The pleasant spring weather will soon give way to the heat and glare of summer – which means it’s the perfect time to plan for upgrades that can make your home cooler and more comfortable. How about a screened-in porch, for instance? Here’s why you should consider adding one to your home.
1.Year-Round Outdoor Living
A deck and a screened-in porch both offer a space where you can enjoy the outdoors in relative comfort. But the latter has a slight edge to the former: it can be used not only in clear and warm weather, but in any season. Because you get to spend time outside while remaining protected from sun, rain or snow, a screened-in porch is a more functional home addition.
2.Multipurpose Space
A screened-in porch serves as an extension of your home and is incredibly versatile. It can be used, for example, as a new room for entertaining guests. You just need to put in a few comfortable chairs and a sturdy table, plus a few plants to liven up the space, and you’re all set. A screened-in porch can also function as an additional family room for an impromptu outdoor game night. Some homeowners even use it as a sleeping space.
3.Bug-Free Relaxation
Enjoying a cold drink during a summer afternoon is more enjoyable when you’re not getting bitten by mosquitoes or being landed on by flies. Bugs and insects are out in full-force during the summer months, so you might want to have a screened-in porch built before then. You have the advantage of fresh cooling breezes, but the screens will head off flying bugs and other pests so they don’t bother you and your family.
