Tips to Winterize Your Screened Porch
Deep Clean First
You might want to add all the fall decorations right away, but it is best to start with a deep cleaning. Remove the furniture, vacuum and mop the floor, wipe down the windows and door, and dust the ceiling fan and other surfaces. Once everything is dry and clean, you’ll have a fresh, clean area to work with.
Add Clear Screens and/or Curtains
One of the best ways to winterize your screened porch, making it usable during chilly weather, is to insulate it. The structure is uninsulated, but you can add a little insulation by closing off the screen windows with clear vinyl panels that you can attach via velcro, magnets, etc. Outdoor curtains will add even more insulation and privacy.
Add a Rug and Blankets
Add even more comfort and warmth with the help of an outdoor-grade rug and some blankets for your outdoor furniture. An outdoor rug with a pile will be soft underfoot and insulate it from the cold hard floor. Blankets, of course, are there to keep you warm as you sit on the porch.
Consider Heating Systems
Heating systems make a huge difference on a porch. Overhead, floor, or tabletop patio heaters excel at warming up outdoor areas while keeping out of the way. Meanwhile, an outdoor fireplace or wood-burning stove provides warmth with the luxury of a real fire.
Decorate for Fall and Winter
At last, you can think about your fall and winter decorations. Celebrate the season with fall colors, using fabrics and decor to your advantage. Come winter, you can change it up again with your reds and greens and blues and whites.
