterday and I lost my comment - my first thought of what this term could mean was a porch/veranda, like something we would call a sundeck here. Maybe more like a front porch that is more open. Aunt Judy
Wade's guess is a kind of gate in a fence.
