Protect your screened porch from the wind and rain with these options!
A screened porch can be a wonderful addition to your home, and autumn is one of the pleasantest seasons to enjoy it. You can sit, relax, and take in the sunshine and scenery around you. A beautiful screened porch can quickly become the favorite room in the house. Fall also brings with it rainy days, and this can be a problem. Here are several simple ways to keep rain out of a screened porch.
Awnings
One option is to install an awning around the perimeter of your screened porch. Retractable awnings are the most stylish today and give you the flexibility to bring in more or less sunlight. It can also double as a covering for an outdoor living space outside of your screened porch. When the rain comes, the awning will create space between the windows and the weather.
Exterior Screens
Exterior screens are removable tarps made of a durable, weatherproof fabric that you can install over your windows when a strong storm comes. It will protect your screened porch from the wind and the rain. You can also find exterior shades that roll down to filter sunlight and block rain. These shades can be motorized for the most convenience.
Jalousie Windows
Jalousie windows are great options for screened porches in warmer climates. They are louvered windows that do not completely seal off the porch from the outside, but do fully close to prevent rain from entering it. When fully closed, the clear louvers preserve the view. Jalousie windows keep your view intact but also provide ventilation when needed.
Eze-Breeze Windows
Eze-breeze windows are a staple screened porch window option. They slide smoothly within aluminum-brushed vinyl frames, and their clear vinyl window panes are shatterproof and attractive. When open, a mesh screen still prevents bugs from coming in, but closed, you still have your view.
