[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take in to consideration how much natural light you will lose inside the house from the roof of a screened in deck.  We have a very light-filled living room with French doors that open to our deck.  I had planned to screen in that deck, but realized we'd lose a lot of the natural light that I love.  We ended up getting a cheap outdoor rug to throw down on the deck (to prevent bugs from coming up through the slats) and getting one of those coleman pop up screen gazebo things for around $100.  The are actually pretty durable and can be strapped on to the deck so you don't have to worry about taking them down during high winds, etc.  It has been perfect for allowing us to use the deck when it is really buggy outside, and we can still take it down easily in spring, fall, and winter when we want to really take advantage of that natural light inside.

You don't have to do a solid roof. You could put a roof of twin wall polycarbonate panels on, it's clear.[/quote]

Or sunroof! Those are really pretty on porches.

The PP above about the extra sun screening is right, but also rain. We get rain that blows in a certain corner.[/quote]
