Outdoor Patio Enclosures

By ady | Oct 12, 2008

With a outdoor patio enclosure your are essentially adding an extra room to the house.  For example, a screened in patio enclosure allows you a space to enjoy the fresh outdoor air with the protection from mosquitoes and other insects.

Most people love their outdoor patios and would never trade them away for anything else. Others however may decide they want to use their patio in inclement weather to add more floor space to their existing home.

Outdoor patio enclosures are not only screens but glass could be used also.  This would create a wonderful sun room.  In the winter months, with the sun shining through the glass, the solar energy could make this space the warmest area in the home without using any electrical or gas energy.

An outdoor patio enclosure is an easy way to add that extra den or bonus room to your home.  If your existing patio has a cement slab currently in place and a sturdy patio cover or roof, you would only have to add the walls and windows.

These added outdoor patio enclosures are cool in the summer and warm in the winter.  This room would quickly become the favorite place in the home.  The screened in patio, with its large screened window openings is cool and breezy.  You can purchase glass windows to fit these openings creating a warm space in the winter.

Homeowners who want the look and feel of an outdoor patio may choose open wall outdoor patio enclosures design that provides overhead protection only, leaving three sides of the patio open to the elements, having no plans, or desire to use it during the dead of winter.

Add That Needed Extra Room in a Day

If a family already has a patio, they may decide to convert it into a play room, or a changing room for their swimming pool and use outdoor patio enclosures to seal the deal. A word of caution with outdoor patio enclosures however, is to make sure there is enough of a foundation and support for walls and a roof before starting the job.

These outdoor rooms are significantly more cost effective and easier to install, and cause less mess than construction of ordinary room additions. This type of room addition also takes much less time to construct. Again, you’ll save money on heating and cooling costs and get to enjoy outdoor living indoors all year long.

Be sure to consider the addition of electrical and plumbing in your outdoor patio enclosures.  Your existing patio may already have outlets for an electrical source.  Get advice from an electrician or plumber if doing it yourself.
