Are you looking for a gift idea that the entire family will enjoy? You should consider installing an outdoor screen enclosure. Whether it’s around the pool area, lanai, or encloses both spaces, an outdoor screen enclosure is essentially the same as adding an entire room to your ho-ho-home. Talk about a great gift! Who couldn’t use more rooms?
If the area isn’t already the most popular gathering spot, it’s going to be soon! It’s amazing what a difference that adding an element of privacy can make to the ambiance! Screen enclosures don’t completely block the view from the outside, of course, but it creates the same sense of space that a solid wall does on the inside. Moreover, if you choose to work with a company that offers a customized screen option, such as ours, for instance, you have an even greater sense of privacy. Not to mention an amazing view!
Are you wondering to yourself, “View of what?”
We honestly can’t tell you that because you are the one who decides.
How does customization work?
Virtually any digital image can be printed on your screens. You could choose a treasured photo from your favorite vacation destination. How about a great view of the ocean? Does being surrounded by lush vegetation trigger a sense of tranquility within you? Oh, the possibilities! This time of year, it may even be tempting to surround the space with snow-covered mountains. And, if you really love gazing at snow-tipped mountain tops, we say, “Go for it!”
Customers are welcome to use imagery from their own library or to choose from the company’s catalog. Either way, you’re sure to be happy with the end result. It’s entirely possible to create your own private getaway spot just outside your back door. The difference is truly remarkable.
Digital imagery coupled with high-quality ink with added ultraviolet (UV) protection ensures that your custom image remains vibrant for years to come. Add your own lighting and decor to further enhance your new space.
The added benefits of enclosing your space
We mentioned the privacy factor above, but we didn’t tell you that is the number one reason that homeowners decide to install an outdoor screen enclosure in the first place. After the fact, some have reported they didn’t realize the huge difference it would make in their lives. Having to always be out in the open is a bit intimidating some days—depending on things like nosey or disgruntled neighbors more often than not. After enclosing their outdoor space, some homeowners report that it “cured” their anxiousness.
Privacy and customized screens aren’t the only two reasons that your family would benefit by closing in your outdoor living area.
Here are a few more:
- No more bugs crashing the party. The finely woven screen keeps all manner of bugs and mosquitoes from reaching you, your family, or your guests. You can store those flyswatters and tiki torches out in the garage for good!
- There’s a safety feature. Especially, if you install a door complete with a lock, you can feel okay leaving your young child playing on the floor while you run in and grab what you forgot without disrupting him.
- Added UV protection—It may not be a lot, but here in Florida, every little bit counts!
- Dirt and debris stay in the yard—where it belongs! Imagine not having to sweep up before you can sit down. You could stand that, right?
- Installing an outdoor screen enclosure ups the value of your home to some degree. Of course, the odds are you aren’t planning to move any time soon, but it’s still nice to know. So, we’re sharing.
It’s a great time to install your enclosure
Living in Florida, we’re able to take advantage of our subtropical climate and enjoy the outdoors all year long. Enclosing your pool, patio, or lanai area will enhance the time spent there. You’ll be protected from the elements, enjoy every wisp of a breeze that passes through on a hot summer day, and don’t forget about having a private outdoor space to enjoy with family and friends!
Furnishing your new outdoor room will be less expensive this time of year as well. That says a lot when there’s still pre-Christmas everything to tend to, doesn’t it?
Time is growing short though! If you hurry and check around, it could be that your new enclosure will be up and decorated before Santa makes his rounds this year. If it’s just too late to get your gift idea on the schedule, don’t abandon your plan! With a little creativity, you’re sure to think of a great way to reveal what’s “coming soon” with an element of fanfare that will leave your family anticipating the install date.
Perhaps you can all choose the perfect decor together snuggled up on the couch on Christmas Day. Start by having everyone share how they would love to see the space used and form your plan from there. You’re sure to arrive at a decision that everyone will be happy with this Christmas season and for all those that have yet to come.
We here at Private Screens want to wish you and your family the happiest of holiday seasons. May it be filled with so much joy that it flows into 2023 and beyond. Whew! That’s a lot of joy! And, after the last couple of years, we’re pretty sure you won’t have a bit of trouble experiencing every bit of it.
Merry Christmas!
