Patio Enclosures
Patio enclosures raise the value of your home and protect your family from insects. They give you the best advantage of being able to live in an open-air space without the need for irritating insect repellants.
Unlike glass, insect screens and enclosed patios allow the air to freely circulate, maintaining the purpose of a patio. They are easy to fit and are an affordable way to improve the look and feel of your backyard.
However, natural daylight could pass through in designs that integrate glass. These enclosures don't only protect your patios and decks from the sun, but also provide you a clear view of the stars at night. You could even barbeque inside without being suffocated by smoke because they give great ventilation.

Having an enclosure built around your patio would provide the necessary cover without giving you the feeling of a closed space. In addition, using insect repellants around food has its share of safety and health risks.
Determine the best type of enclosure for your family. If you're not sure what design and material is best, surf the Internet to find ideas and available options.
Bear in mind that any of these enclosures will be around for many years. You should consider the reputation and stability of the company that sells the enclosure. Ask about warranties.
Screens or Sunroom
Adding a sunroom to your home is a great idea, but more costly than screened patio enclosures. The design of your sunroom depends on what you will be doing in it.
If you just want indoor comfort and a view, you'll need an all-glass enclosure. If you want to bar-b-que and have exposure to nice weather, you'll need a combination of screens and windows.
If you intend using the room only during the warm-weather months, having a screened sunroom will be sufficient and (as already mentioned) much cheaper. Keep in mind that if you only have a screen the rain will get in. Make sure you don't put carpet in the room or furniture that can get ruined.

If you choose to add windows to your sunroom, the room will be more versatile and it will have some advantages over screened enclosures. Either way, the enclosure should be open enough to let you feel like you're really outdoors.
If the climate is warm throughout the year and it is hard to be outside during the summer, then your sunroom can offer you an open space that is comfortable. With so many options you are able to create a pleasant outdoor environment for your family and guests.
