Unique Outdoor Patio Enclosures

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.

The enclosed patio space is a great place for a ping-pong table.  It is also a secluded and comfortable space for reading in the fresh air.  Being enclosed and protected from the elements a patio ceiling fan could be added for additional comfort.

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.

Outdoor patio enclosures are a cost effective way of adding a room to the home.  In most cases, the foundation for this room would already be there if there was an existing cement patio floor.  There may also be a patio roof already in place requiring the addition of just a few studs with screen or glass in between.

However, there are outdoor patio enclosures that can function as both without a lot of headache. With large, opening windows that can be closed in bad weather and opened during the summer, they can have the best of both worlds.

There are some many variations in outdoor patio enclosures.  They can be elegant or simple.  They can be permanent or removable. There are screen enclosures, plexiglass, and glass enclosures.  You can purchase structures that you can install in a day. They can be mounted on your existing deck or patio without costly site prep.

Does Your Family Need Another Room?

Outdoor patio enclosures are much more than just room additions. They provide a sanctuary for you and your family. The combination of natural light and comfort ensures that this new room will be the most used room in your home.  Sunrooms are significantly more cost effective, easier to install, and cause less mess than construction of ordinary room additions; not to mention take much less time to construct. You'll save money on heating and cooling costs and get to enjoy outdoor living indoors all year long in your spectacular Four Seasons Sunroom.

Construction of outdoor patio enclosures is less expensive and easy.  The major consideration would be that the roof is properly supported on a solid foundation.  To dress up a cement slab foundation you can add flooring made of tile, brick or pavers.

One of the usual steps when installing outdoor patio enclosures is the inclusion of electricity or plumbing, since it does not make sense to have an added room in the home use and use it like an old log cabin. When performing these upgrades most states require the services of a licensed electrician, which is a good idea to prevent possible fires to the new outdoor patio enclosures.
