Patio enclosure

A catch-all for enclosing an existing patio or porch with screen, vinyl, or glass panels — anywhere from a screen room to a near-sunroom.

What it means for you

A flexible, often lower-cost way to convert space you already have. Because “enclosure” covers everything from screen to full glass, pin down exactly which panels, glazing, and insulation you're getting — that's what decides whether it's a warm-month room or a year-round one.

Where you'll see it

On conversion quotes (“enclose my porch”); specs vary widely.
