Do you love hanging out on your patio at the end of a long day? Have you thought about installing a screen? Screened porches are making a big comeback, which may have something to do with the growing love for the outdoors. Patio screens offer a perfect combination of indoor comforts with outdoor beauty. Here are a few reasons to join the ranks of happy homeowners who enjoy their patio all year.

Why You Should Get Your Patio Screened In

1. Keep the Bugs Out

The biggest drawback of warmer weather is the near-constant threat of mosquito bites. Bugs can turn a beautiful backyard sunset into a battleground. Patio screens keep out not only mosquitoes but many other insects and pests. Save money on bug spray and citronella candles, and enjoy your backyard no matter what day or season it is. 

2. Give Pets an Area

If your cat or dog loves sitting in the window watching the birds and neighbors, think how much happier they’ll be on a porch with a patio screen. Give your indoor cat the thrill of being outside without the risk and dangers. Your dog will have a shady place to rest where he’s safe from fleas and ticks, but can still feel the breeze. 

3. A Little More Privacy

While patio screens are technically see-through, there are many kinds of material to choose from that add privacy to your back porch while still allowing the air through. Many people also add curtains or shades to their porch design, letting them enjoy more of the night air or afternoon breeze without their neighbor’s prying eyes. Curtains have the added benefit of blocking cold wind or rain in the late autumn or early spring.
