Stay warm on your screened porch this fall with these heating ideas!
In late August, you can begin to feel the first cool breezes of autumn in Maryland. While the trees are still green and the flowers are yet blooming, it is a good time to consider how to stay warm in your outdoor living spaces into the cooler seasons if you haven’t already. These heating options for a screened porch will be more than enough for your screened porch comfort.
Blankets, Rugs, and Curtains
When it isn’t very cold yet, blankets are a great addition to your screened porch. A blanket can be enough to stave off the cold. Be sure to store them away to protect them against the elements. Outdoor rugs and curtains add additional comfort, helping to insulate the room.
Space Heaters
Outdoor space heaters can do a magnificent job of warming up a room and you. Be sure to keep the space heater away from flammable items. You can find ones with various features like automated timers.
Patio Heaters
Patio heaters are the go-to machines for heating up outdoor spaces. They can be freestanding or attached to a wall or ceiling. They provide sufficient heat to any chilly space, and even more so when in a semi-enclosed space like a screened porch.
Electric Fireplaces
Electric fireplaces are convenient in that they don’t need a professional installation. You can just plug them in and have a nice warm fireplace with realistic flames. If you want a fireplace without the hassle of the installation process, then an electric one is a great way to go.
Gas Fireplaces
Gas fireplaces come in different designs, such as modern or traditional. They can be suspended from the ceiling or be inserted into the wall. You can also choose a gas fire pit, which can act as a room centerpiece or a tabletop feature.
Fireplace Inserts/Wood-Burning Stoves
If you would like a truly rustic fireplace, then a fireplace insert or wood-burning stove is the perfect heating option for your screened porch. A small fire can produce big heat!
