A Step-by-Step Guide by Sunroom Season to Enclose a Patio 

Select the Enclosure Type

Sunroom Season provides a variety of choices, such as:

• Screen Enclosures: These enclosures provide the best way to let fresh air in while keeping bugs out.
• Full or Partial Glass Enclosures: These provide a light-filled area with weather protection.
• Combination Enclosures: To provide the greatest adjustability, these enclosures include a door, window, and screens.

Take a Measurement

Accurate measurements are required for a smooth enclosure fit. Take height, width, and length measurements of your patio to determine the materials needed.

Choose Materials and Design

Choose weather-resistant, long-lasting materials such as glass, vinyl, or aluminum. Include features that harmonize with the architectural style of your home, such as skylights, sliders, or special finishes.

Set Up the Area

Remove all plants and other objects located on the patio. Ensure that the foundation is sturdy enough to support the enclosing structure and that it is level.

Install the Enclosure Frame

The frame of your enclosure is its structural framework. Aluminum frames are ideal for supporting glass or screen panels because they are light in weight and rust-free. Sunroom Season ensures that the installation is correct to the last detail to increase longevity.

Install Screens, Windows, or Glass Panels

The selected screen, glass, or both should then be fitted into the frame chosen within the course of the project. This has to be done well to ensure that no space is left between the two surfaces. The experts at Sunroom Season guarantee flawless panel installation.

Customization and Final Touches

Install weatherstripping, doors, locks, and insulation. Customize the room with furniture, drapes, or shades to fit its intended purpose.

Temporary vs. Permanent Patio Enclosures

Temporary Patio Enclosures

Types: Retractable screens, pop-up canopies, vinyl curtains, and mesh screens.

Pros: Reasonably priced, simple to install, detachable, and permit-free.

Cons: Less weather protection, limited longevity, and seasonal usage only.

Permanent Patio Enclosures

Types: Glass enclosures, framed wall enclosures, screened-in patios, and hybrid enclosures.

Pros: Long-lasting, withstands all kinds of weather and increases the house’s worth.

Cons: Slightly expensive and takes more time to install.

In conclusion, permanent enclosures are best suited to accommodation facilities that will be permanently or used throughout the year, while temporary patio enclosures are suitable for very short—to mid-term purposes.
