The right patio enclosure makes all the difference.
Are you looking to make your patio more comfortable in Maryland? Our state enjoys balmy weather, warmer than up north but more temperate than the south. Our subtropical climate is the best. However, it’s also nice to get out of the hot sun and get to be outside even when it’s raining. A patio enclosure can help you do that, and in central Maryland, you will be able to get a lot of use out of it. These three patio enclosure ideas can help get you started.
1. A Pergola with Curtains
A simple way to enclose a patio is to add a pergola large enough to enclose part or all of the patio. A pergola is a great way to add filtered shade and define outdoor living zones. You can enclose the area further by adding clear solid panels to the roof and installing outdoor curtains around its perimeter. Add lighting like string lights or sconces to make it usable in the evenings.
2. A Screen Room
A screen room is a version of a screened porch. It can be attached to or detached from your home, just as a patio can be. The beauty of a screen room is that it still lets in the breeze but keeps out the bugs, as you would know if you have ever been in or seen a screened porch. It also maintains the view of your backyard, unlike a pergola with outdoor curtains.
3. A Sunroom/Three-Season Room
A similar patio enclosure idea is the sunroom, also called a three-season room. A sunroom has solid windows made of glass or vinyl that wrap around the enclosure. It is uninsulated, but you can include separate HVAC systems like ceiling fans, outdoor fireplaces, etc. When enclosing a patio, the patio floor can become the floor of your three-season room, which will look very attractive whether it’s brick, concrete, flagstone, or another material.
