Oh, the luxury of walking into your backyard and finding yourself in the midst of a breathtakingly beautiful tropical garden. We certainly have the climate to support it, don’t we? However, lots of homeowners live surrounded by neighbors and are lucky to catch a moment outdoors with no one else around, much less experience the serenity that being secluded within a private getaway spot can provide.
What if we told you the “where of it all” doesn’t really make a difference?
You may not have the space or the funds to put toward greenery and more greenery, but there is a way to experience the sensation of getting away from it all and never leaving the driveway.
Customize your screen enclosure
The first thing that pops into the mind of some upon hearing the words, “getaway spot” is the serenity of seclusion. That’s hard to come by when you live smack dab in the middle of a crowded subdivision. Creating a secluded area for your family increases your level of privacy by leaps and bounds. In fact, many homeowners report that had they realized what a difference an enclosure would make, they’d have installed one sooner!
Some companies—like ours—use digital imagery to provide their customers with a customization feature. Customers provide images from their digital library or choose one from the company catalog. The pictures are reproduced onto the enclosure screens using dyes fortified with added UV protection. This guarantees that the images remain vibrant for years to come despite our intense summer sunshine.
Whatever images you choose, once your enclosure is up, your creative juices will flow! After you finish adding your furnishings and decor, your family will have a new favorite place to gather. Your friends are going to love it too!
Enclosures benefit your family year-round
We mentioned the fact that installing a screen enclosure increases your privacy level. Customizing the screens intensifies the privacy sensation. It helps the hustle and bustle happening throughout the rest of the neighborhood fade into the background. We’re not sure of the science behind that, but the old adage “out of sight, out of mind” works fine for us.
Your family will experience other benefits as well.
You create a bug-free zone
Mesh screen enclosures allow free airflow, which is important when enclosing your pool area. If air can’t circulate freely, eventually, mold and mildew will set in. That can become harmful to your family’s health, moreover, it’s bad for your pet‘s health, too.
Air circulating throughout the space allows you to take advantage of every breeze that passes by too. But the finely woven mesh screens are impenetrable for all types of bugs and insects. That includes those annoying noseeums! Imagine storing the tiki torches and citronella candles away without have to inhale insect repellant with every breath.
Moreover, sitting outdoors in the evening only to get driven indoors by droves of mosquitoes becomes a thing of the past!
Oh! And imagine dining with no flies!
What?
It keeps critters out too
Once your enclosure is up, you’ll never have to experience a snake having taken up residence under the throw pillows or some unfortunate animal finding its way into the pool and not out again before becoming too exhausted to swim any longer.
The scene stays clean
Your enclosure creates a barrier that keeps storm and yard debris from covering your space. You can head outdoors to enjoy the fresh air any time without having to clean up a mess before you sit down.
Again, if you’re enclosing your pool area, that is bound to cut down on skimming time. More time for relaxing or frolicking with the kids is always a plus!
A level of UV protection
You wouldn’t expect mesh screens to provide you with total sun protection. However, they do filter the rays as they fall meaning you aren’t exposed to the ultraviolet (UV) rays as harshly. You will find yourself going longer without reapplying sunscreen.
And we know we seem to keep pushing the pool area, but you know your kids will love that fact!
Safety features too
Your enclosure can be available or not by simply locking the door.
This works great when you want to provide a safe space for your kids to play outdoors but not have the ability to wander away from you if you become engrossed in your book… or scrolling can become engrossing, as well… Just saying.
Or if you don’t want the kids to have access to the pool when playing in the backyard, they won’t!
Creating memories too
Once you decide to install a customized screen enclosure, you will more than likely wind up with a “new favorite spot.” And when you are all in one place at one time, odds are you’re going to be creating wonderful memories that last a lifetime!
Time moves fast. Believe that. Suddenly, you’ll be sitting out in your enclosure fondly bringing those memories to mind as you wait for the grandkids to arrive.
