A patio is a natural gathering spot for dining, relaxing and entertaining, but an open patio can become less comfortable during periods of intense sun, insects or windblown debris. A screened patio enclosure can make the space more comfortable and usable as an extension of your outdoor living area.
We install patio screen enclosures for Sarasota homeowners, planned to suit both the home and the way you like to spend time outside.
Why enclose your patio
- More comfortable use. Screening can help create a more defined outdoor area while preserving airflow.
- Insect control. Screening can help reduce mosquitoes, flies and other insects around the patio.
- A defined outdoor room. A screened patio can create a more defined area for dining, lounging or entertaining, or around an existing outdoor kitchen.
Patio enclosure design options
A patio enclosure can take several forms depending on the space and your goals, and the options can be discussed during your free estimate.
Enclosure design
The layout of a patio enclosure depends on the existing patio, surrounding home, access points and the way the space will be used. Enclosure details can be discussed based on the property and project goals.
Walls, screen and doors
Screen type can vary by wall depending on your priorities for visibility, airflow and insect protection. Available choices include no-see-um, privacy, solar and pet-resistant screening, for example privacy screen toward neighbors or solar screen on a sun-exposed side. Door and access locations are planned around how you move between the house, the yard and any pool area. Where a patio is adjacent to another screened outdoor area, the relationship between the spaces can be discussed as part of the enclosure planning.
Patio living in Sarasota
Sarasota's warm climate makes patios an important part of outdoor living for many homeowners. Strong sun, afternoon showers, insects and nearby landscaping or water can all affect how comfortable an open patio feels. A screened patio can help reduce insects and windblown debris while maintaining airflow and an open outdoor feel.
How the project works
A patio enclosure project begins with understanding the existing patio, how you use the space and what you want from the enclosure. Layout, screening, access and other enclosure details can then be discussed for the property. Applicable requirements, project details and timing vary.
Who a patio enclosure is right for
Patio enclosures suit homeowners with an existing patio they want to use more, and anyone planning a new outdoor dining or entertaining area. For large openings where you would rather not have a fixed screen wall, motorized screens may be an option, depending on the opening and the project.
