Making a Screened Porch Home
What is a screened porch but an extension of your home and a connection to the great outdoors? It is an extra room in your house that relies on its own heating and cooling systems but has mesh screen windows to protect you from insects. A screened porch can be luxuriant with a vaulted ceiling, exceptional building materials, and interior furnishings.
At the end of the day, this home addition should be whatever suits your lifestyle best. It should work for you; there is no one-size-fits-all answer to how to use a screened-in porch. However, you can gain inspiration from several popular ideas:
- Outdoor dining room
- Outdoor living space
- Combination of the above
- Theater room
- Workspace
- Hobby room
- Playroom
Screened Porches: What Are They Good For?
Screened porches are great for people who want to enjoy the outdoors without the harshness of the weather. You can have some level of temperature control with ceiling fans, portable HVAC units, patio heaters, and outdoor fireplaces.
The solid roof overhead gives you the shelter you need from the hot sun and pouring rain all day, every day. Best yet, the mesh screens protect you from pesky insects. You won’t have to step outside and brace yourself for dozens of bites or insects flocking to your dining table.
Is a Screened Porch Right for You?
A screened porch should not block traffic flow outside nor significant sunlight into your home. Some screened porches are freestanding, completely unconnected to the house. If you think a screened porch would fit well into your property, contact Freedom to figure out the cost today!
