Sitting outside on your porch trying to enjoy the breeze can be frustrating if you’re surrounded by pests.  Just imagine outside reading your morning paper or reading a book when you feel a sudden pain down on your arm.  That’s a common experience for those that have a porch without being screened in. It would also be pretty gross to enjoy a meal outside on your patio along with the flies that land on your chicken.  That’s not an enjoyable way to eat a meal. When you add a screen to your porch, you are getting protection from insects and bugs along with many other benefits. There are lots of benefits of a Screened In Porch depending on how you enjoy your new space.  

Pest Free Environment

Who wants to get bitten by mosquitoes or enjoy the West Nile virus they carry? Yea I didn’t think so.  There are lots of other insects and bugs that you may not want around either from flies, spiders, or any other pest or animal you don’t want intruding in your relaxation station or family time.  Outdoors doesn’t have to be stressful running from mosquitoes. You don’t have to be harassed anymore so long as you have a barrier to prevent them from coming into your area.

Safe Space

A screened-in porch is a safe area for children to play in.  They are still exposed to the outdoors but protected from the sun, rain, and pests.  You don’t have to slather your child in sunscreen anymore. You don’t need to worry about serious sunburns.  Your kids are safe in this enclosed space while still enjoying mother nature.

Increased Value

It’s no doubt that adding a renovation like a screened-in porch will increase the value of your property.  When you have a homebuyer viewing your property, this adds curb appeal and an extra space their family can enjoy without the consequences of outdoor elements.  

Family Time

This room can be a great space to enjoy bonding time with family.  You can have quality time, play games, enjoy meals and enjoy plenty of time together in this special area.

Entertainment

A porch with a screen is an excellent place for that special get together, family barbecue, poker game, or neighbor get together.  You can have amazing outdoor events with this type of porch without those critters. You don’t have to cover everyone in chemicals to prevent bug bites.  That residual sticky sensation after the spray is reason enough to remain indoors. That problem is solved completely with a screen room.

Peaceful

Who says you always have to have a party or the kiddos playing in this room, it can be a bird-watching sanctuary or a place where you meditate.  You can achieve such inner peace with a screened-in porch. You can perform yoga poses while being outside and become one with mother nature without the rain, sun exposure, and bugs.  Reading a book while kicking your legs up sounds absolutely amazing to me!

If you are in the market for a screened-in porch, you will see there are only reasons to get a screen added onto your porch.  It provides the ability to relax, entertain, live bug-free, increase the value of your home, and years of memories made with your family and friends in that gorgeous screened-in porch.
