Screened Porches - Enjoy Outside From the Inside

Do you have a patio sitting on the back of your house that just sits there? Do you like being outdoors but don't like the insects that share your space? Or maybe you would just like a quiet place to retreat, sip on a cool glass of lemonade or chardonnay and while listening to the birds sing or the crickets chirp. Well, maybe you should consider adding a screen porch on to your home.

Screen porches are a great way to enjoy the great outdoors without actually having to be outside. Screening in a porch or patio, creates a barrier against animals, insects, leaves and debris and other annoyances, while at the same time allowing you to be able to smell the fresh air, feel the cool breeze and hear the melodious sounds of nature.

Screen porches are not only a great way to enjoy being outside while really being inside, but they also add to the value and beauty of your home. Adding a screened porch to your home can add literally thousands of dollars to its worth.

The styles, shapes, and designs of screened porches are endless. They can range form simple little enclosures for every now and then retreats, to full blown, customized recreational family areas.

If you are thinking about adding on to your home and have thought about screening in a particular area, there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, really think about what the room's function will be. Is it just to serve as a quiet space for a few or will you want to use it as an entertaining space. You would rather plan ahead and screen in a bigger area to begin with than to regret having to small of an area later on.

Once you have decided the size of the area that you want screened in, you need to find a reputable company that can show you various styles and types, as well as let you see work they have already done and hear testimonials. This is to be a permanent addition to your home, so you need to make sure it is done right.

A screen porch can provide you with hours of rest, relaxation and family fun. With a screened porch, you can enjoy all the goodness of the great outdoors without ever having to go out of the house.
