A screened porch is an ideal place to spend a summer evening and can be a quite inexpensive addition to a home. This type of sun room would be used only during the warm months of the year, with no glazing, or removable glazing. It would provide protection from rain and insects. Screen porches can be a do it yourself project from a kit, or your own design. If the roof of your home needs to be retrofitted to accomadate the addition, it may be best to hire a professional carpenter to do the work. Most kits will include a roof and detailed instructions on attaching to your home. By using casement windows or patio doors an enclosed porch can double as a screen porch. The sun room would need to be isolated from the homes environmental controls. The doors or windows of the sun porch can be opened in warm weather, the screen doors or windows serving to keep out insects and other pests. The doors and windows are then closed during inclement weather, extending the use of the sun room. In short, a screened porch can be an excellent addition to your home and the sun room can serve many purposes if planned and constructed properly. Best is to consult a qualified building contractor or carpenter before you start on this project.
