Outdoor patio enclosures are not seasonal additions to homes. When you build an outdoor patio enclosure outside of your home, you are creating additional living space that you can use all year round. The right outdoor patio enclosure design will enable you to stay warm in the wintertime and cool in the summertime.
Do you need some ideas on how to create the ideal design for your future outdoor patio enclosure? Below are the top four outdoor patio enclosure ideas for your consideration.
1) Sliding Vinyl Panels
Sliding vinyl panels are an affordable way to create a four-season porch enclosure attachment in the backyard. Many vinyl panel designs allow you to slide them in four different directions: up, down, left, and right.
When the vinyl panels are closed, they can protect your enclosure from outdoor weather and environmental conditions, such as rain, wind, pollen, and cold temperatures. But when the vinyl panels are open, you can ventilate your enclosure if it is too hot.
The power to shield and ventilate your porch enclosure throughout the seasons is why sliding vinyl panels are the best features to include.
2) Awnings and Shutters
Awnings and shutters can produce more shade if you want to limit the amount of sunlight shining into your patio enclosure. These are the perfect additions to cool down your patio enclosure when it is hot outside. Use quality, durable material to build your shutters, and it will do an amazing job of insulating your enclosure.
You also have the option to retract your awnings or open your shutters if you want to ventilate your patio enclosure to let in cool air. And if you prefer natural lighting, the retractable awnings give you the freedom to allow natural light to come inside with the push of a button.
3) Outdoor Drapes
Outdoor drapes are an economical and practical addition to a patio enclosure. They can do pretty much everything that walls can do, such as block sunlight, reduce heat, and provide privacy.
In addition, outdoor drapes can add unique and attractive aesthetics to your patio enclosure. In fact, drapes give you more aesthetic options in terms of color, texture, and design style. The best part is that you don’t have any walls to block your ability to go in and out of your backyard with ease.
4) Fixed Large Area Screens
Fixed large area screens are basically like screen walls for your patio enclosure. They allow you to enjoy a beautiful view of your backyard without any columns or posts obstructing it. You can install a single-piece screen on each side of the enclosure to serve as a ventilated wall.
If you are worried about extremely hot or cold temperatures, you can always add sliding vinyl panels behind the screens to insulate the enclosure when the temperatures are too unbearable.
