Most of us don’t get to the beach as often during the winter months. Still, living in Florida certainly allows us to have outdoor family time while most of the country huddles inside until spring. Enclosing your family’s outdoor space gives you an even better advantage due to the many benefits they offer.
Are you curious to know what they are?
Private matters
The number one reason homeowners install screen enclosures around the pool or another outdoor living space is the added level of privacy they provide. In fact, some admit that had they realized how greatly it would enhance their ability to rest and relax, they would have done it sooner! Even though screen enclosures don’t provide total privacy, the illusion of such is enough to promote an increased sense of well-being. You can better focus on what’s happening in your immediate surroundings—even if it’s nothing!
Neighbors are great but sometimes it’s nice to feel completely secluded from everyone. Tucked away in your enclosure, the sights and sounds of the neighborhood tend to drift into the background. Screen enclosures create the perfect ambiance for relaxation. They also shield your family from the prying eyes of others when you’re hosting a private party or family gathering.
Take things even further
If you’re considering creating a backyard getaway spot to provide the seclusion that you’re seeking, you need to know that some companies offer to customize the screens. That means you can easily create the getaway of your dreams! You’re sure to find images that appeal to your senses, and believe us when we say, you will feel those sensations every time you step through the doorway.
The images are printed directly onto the screens using dyes treated with the latest type of UV protection meaning that your scenes remain vibrant for years. Once you’ve added the finishing touches to your design with furniture and other decor, you will have created a space your family may quickly deem their favorite spot making outdoor family time a daily occurrence!
Bugs aren’t an issue
Screen enclosures keep all manner of bugs and insects—noseeums included—outside your enclosure because they won’t fit through the finely woven screen.
Imagine enjoying a meal outdoors with family and friends without being barraged by a horde of flies! If you enclose the pool area, night swims are bound to become more popular because the mosquitoes won’t be able to dive-bomb swimmers as soon as they surface. Moreover, no one has to wander through a cloud of bug spray and citronella fumes! Outdoor family time takes on a new meaning when it’s bug-free!
A level of UV protection
The sun isn’t as intense over the winter, but UV protection is always important. As the rays pass through the mesh screens, they become less intense. That means you won’t need to apply sunscreen as often. Moreover, your outdoor furniture and other decor won’t suffer sun fade as quickly.
That’s another big plus in today’s economy.
Creature comfort too
Florida is home to numerous varieties of snakes and lizards who have no qualms about mosying up to the house to find a place to hide away. If you’ve ever been surprised to discover a snake curled up under a throw pillow or slithering across the lanai floor, you know it can be downright terrifying—especially if your kids are the ones to find it!
After your enclosure is up, unwanted guests are bound to the yard instead of coming near the house looking for a new home. Moreover, a pool enclosure saves you the unpleasant task of fishing out any wildlife that made its way into the pool only to perish before succumbing to exhaustion. That’s something you won’t miss having to handle for sure.
Safety features included
It’s horrifying to hear your child shriek when they find a snake hiding away. It’s even more horrifying to be momentarily distracted and let your youngster wander out of sight. Screen enclosures provide you with a space where small children can play while getting some fresh air and sunshine. More importantly, they have a specific area to play in.
You can plan to sit and read for a while or make your to-do list—especially important this time of year—without worrying about losing track of anyone. Your pets won’t be able to wander away either.
Outdoor family time equals prime time
Your new screen enclosure is a great place to enjoy time with family. Your friends will love the space too! You’ll enjoy a heightened sense of privacy which increases your ability to rest and block out the hustle and bustle going on in the neighborhood around you.
Choosing to customize your screens allows you to create a truly incredible space that completely transforms your environment. We print the images directly onto the screens with dyes treated with added UV protection.
Bugs will never be a nuisance whether you’re hanging out by the pool or trying to enjoy a meal outdoors. Moreover, your screen enclosure creates a boundary that keeps wildlife from coming close to the house. Your family gains some protection from dangerous UV rays and your stuff won’t fade as quickly either. Lastly, your enclosure provides a safe space for children or pets to play without worrying they will wander away from the area.
Outdoor family time can become an event that everyone looks forward to getting on the calendar regularly. Time moves quickly—soak up those precious moments every chance you get. You won’t ever regret it.
