Hyphenate wrap-around porch?

I do not know if it is correct to use a hyphen between the words wrap, and around, in describing a porch that wraps around a house.

Answer

The adjective “wraparound” does not have a hyphen in Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, in case you’re American, or Oxford English Dictionary (free citation through Lexico), in case you’re British, those two tomes being generally accepted as the standard for AmE an BrE, respectively.
