Screened Patio Build Adds Privacy and Bug Protection in Sango

This covered patio in Sango had a lot going for it already - ceiling fan, string lights, solid roof coverage. But it was fully open on the sides, which means bugs, no privacy from the neighbors, and that general feeling of just sitting out in the open. The homeowners wanted to actually use the space without dealing with all of that.

We came in and built out a full screen enclosure around the existing covered patio. The framing runs clean along the roofline and down to the concrete slab, and the dark charcoal screen panels give it a finished, intentional look. There's also a screened door built right into the corner of the enclosure - so access in and out is easy without breaking the seal on the bug barrier.

The screen material we used does double duty. It blocks insects while still letting air move through, which matters a lot on a covered patio that has a ceiling fan running. You're not sealing the space off completely - you're just filtering it. That's the difference between a screened patio done right and one that feels stuffy.

The privacy factor is real too. With the screen panels in place, the line of sight from neighboring yards is cut down significantly. For a backyard that sits close to other homes, that's a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.

Every patio is a little different - different rooflines, post placements, slab layouts. We work around what's already there and build the enclosure to fit the space cleanly, not the other way around. That's what makes the finished product look like it was always supposed to be there.
