A screened porch can be a wonderful place to be, no matter the season.
A screened porch can be an independent structure or one enclosing an existing deck, porch, or patio. No matter what kind of screened porch you may have, there is a way to enjoy spending time on it no matter what season it is. If you want to make the most out of your screened porch in Maryland, here’s how to enjoy a screened porch in every season.
Spring: Sprucing Up
In the springtime, you may want to engage in an annual spring cleaning session for your screened porch. Now is a great time to clean out the dirt that might have built up since the previous fall or spring. With the fine weather, you will have a clean start to spend time on your refreshed screened porch. Spring could also be the perfect time to work on any repairs or additions you have in mind.
Summer: Keeping Cool
Maryland summers can range from cool and breezy to hot and humid. While you might want to stay indoors during a heat wave, you can stay relatively cool and comfortable on a screened porch with the help of outdoor fans (standing or ceiling) and patio misters. Using the screened porch during the cooler parts of the day and drinking refreshing beverages can help as well.
Fall: Cozying Up
When the weather truly gets cooler and the leaves begin to fall, a screened porch can still be an inviting place to be. Now is another great time for cleaning out your screened porch thoroughly to get rid of summer’s dirt. Now is also the time to begin using or setting up ways to heat the screened porch. It may still be warm enough that adding some festive throws, bundling up, and serving warm drinks will do the trick.
Winter: Staying Warm
Maryland’s winters can be bitterly cold, making fingers and toes feel numb. If the weather is mild enough, you can still enjoy your screened porch in winter and take in the fresh, crisp air in comfort. To keep warm, you can use any number of outdoor heating features, such as patio heaters, outdoor fireplaces, and smokeless fire pits.
