Screen Houses for Your Yard
If you are interested in enjoying your deck,
porch or patio without the inconvenience
of bugs and hot sunlight, a screen
house
may be what you need. When buying
a screen
house you first need to consider
if you want
a permanent structure or a temporary
one:
- Permanent structures are
- more expensive but can be modified for use
in cool and cold weather
- usually professionally installed, but if
you are an experienced builder you can order
the parts and do it yourself
- can provide additional living space year
round
- provide a style that blends in and/or compliments
your house
- Temporary structures are
- less expensive and are put up in the spring
and removed in the fall using
screened panels
and awning roofs
- usually come in kits that you can install
yourself
- can attach to one side of your house or be
free standing
- need a floor for easy clean up since rain
is often a problem
If you want electricity for fans,
lighting
and/or heaters, you will
need a permanent
roof and/or a permanent wall(s).
Before installing
these, check to make sure
they are rated
for outdoor use.
Both permanent and temporary
screen houses
come in a wide variety of styles
and prices,
so finding one that meets your
needs and
budget is just a matter of checking
around. |
