Four Things to Consider for Your Porch

Another beautiful screened enclosure by The Porch Company

1. Size Really Matters

Almost everyone loves their screened porch but if asked, most people wish it were roomier. If economically feasible, make your porch as large as possible keeping in mind it should be aesthetically pleasing and architecturally complementary to your home.

Knowing how it will be used and by how many people will help you determine the optimum size. Keep in mind that smaller porches can still have many of the amenities as larger ones.

Use our handy enclosed porch guide information below to assess your needs.

2. Location, Location, Location

The location of your enclosed porch is often determined by the presence of an existing porch, deck or patio you have. However, if you have the option, choose a location that not only has limited sun in the afternoons but also takes advantage of refreshing breezes.

And don't forget about your view. A pleasant view makes for relaxing, happy times on the porch, too.



We realize it's not as much fun - but don't forget to consider issues like zoning, set backs, and possibly Home Owner Association requirements. Before you start, see more of our ideas for locating your screened porch.

3. Little Things Count

Screen porches are basically frames with screens in addition to supporting posts and roofs.

With subtle changes in materials and framing, plus wonderful craftsmanship, you can create one-of-a kind looks. By studying these beautiful architecturally designed porches you can get plenty of inspiration for your own porch.





Skylights can make any size screen porch more pleasing to the eye. They add additional light as well as enhance the porch's overall open feel.

The arched screen frames and double doors (another unique design feature) soften the overall appearance of the porch and give it a more dramatic look. Also note the bead board knee wall and bead board on the bottom of the double doors.

4. Extend Your Porch Time with Weather Protection

What other reason to build a screened porch than to enjoy the outdoors? So we like the idea of extending porch time as long as possible. So when we saw the All Season Porch Curtains from the Porch Company, we thought we'd show them to you.





These curtains block wind, rain, pollen, and other debris to keeping you comfortable and your porch clean and dry. Imagine in the middle of November being able to enjoy your porch. These curtains are currently only available locally from The Porch Company.
