If you’re looking for reasons to fit a mesh screen patio enclosure into your budget, you need to look no further because we’ve got three!
Actually, there are more than three. But we’re giving you the number one reason straight out of the box. Most homeowners choose to enclose their outdoor living areas due to the added sense of privacy they provide. Others actually report not realizing how life-changing an effect installing a mesh screen patio enclosure would have until after the fact.
If you’re tired of feeling as if you’re always on display or have a neighbor who is just a little too curious about what’s going on in your backyard, enclosing an area for privacy makes a world of difference. Moreover, this is a good place to mention that if you find a company that offers its customers a customization feature, you can take that last statement more literally. Are you wondering how?
Thanks to digital imagery and dyes beefed up with added UV protection, you can choose any image you’d like and have it printed directly onto your screens. The end result is pretty amazing. A little lighting and decor add to the ambiance and voila! You’ve got a private getaway spot just outside the door.
A lot rolled into one package
We told you we have three reasons for installing a mesh screen patio enclosure that can help sway your decision toward installing one. Before we reveal them, we want you to know that enclosing your outdoor space actually boosts your property value to some degree. However, we didn’t put that in the count because odds are you aren’t planning on moving any time soon. Still, it’s good to know, so there it is.
Dirt and debris flee
Well, not flee exactly. More so, your mesh screen patio enclosure keeps that stuff out in the yard where it belongs.
Imagine heading outdoors just after a storm passes and not having to do damage control before sitting down. Or, inviting friends over then realizing the patio is a mess and putting every available broom in someone’s hand. We know it happens. Has it happened to you?
Bugs? What bugs?
You may not have ever thought you’d hear that phrase connected with living life in the sunshine state! However, you might hear yourself uttering it one day after enclosing your patio or lanai.
Installers use a finely woven mesh screen that allows even the slightest breeze to flow through naturally, but if a bug—any bug, noseeums included—comes up against it, it’s the end of the road. Evenings spent outdoors are going to change drastically—for the better!
No surprises from uninvited guests
When you enclose your patio or lanai, you gain the advantage over unwanted guests—alligators breach the civilization barrier pretty regularly actually. Other creatures, such as spiders, snakes, lizards, and whatever else might care to wander toward your home, are staying out too. You’ll never risk having the experience of stepping out your door, only to jump back across the threshold again slamming it behind you because there was something out there that wasn’t supposed to be.
Your enclosure adds a measure of protection.
While we’re on the subject of safety, there’s a level of protection from the inside out too. If you have children or small pets, enclosing your outdoor space gives them a safe place to play. You can sit back and chat with a friend or scroll social media for a few minutes without worrying about losing track of them.
Moreover, pets can continue to nap in the sun without your risking them escaping if you run indoors to grab something.
Weighing the pros and cons
We’ve given you three reasons that prove having a mesh screen patio enclosure is beneficial for your family—and then some! They add value to your home, provide you with an element of privacy, hold bugs and debris at bay, and provide safety features.
We feel we should list the cons, but it’s really hard to think of any. If you come up with something, let us know, okay? If you shop around, you’re sure to find someone who will work with your budget. And the end result is going to leave you wondering why you didn’t act sooner.
Enclosing your outdoor living area adds an entirely new room to your home. If the space isn’t already the favorite hang-out spot, it will be soon after the job is complete. They’re a great space for family game nights, catching up on some reading, or dinner and a movie, maybe. Projectors these days are really affordable and provide hours of entertainment.
However you decide to spend your time, you’ll be doing it with the ones you love. We hope those memories last a lifetime!
