Replacing the old backyard deck with a spacious new sunporch addition extends this home’s livable space and creates a seamless connection to the private backyard. Floor-to-ceiling screen panels provide open-air living with unobstructed views while delivering protection from the outdoor elements.
The homeowners wanted to spend more time outdoors enjoying their beautiful backyard. This screened sunporch addition creates an all-weather space for family gatherings, entertaining and relaxing. The sizeable footprint, vaulted-ceiling design and screened panels make the room live large. Worry-free composite wood flooring delivers a clean aesthetic while full electricity powers comfort and entertainment amenities.
Backyard Living Space
The old deck was small, and with railings on one end and a built-in bench on the other, it offered very little space for outdoor furniture. Plus, the cramped layout restricted traffic flow from inside the house to the outdoor living area.

The new sunporch room is a larger open-air living space (11’ x 14’) with floor-to-ceiling screened panels for excellent ventilation and unrestricted views with a full roof for protection.
The existing deck was small and its wood had weathered over the years and needed maintenance. Plus, the open deck offered no protection from pests, rain or the hot sun.

The sunporch addition was designed for easy living at every touchpoint: Sturdy, lightweight framing materials create the gabled roof and side panel construction, including maintenance-free aluminum posts capped in vinyl, so there’s no paint to touch up or chipping to worry about long-term.
Because the homeowners wanted an unobstructed view and ventilation for their firepit table, screens are run from floor to ceiling along the walls. Added screened entry doors on both sides provide easy access to the room from the yard and adjoining patio.
