What Is a Screen Porch?

A screen porch is a covered outdoor area enclosed with durable mesh screens that block insects, debris, and harsh sun while allowing airflow. Homeowners in Melbourne and Palm Bay love screen porches because they create a cooler, more enjoyable outdoor space without the cost of a full room addition.

You can also add window systems, like our Screen-In Porch Windows, to create a more weather-resistant outdoor room.
