5 Reasons to Install a Screened Deck

There’s nothing better than enjoying an ice-cold beverage while kicking back and relaxing on a comfy chair on your deck. But sometimes mother nature doesn’t allow you to enjoy the great outdoors in peace. That’s when a screened deck can help. Check out these five reasons to install a screened deck.

1. Stops Pesky Intruders

Have you ever been outside and are suddenly greeted with flies, mosquitos, and other invasive bugs? These bugs can put a damper on your outdoor relaxation. With a screened deck, these bugs have no way of ruining your outdoor fun. Finally, you can enjoy your meals, relaxation, and other outdoor activities in peace. 

2. Keep Out the Rain

With a screened deck, just because it’s raining outside doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the outdoors. If you love to listen and watch the rain, you’ll love a screened deck. Sitting on your screened deck is like being outside without having to worry about getting wet from the rain. Your furniture is protected, and you still get to enjoy the sounds of nature.

3. Expand Your Living Space

Are you tired of being crammed inside the house? A screened deck is the perfect solution. A screened deck provides a quiet reading nook, a well-ventilated arts and craft area, or an intimate space to do your yoga routines. You can use your screened deck for a variety of activities, including entertaining guests. This extra square footage will help you enjoy the great outdoors while being protected from the elements.

4. A Place to Entertain

You can host fun parties on your screened deck. The shade a screened deck provides and the protection from bugs makes it an ideal place to host parties. No matter the size of your screened deck, you will be able to entertain a larger group of people than you would have been able to without the screened deck.  

5. Add Value to Your Home

If you plan to sell your home, a screened deck is a major asset. Prospective buyers will love the ability to sit outdoors without having to be outdoors. They’ll imagine all the possibilities that they can use the screened deck. Since potential buyers will love the screened deck just as much as you love it, they will be willing to pay more for your house.
