I do a lot of entertaining out there and nothing ruins a party more than the unpredictable weather
Everyone who visits my apartment says that the best area is the screened in porch, however it’s not an average porch that’s small enough to be a single room, no, my screened in porch spans the entire backside of my home with views of the lake. Instead of having a single area with chairs to enjoy the space, it’s actually sectioned off into 3 different areas. There’s a dining area with a long table for entertaining, a small seating area with rocking chairs and a bench swing, and an entertainment area with a granite fireplace and a big couch! As you can imagine, it’s one of the most used areas in my house, so even though the screened in porch spans the backside of my apartment and it has incredible views, it needed one more thing to make it comfortable. I had 3 big ceiling fans installed along with 3 fan misters that hang from the corners of the ceiling. In total, these 6 fans kept the porch cool while we were in some of the hottest weeks of the summer. I also bought a single oil furnace that can move around. The fireplace puts off a lot of natural heat, however the oil furnace is for special chances where more heat is needed, then both the fans and oil furnace were essential for temperature control. I do a lot of entertaining out there and nothing ruins a party more than the unpredictable weather. It’s nice knowing that I can cool things down or heat them up with ease.
