Is a screened enclosure right for your Maryland backyard?
Mesh screens can completely transform outdoor living spaces. With a roof overhead and mesh screen windows all around the area, you suddenly have an outdoor room that can offer even more comfort and functionality. You can find multiple types of screened enclosures, perhaps more than you are aware of.
Screened Porch
A screened porch is the classic screened enclosure. It can be attached to your home via the back door or freestanding in your yard or on your deck or patio. A screen room can have its own foundation or sit on an existing patio or deck. You can also screen in an existing porch. Screened porches can have separate heating and cooling systems to make them even homier.
Screened Pavilion
Did you know you can screen in other outdoor shade structures? Pavilions, also called pagodas, have solid roofs supported by four or more columns. A pavilion is popular on residential and public properties alike because of its access on all four sides, which makes it safer for large gatherings. However, screening in your pavilion is also possible.
Screened Gazebo
A gazebo is more intimate and enclosed, but it can vary greatly in size, making it suitable for larger or smaller parties. A gazebo can be a lovely place to have a meal, play games, work on a laptop, or just relax. Screening in the gazebo will not compromise any scenic views you have from the gazebo.
Benefits of Screened Enclosures
Now you are familiar with the major screened enclosures that exist in residential outdoor living design. How do you know if it is better to screen in or not? A good place to start is to know the benefits of screened enclosures.
Naturally, they will successfully keep out insects, which is great if you have bees, wasps, flies, and other critters in your backyard. Spending time outdoors is more enjoyable when you don’t have bugs swarming around you.
Screened enclosures also add a low level of privacy. They are excellent for creating a more private secondary backyard zone or a private primary outdoor living space in an exposed backyard.
A screened porch, pavilion, or gazebo will not block any scenery you have outside. You can still feel like you are outdoors and enjoy fresh outdoor air.
