Deck Enclosures: Would It Be Wise to Have One?

Deck enclosures are an excellent outdoor living solution. During summers, you and your family have lots of fun and enjoy quality time while on your deck. As summertime comes to an end, you can still make use of that outdoor space.

However, you should research about the benefits and drawback of installing both temporary and permanent enclosures.

Remember that each has particular advantages, so you have to know which one will suit your needs. But in general, the benefits that they provide are listed below.

Protects You from Nature’s Elements

Decks are most useful during the summer, but this doesn’t mean that you should not be able to utilize your investment during other seasons when the weather isn’t so ideal.

They will allow you to enjoy hanging out in your deck on days when it’s raining or when it’s extra windy. Also, it will prevent your feet from the incessant burns they get whenever you step out onto the deck under the scorching sun.

Furthermore, deck enclosures will keep out bugs and insects that would otherwise ruin your rest and relaxation. You don’t have to worry about any nature-related issue when you’re out on your deck enjoying an intimate dinner with your special someone or entertaining your friends during your birthday party.

Enhances Your Home’s Functionality

Most homeowners find that when they add a sunroom or deck to their home, it immediately becomes the most loved area by everyone. But why add merely a deck when you can install it together with an enclosure?

It makes outdoor living spaces more usable. Because of their added protection, you can place additional items that are heat or water-sensitive such as a television set and a sound system. Furthermore, if you have invested in a hot tub, having a deck enclosure is a great way of having access to it instead of exposing yourself to the cold weather or the rain while in your swimwear.

Deck enclosures can truly extend the functionality of homes and allow homeowners and their family to do more activities in it.

Reduces Cleaning Time

Another good thing is that they reduce the time required for maintenance and cleaning. You won’t have to worry about sweeping leaves and twigs off your deck every time you have to use it for your alone time or for entertaining.

Moreover, you don’t have to go through the routine of washing, wiping, re-painting, staining, and sealing your deck. Finally, you won’t have to take out your patio furniture only to bring them inside again to protect them from the sun and rain when you’re done using your deck.

Adds Value to Your Home

Since deck enclosures are a way of improving your backyard and adding more functional square footage, they contribute more value to your home. This feature is particularly useful when you’re planning to sell your home in the future.

Having an enclosure will make your deck more functional and aesthetically pleasing. Hence, your home will have a higher resale value and will be easier to market.
