    Most people choose to build a deck or screen porch so they can entertain guests, eat meals outside, and gather together as a family. Maybe you’re fine with looking for furniture to fit the deck once the structure has been built. However, we believe it’s a good idea to give some thought to the type of furniture you would like to have on your deck and what activities will be hosted on the deck before you build. You don’t want to be constrained by dimensions that, once built, will be unchangeable.

    Sun Room Design: Part 4 Lighting

    Naturally, building a structure with a roof affects the natural sunlight that enters the room. But a sun room, by name, is meant to be well-lit. Even though roof construction will block some of the beauty and warmth of natural light, strategically spaced skylights can help replenish that natural light so you can still be close to the outdoors without being in the elements.
