Spring Is Just Around the Corner — Do You Have a Protected Outdoor Space?

welcome spring with a screened or 3-season porch from deck plus

Spring means flower buds and blooming trees — but, if you’re one of the millions of people who have seasonal allergies, it can hinder your outdoor enjoyment.Spring Is Just Around the Corner

Hints of spring are a welcome sign to the end of winter and the promise of warmer days ahead. Seasonal trees and plants are budding and the daffodils and cherry trees are in full bloom as Mother Nature comes to life around us. Spring is a time for renewal, in all its glory, however, allergens like tree pollen and mold can often put a damper on your time outdoors. Here at Deck Plus, we offer the perfect answer for making the most of your time outdoors with a structure that protects you from allergens and seasonal debris – a versatile 3-season room!

Spring teases us with hints of summer

The arrival of spring also means we are in the lead-up to summer, and that means … here come the pesky insects. Have you tried different techniques every year to repel mosquitoes, gnats and other flying pests on your patio or deck? Many solutions only take care of the issue for a limited amount of time and none offer 100% protection against nuisance biting and stinging insects. This year, why not treat yourself to a permanent solution with a custom screened porch from Deck Plus? This is a gift your family and friends will enjoy almost year-round – season to season and year after year.

Deck Plus Builds Perfect Protected Outdoor Spaces

Charlotte-area homeowners may know us best by our reputation as high-quality deck builders. You’ll be glad to know we specialize in high-quality porches, screened porches, and 3-season rooms too! As much as we love decks, when the insects of summer come along, the best place to be is in a screened porch or 3-season room.

The screened-in porch is a protected outdoor space with immense versatility. We can include an outdoor kitchen or outdoor fireplace in a screened porch design, but the basic screened porch has a lot to offer. In essence, this type of space gives you an outdoor room with a roof, which protects you from the sun as well as rain. Many homeowners select an open porch purely for shade as well as cover during the occasional rain shower. The screened porch adds an extra “layer” of protection with screens to give you peace where you formerly swatted at insects.

While we’re creating a custom screened porch design for you, we can select special types of screening based on your family’s needs. Depending on your porch’s orientation in relation to the sun’s path, you may want screens that block harsh sunlight and UV rays.

Charlotte Screened Porch Options

When we work with you to create the perfect screened porch design, we strive for a cohesive design that blends with your home and landscape. If you already have a deck or open porch, let’s look at some popular screened porch design options you may want to consider.

  • Deck or patio and screened porch combination

Many of our clients enjoy having both a deck and/or patio and a screened porch. These structures work in unison to give you the best of both worlds. With this combination, you will always have a covered space and an open-air space. Decks and patios are inviting on delightful spring and fall afternoons when you crave the sun’s warmth. Both structures are also perfect for stargazing at night. Screened porches shade and protection from insects during the summer months. They also provide the perfect fallback option if you plan a party on the deck only to be met with a seasonal shower.

If you already have a deck and/or patio, and you enjoy it, why give it up? One design option is to add a screened porch to an existing deck. In practical terms that may mean replacing your deck with a screened porch and building a new deck adjacent to it. Most homeowners prefer to have their screened porch next to the house with a deck leading from the porch to the yard.

We also design and build combination outdoor living spaces that offer both open-air and protected enjoyment delivering endless opportunities for every season.  Read about this combination space by Deck Plus that features a three-season room along with a deck, patio, covered porch, and custom backyard fire pit.

  • Deck or open porch conversion to screened or 3-season porch

Do you have a deck or open porch that hasn’t seen much use lately? Many families find that their outdoor needs change over time. Your Deck Plus design consultant can talk with you about the possibility of converting your deck or open porch to a screened-in or 3-season porch. Converting an open porch to a more protected outdoor space is usually not difficult. Enclosing a deck with screens and adding a roof is trickier because some decks are not built to support the weight of a porch roof. We can inspect your deck’s support structure to determine if a roofed structure is possible.

  • Charlotte three-season room

We’re fortunate in the Queen City to have distinct seasons. However, that also means a certain number of days each year are too cold for enjoying decks, patios, or porches. Unless you consider a 3-season room! If you’re thinking about adding a screened porch, consider the additional protection a 3-season porch system can provide. Think of a 3-season room as a screened porch with windows that you can slide open or closed for comfort. A three-season room from Deck Plus gives you more “porch days” per year with the increased functionality you gain from adding windows.
