An enclosed patio is a versatile outdoor space that provides fresh air, but with enough cover and privacy to keep it protected from the elements and the gaze of nosy neighbors.
An enclosed or semi-enclosed patio space can include anything from an attached patio with walls on three sides; a pergola installed on an open patio with privacy screens on three sides; a greenhouse, pop-up canopy, or gazebo on top of a patio; or a screened-in patio.
Here are some ideas for enclosed patios that range from built-ins to add-ons so that you can create a sheltered private space that will optimize your backyard.
