Screened In Porch IdeasThe purpose of your porch is important to know
Whether you are building a screened porch or installing a screen porch kit, let us walk you through the screened porch design process with a series of guides that will ensure you create the porch of your dreams...and hopefully give you some screen porch ideas to inspire you.
The screened in porch ideas for this porch from Home Rebuilders range from family entertainment to creating a quiet conversation area. Note the knee wall on the back wall perhaps designed to hide an unsightly structure from view.
No matter the size, from a small privacy porch off a bedroom to a large
screen porch enclosure for entertaining, knowing how and when it will be used most will help determine many other factors.
Why purpose is so important
Why is knowing how it will be used such an important aspect of a screened in porch? Ideas for screened in porches create specific construction criteria: Designing a screened porch for intimate dinners may require electrical modifications to accommodate a chandelier whereas an exercise room will possibly require in-floor receptacles to power treadmills or stair climbers. An office area may require additional direct lighting, computer surge protection, and smooth flooring to easily maneuver an office chair. An entertainment room or sports room may require a fireplace and wide-screen TV, stereo surround sound, and popcorn making machine! Here are a few other important considerations for your screened in porch. What's the highest number of people that will use your screen porch on a regular basis? You will probably furnish your screened porch based on this number. If it will be used primarily by family members on a regular basis you will want to plan for that number plus 2 more (occasional friends). You'll want your screened porch large enough to easily accommodate at least that many people. What is the highest number of people that will use your screen porch periodically? If you host Thanksgiving dinner every year on your porch consider adding space or reconfigure your seating to accommodate a larger number. You may want to have additional outlets on a wall for food warmers or a storage space to stack additional chairs or a table to two. How young are those that will use the screen porch regularly? Toddlers and younger children are both inquisitive and play hard.
Your screened porch may need additional considerations like a heavier porch screening or a knee wall instead of screens near the floor, etc., to either protect the screening or prevent someone from falling through the screening.
