Screen Porch Adds a Mosquito Free Outdoor Space
A reader describes adding a screened porch to their house by removing a living room window to create a door. The shaded deck, built over a walk out basement, becomes a favorite relaxing spot after gardening. The idea mirrors a neighbor’s setup and aims to reduce insect presence.
Screened deck enhances lakeside living in northern landscape
A homeowner describes building an 8 by 16 foot screened deck with an overhanging roof on the east side of the house. The porch overlooks a small lake and attracts wildlife including mallards, loons, swallows, terns, muskrats, great blue herons, and night sounds from frogs and whippoorwills. The view may improve after trimming willows, and sounds are clearer from the deck despite weatherproofing dampening indoor acoustics.
