Enjoy Nature Without the Nuisances

While the outdoors is a fantastic place full of life, wonder, and more, it has many aspects that deter individuals from truly enjoying nature. Screened porches are fantastic additions for the summertime because they offer a shield from the glare of direct sunlight; they keep bugs and other animals out from the area of enjoyment; they protect the space from certain pollens, dusts, and debris; they reduce the immediate effects of weather within the space; they keep children’s and animal’s toys either within or outside of the confines of the space (whichever is intended). Ultimately, screened porches are the perfect addition to any home, especially in the summertime, because all of the traditional nuisances that deter individuals from enjoying nature cease to exist with a screened porch.

Increase Outdoor Privacy

A common complaint from homeowners in suburban and urban areas is the lack of privacy felt in their own yards. Screened porches are the perfect solution for this issue, too, as some darker screens still allow homeowners to enjoy the scenic nature views, while also providing an additional layer of privacy. Whether you’re seeking more privacy in the front of your home or the back of your home, a screened porch addition is the ideal way to reduce some of the visibility others have of you, without limiting the visibility you have of the natural surroundings. This increase in privacy also still encourages the healthy ventilation that was present before the screens, so there’s no concern with fresh air either!

More Entertainment Space & Opportunities

If you’ve been looking for an addition to your home that adds value to your house while also adding more space to host, then a screened porch is your go-to. Screened porches offer the perfect space to host small get-togethers of friends and family in the summertime. Whether your screened porch gets decked-out with an outdoor television and fireplace, or remains cozy with a simple seating arrangement and some board games, this becomes the ideal spot to entertain.
