How Do You Build A Four-Season Porch?
A garden gazebo is a great option for a porch that you can use year round. Because it it seperate from your house, there is no construction required. You can purchase a gazebo kit that is patrially pre assembled and easy to set up so that you can start enjoying your outdoor area as soon as possible. You can add screen or outdoor curtains to make your gazebo more enclosed. It will be perfect for year round enjoyment.
One way to add valuable and usable square footage to your home is to build a four-season porch, also called a sunroom. A four-season porch is heated and insulated just like any other room in your home. These porches typically feature 180 degrees or more of windows so that you can enjoy the outdoors from a climate-controlled room. If you have an existing porch, you can convert it into a four-season porch. Otherwise, you can have a sunroom built from scratch. Come up with a budget for your four-season porch. Adding a sunroom is usually a little more expensive than adding a typical addition to your home. Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $15,000 to $30,000. Decide on a style for your sunroom. Designs are quite varied, from small gazebo-like structures to great rooms with cathedral ceilings. Which one you choose will depend on how much space you have to work with, how big your home is and how much you can afford to spend. Contact a sunroom manufacturer/contractor to discuss your options
