Your Calgary deck is a great place to hang out and enjoy your outdoor space, but it comes with a couple of limitations. Firstly, it’s very much weather dependent, meaning that you can only really use the deck when the sun is shining and the infamous Calgary wind is quiet. If it’s raining or windy, your deck experience will be poor. The second limitation of a deck is that you can only use it for a part of the year when the weather tends to be warmer. Of course, you can set up your deck to be usable in the shoulder seasons around summer, but there will be a large number of months when it’ll be under the snowpack and usable. Fortunately, with a screen upgrade, you get access to this whole space year round.
Summer Screen Rooms
It’s easy to envisage how to enjoy summer in your screen room as this is the season they are designed for. You get all the benefits of being outside – the scents, the sounds and the warmth as well as the view over your garden, without the pesky bugs and rain stopping you from having fun. During the summer, you’ll want to think about some fans to get the breeze moving, as well as some indoor rugs to stop your family tracking dirt in and out of the screen room.
Fall Screen Rooms
Fall is a beautiful season in Calgary, and there’s nothing like seeing the leaves change colour from the comfort of your screen room. Lean into the cozy feeling of the season with some seasonal soft furnishings, with pillows and blankets allowing you to spend the lengthening evenings out in your screen room. Take your screen room game up a notch with a hot drinks station so that you and your family can enjoy tea, coffee and hot chocolate while curled up on the couch together.
Winter Screen Rooms
The Calgary winter can feel like it lasts forever, and there will be days when your screen room can’t be used as the mesh lets too much cold air in. However, you can buy plastic inserts to stop the wind from coming in, as well as installing a simple heat source such as an electric heater to allow you to look out over your winter wonderland. Finding a way to open up your screen room in the winter is a great plan as it allows you to have a quiet space to escape to during the busy holiday season.
Spring Screen Rooms
When spring finally rolls round, you’ll find that the screen room really comes into its own. Not only do you get the beauty of watching the world come back to life right before your very eyes, but you’ve also got a perfect home for any seedlings and plants that need protection from the last frosts while getting plenty of sunshine and warmth.
