What is a sunroom and why do you need one in your backyard?
A sunroom, also frequently called a solarium, is an enclosed room that permits abundant daylight and views of the landscape while sheltering from adverse weather. It can be free-standing on a concrete pad or wood deck in the middle of your yard, or it can be placed against your house as a patio enclosure.
Here are ten reasons why you might consider adding a sunroom to your backyard:
- Sunrooms provide a space for you to enjoy the natural beauty of your backyard all year round, regardless of the weather.
- Sunrooms can be used for a variety of purposes, including relaxing, entertaining, gardening, doing crafts or other hobbies, and even working from home.
- Sunrooms allow you to create a tropical paradise in your own backyard, with plenty of natural light, greenery, and fresh air. Here are some great ways to outfit your sunroom.
- Sunrooms can be a great addition to your home if you love spending time outdoors but don't always want to deal with bugs or inclement weather.
- Sunrooms can add value to your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers if you ever decide to sell.
- Sunrooms are energy efficient and can help reduce your heating and cooling costs.
- Sunrooms can provide a place for your plants to thrive, even during the colder months.
- Sunrooms can be a great place to relax and unwind after a long day.
- Sunrooms can be a great place for kids to play and learn about nature.
- Sunrooms can be a great place to entertain guests and host parties or events.
While you can spend loads of money to have a contractor build you a custom sunroom, there are many great options that cost less and come ready to assemble. Most can easily be assembled by 1-2 people within 4-8 hours. Researching local building requirements with your HOA and municipality is recommended prior to installation.
