Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence is happy to help you with your backyard deck project. With decades of experience and many happy customers, MAD Fence is ready to take on the challenge and help you answer the question, “Should I convert the deck to a screened porch?”
Why Keep the Backyard Deck?
An open backyard deck gives you ample outdoor living space with no obstructions. Depending on how much space you have, it could be enough to house your backyard grill or large enough to house the grill and a long, outdoor dining set.
A great reason to keep your backyard deck simple and open is if you intend to have open flames on your deck. A grill and fire pit both need enough ventilation; it’s better to keep them in a semi-open or open space to avoid too much smoke.
Another reason to keep the space open is to maximize your sun exposure. You could give yourself some shade when you want it with a retractable awning or deck umbrella but have it down when you want to sunbathe.
Why Convert the Deck to a Screened Porch?
A screened porch gives you the natural sunlight and fresh air of the outdoors, but protects you permanently from the overhead sun, the beating rain, and bugs. A screened porch either has only mesh window screens or both the mesh screens and glass or clear vinyl windows. Ask Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence about its PGT screened porch windows.
Besides keeping out the bugs and harsher outdoor elements, screened porches also offer some temperature control. You can gain the benefits of ceiling fans, space heaters, and even a fireplace or wood-burning stove. Outdoor-grade curtains help insulate the room even further.
Can You Do Both?
With enough space, it is possible to have both a backyard deck and a screened porch. It’s possible to convert the deck to a screened porch on only one side. Mid-Atlantic Deck & Fence has completed multiple past projects that exemplify what is possible.
