In this post, you'll learn ...

  • The benefits of adding a pet-friendly screen room to your home
  • Why a screened-in porch makes the perfect indoor pet space
  • What makes Patio Enclosures the best choice for your screen room project

Your pets are more than just animals; they are treasured family members. As pet owners, we constantly strive to provide environments that are safe, comfortable, and stimulating. Adding a screen room lets you and your pets enjoy the outdoors together without worrying about them wandering off. One of the best ways to achieve this while improving your home is by adding a screen room.

"Awesome protection from bugs and pollen. Looks so much nicer than my wooden/screened porch. The quality is exceptional, plus having one company sell, manufacture and install — all from USA — is terrific. My doggie loves it too!."

– Jean, Johns Island

Adding a screen room to your home allows your pets to enjoy the benefits of being outside without the nuisance of bugs, mud, or the possibility of your pet leaving your yard. If your pet loves to lie outside all day, a screen room is a wonderful place for them to relax and enjoy the sun and breeze.

A Screen Room Is a Major Advancement for Your Furry Friends

Many pet owners want to give their pets fresh air while worrying about the dangers of the outdoors, and a screen room solves this problem.

  • Safety and Security: Your pets can enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of nature without the risk of wandering off. It provides a contained environment that protects them from outdoor hazards. If your pet is elderly, a screened room addition allows them to lounge comfortably in a safe place without going outdoors.
  • Pest Protection: Screen rooms allow pets to enjoy the "outdoors" without being bitten by mosquitoes, outdoor pests, and other dangerous insects such as heartworm and fleas.
  • Mental Stimulation: A screen room gives your pet a chance to watch birds, squirrels, and falling leaves, which keeps their minds engaged.
  • Vitamin D: Just like humans, pets benefit from sunshine. If you have an elderly pet, a screen room provides a warm, accessible spot for them to nap and soak up Vitamin D.

"Enclosing our patio was one of the best decisions we have made. We have multiple cats who love looking out the windows, so enclosing the patio gives them the opportunity to experience nature safely. We and the cats love it!"

– Cyndi & Dwight, White Oak, TX

How Can a Screened In Porch Create a Perfect Space for Cats, Dogs, and Other Pets?

Does your pet like to jump or paw at your windows? Screen rooms provide floor-to-ceiling views, so your pets can easily enjoy the outdoors without having to jump or scratch your paint or walls to see outside.

Designing the Perfect Screened-In Porch for Cat and Dog Safety

It is important to consider durability and visibility when designing a screen room that pets will also use.

  • Floor-to-Ceiling Views: Our screen room designs offer floor-to-ceiling views so your pets can see everything happening in the backyard without needing to jump up on furniture or paw at the screens.
  • Durable Aluminum Mesh: Traditional fiberglass screens can easily shred under the pressure of claws. Patio Enclosures uses sturdy aluminum mesh that resists tearing, keeping your pet in and bugs out.
  • Freedom of Movement: Integrate a pet door directly into the screen room structure. If your pet is always begging to come in or out of the home, a screen room can give them easy access to the backyard, especially if you add a pet door so they can come and go as they please. A pet door can be added to your screen room, three-season room, or four-season room, as long as a knee wall is constructed into your addition.
