What is an enclosed patio?

An enclosed patio is an outdoor living space that has been shielded from the elements by walls or screens. Patio enclosures can be attached to your home’s exterior wall or free-standing structures built around a patio area.

What are the best materials to use for an enclosed patio?

There is a range of materials that can be used for an enclosed patio, but security patio screens provide the best level of security and durability. Made from aluminium or stainless steel mesh, they are resistant to rust and weathering and provide complete privacy and security for your outdoor space. Central Screens & Locks have the widest range of Amplimesh® products available and can custom-create patio screens to suit your alfresco area.

What features should you consider when enclosing an outdoor area?

When enclosing an outdoor area, you should consider the climate in your area, as well as your budget and the functionality of the space. If you live in a temperate climate, you may want to consider a patio enclosure that can add year-round use to your backyard, utilising screens to provide privacy and keep out annoying insects. If you live in a colder climate, you may want to consider an outdoor living space that includes a fireplace or heating element. This will allow you to enjoy your backyard even when it's cold outside.
