The holiday season is often referred to as a magical time of year. That’s easily believable, isn’t it? It seems everywhere we look sparkles and shimmers with beautiful holiday decor. The atmosphere can’t help but lend to the joyful feelings associated with this time of year. And when the lights go on in the evening time—look out!
The glowing lights instantly transform any space into a magical wonderland. Decorating outdoors may be more enjoyable for us here in Florida. The warmer temperatures make for an easier time putting up the lights and decorations, for sure. Moreover, though, we’re also more apt to get out and spend time enjoying our beautiful displays. We can easily create the perfect outdoor spot for spending time with family and friends.
Where does your family hang out?
Does everyone gather on the front porch to discuss the day as you idly watch the neighborhood traffic drive past? Or is your spot out back? The patio, maybe, or perhaps sitting around the pool has grown into a habit—or tradition by now—covered or not. Wherever you love to hang out, the space can create magical memories decorated for the holidays.
If you’ve got an enclosed outdoor space, even better! Twinkling colored lights strung around the area will create that magical ambiance you’re looking for. Comfy furniture, wired for sound, and perhaps even a small water feature or two reflecting the colorful lights would add to the sense of magic. And the sound of trickling water in the background can be so relaxing. If hosting a holiday gathering, your guests may become transfixed by their surroundings. Moreover, you can almost bet that your family will be seeking out the spot on the regular as well.
No enclosure?
If you think about it for a moment, it could be a great family gift idea, couldn’t it? You’d be giving your family something they will utilize all year long. Mesh screen enclosures are less expensive than glass and afford you the benefit of allowing air to freely circulate throughout the space. This helps prevent mold and mildew from taking hold.
Mesh enclosures provide lots of benefits that easily justify the cost of installing one. Can we take a moment to share them with you?
Privacy
Once you realize the difference having an added sense of privacy makes, you could easily become one of the homeowners who say they would have enclosed their family’s outdoor space sooner had they known! That’s actually the number one reason that homeowners give when asked why they wanted to enclose their outdoor space.
You can take things a step further by working with a company that customizes their screens. Digital imagery coupled with dyes treated with ultraviolet (UV) protection allows you to create the perfect outdoor getaway. Granted, we wouldn’t suggest running with the Christmas theme, specifically, though. But if you really love the holidays—
We’re winking at you here… and trusting that you decide to go with a beach scene or your favorite tropical garden shots instead.
Blocks bugs
We know the fam already thinks you rock, but imagine how high that hero status will shoot if you make it so they never have to deal with a bug invasion again?
Serious question.
The mesh screens are finely woven which allows you to enjoy the benefits of free airflow, but bugs—noseeums included—aren’t getting through. Whether you’re enclosing the pool area or the lanai, being out at night without fear of being eaten alive by mosquitoes is something to herald!
No more unwanted guests
Enclosing your family’s outdoor area is going to keep you from being surprised by any unwanted visitors that stoll—or slither—into your yard. If you’ve ever experienced rearranging a cushion to be startled by a snake or discovered a creature in the pool that hadn’t been able to get out again, you understand what a plus that is going to be.
Provides some UV protection
While screen enclosures don’t block 100% of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, they do provide some degree of protection. And, around here, every little bit helps!
‘Nuff said.
Safety features too
If you have small children, you know how quickly they can get away from you if you don’t keep a vigilant eye. You know that time spent outdoors is good for them. However, it doesn’t allow you time to sit down for more than a minute it seems when the kids are small.
A screen enclosure will provide them with sunshine and fresh air in an enclosed area. They can sit and play while you sit and take some time to finish up that novel or scroll social media for a bit. You might be amazed at how refreshing for your spirit that time spent will be.
If you want to keep the littles out of the area, it’s as easy as flipping the lock on the door.
Taking holiday cheer into the new year
If you’ve decided that installing a mesh screen enclosure is the perfect family gift, it might be a little late to get on the schedule before this Christmas arrives. However, it certainly doesn’t hurt to try. If companies aren’t backlogged, you may have it made!
If not, you don’t have to wait for next year. Scheduling the job after the new year begins is still a fine option. You can begin to enjoy your new space as soon as it’s installed. And, if you let customer service know that it’s a gift for the fam, maybe they will make you up a certificate to wrap.
Either way that it rolls, though, have a Merry Christmas! And, if that enclosure goes up, we’re certain it’s going to be a great New Year!
