3 Reasons to Consider Enclosing a Large Patio as a Sunroom

Do you have a patio that you gaze out at longingly all winter, just waiting for the day that it’s finally warm enough to finally sit out and enjoy it? When that warm weather comes do you find yourself never out there because it’s too hot, there are too many bugs, or you just have too much yard work to do?

When the weather does finally warm up this year, why not have that unused patio enclosed and turned into a sunroom?  Here are 3 reasons why you should.

 

Reason #1 to Enclose Your Patio

The primary reason for enclosing your patio is to use that unused space that is just sitting on your property.  You can’t use it in the winter because it is too cold and you don’t use it in the summer because of a large number of reasons.

By enclosing the patio with windows, you have created a protected sunroom that you are sure to use so much more than the patio you have now.  During the winter, you can go in there to enjoy the sunshine without having to endure the cold.  In the summer, you can open all the windows to enjoy the night air and the stars without having to worry about the bugs.  Oh, and don’t forget being able to sit in your sunroom all toasty and warm while you watch it snow outside, or cuddled up under a warm blanket listening to the rain on the glass.

Reason #2 to Enclose Your Patio

Creating a sunroom out of your patio can increase the value of your home.  Instead of having an outside patio, you now have an additional room in your home and more square footage.

A sunroom is also more of a draw to prospective buyers than a patio when it comes time to sell your house.

Reason #3 to Enclose Your Patio

Sunrooms are great for those that love plants.  A warm enclosed space with plenty of sunshine coming in the windows makes the perfect environment to grow plants all year long, instead of just during the warmer months.  It will also allow you to keep plants that are normally only found in warmer environments because they won’t be outside.

Finally, for anyone that has a garden, a sunroom is a perfect place to grow your seedlings until they can be planted outside in the garden.
