If your Venice, FL, home has a patio, you can build a patio enclosure to elevate your outdoor space.

Florida homes are often enhanced with the addition of a patio enclosure. Patio enclosures provide the perfect balance of shade, comfort, and outdoor views to create a hybrid indoor-outdoor space for your home. Patio enclosures offer a light yet durable structure surrounding the patio where you can mount shady screens or insulated glass so Florida homeowners can enjoy their outdoor seated space all year.

DR Aluminum makes patio enclosure construction quick and easy, with elegant structures built to last.

Make Your Patio an Indoor Sanctuary

Venice, Florida, homes often emphasize beautiful outdoor gardens and vistas, which can be admired from your patio. Patio enclosures can include fans and other technology to make your patio a true sanctuary where sunlight and the sounds of nature can be enjoyed comfortably. 

Patio enclosures transform your patio into an indoor sanctuary, providing exactly the right amount of shelter while still allowing you to enjoy your spectacular view and access to healthy sunshine.

Perfect for All Seasons

From our brief winters to hot summers, a patio enclosure will allow you to enjoy your outdoor living space every time of year. Enclosures are ideal for all seasons, giving you a great view and control over how much of the current weather you allow into your space.

Styles of Patio Enclosures

DR Aluminum offers several styles of patio enclosures. The best choice will depend on your personal tastes, property design, and how much of the outdoors you want to access within your patio enclosure.

Patio Enclosures vs. Open Patios

Patio enclosures allow homeowners to enjoy their patios year-round regardless of the weather. They also provide protection against common pests, such as insects or other wildlife, that might otherwise encroach on the space. By enclosing your patio, you create an extra room that can increase your property value.

Open patios are often simpler and give unfiltered access to the outdoors. They are exposed and offer little protection from Florida’s natural residents, like raccoons and bugs. An open patio is also exposed to Florida weather year-round and may not always be useable depending on the weather.

Roof vs Screen

Screen patio enclosures may have a screen roof to welcome indirect sunlight or a solid roof to keep off the rain. Glass patio enclosures almost always have a solid roof but may have skylight panels instead.

Structure and Style

Your patio enclosure’s structural style also defines it. The shape of the frame determines the outward appearance and the space within.
