If you and your family like to spend time outside on your patio, then a screen enclosure that's in good condition can be important. In this article, you can learn about a couple of the types of benefits that having a screen enclosure around your patio will offer you. You will also read some information about why it's important to have any repair issues taken care of right away.

You can create a nice eating area

When you want to eat on the patio, you'll want to enjoy your meal without being bothered by your dog's begging, your cat jumping on the table, and flies trying to land on your plate. A screen enclosure can help you with all these things. You can shut the screen door to the enclosure anytime you want to keep your pets out. Also, the screen enclosure will have a tight mesh that will keep the flies out. 

However, if there are any small holes in the screen, then flies will be able to come right in, so the screen enclosure won't offer you any protection from them. If you don't fix small holes right away, they can quickly become very large ones. Larger holes can end up being big enough that they can even allow the pets to come right in when they want. 

You can have an outdoor area for your crafts

If you like to do crafts, and you get even more enjoyment from them in the fresh air, then a patio enclosure can be the perfect thing. You can even have storage spaces and table areas on the patio that allow you to keep your crafting materials right on the patio. With the screen enclosure, you won't have to worry about things like birds stealing the shiny beads off the table or other animals getting into your things.

The screen will let small breezes in, which can be nice, but cause enough of a disturbance in the larger winds that it can offer you some protection from them. One more thing that's nice is the screen can provide a bit of shade, so you won't have the bright sun in your eyes as you are trying to enjoy your crafts. Rips and tears in the screen can get big, fast. This can result in you no longer having those benefits, and you may have to move everything in the house until you have the screen fixed.
