Enclosed Patios

Enclosed patios can protect you from inclement weather and provide you with extra living space. It won't matter whether the sun is beating down, or whether it is drizzling, enclosing your patio will allow you to enjoy this space more often, more like a sunroom. This could be a great place for a table tennis table, or to provide a secluded area for reading.

The cost of enclosing your patio will depend on which structures are already in place. If you already have the foundation and even a patio cover, all you will need are walls and/or windows.

One way people achieve enclosed patios is to enclose the patio with glass windows, turning it into a sunroom. This sort of space would be naturally solar heated in winter, inexpensively providing warmth to nearby rooms.

An alternative to windows is to install screens. This way, natural light can come through the screens and you can see outside. Screens also allow humidity and air to pass through, keeping the patio well ventilated.

Construction is usually quick and easy, with minimal disruption to household activity. Permits and design fees may not be necessary, but you would need to check this with local building authorities.

A great solution to your space problems, could be an enclosed patio.
