[quote=Anonymous]We didn't do this, but the people we bought from did. Our deck turned screened porch is about 15x18.  We have a seating area, a dining area, and kid toy storage.

Definitely get a fan.  Have it centered over where you would put seating.  We just moved our fan to make it more usable.  Unless they rearranged for staging the house, the fan wasn't over their seating area either.  It was over the walkway and pretty useless.  make sure it is an outdoor fan, or it will rust and the blades will droop from all the moisture.

Have screening material placed below the deck boards to prevent bugs from coming up through the floor.

Consider how much lighting you will need.  The only light fixture on our large porch is part of the ceiling fan.  It is not enough light when it is dark out.  We have Christmas lights strung on the perimeter of the ceiling to make up for it.

Consider how the sun will shine in early morning or late afternoon.  We are planning on adding shades to the western side of the porch to block the late afternoon sun.[/quote]
