Make a Room by Enclosing a Patio

Most people don’t realize that they have the perfect area to make a room addition to their home. It’s the unused slab of concrete attached to your house that you once lovingly called your patio. For many, this patio has become more of a place to store unwanted items so they are not in the house. Those items that should really be in the garage, but never quite make it that far.Don’t let your patio end up being an open-air, storage facility; when you can enclose it and make a room out of it.Make a Room from Unused SpaceIf you aren’t using your patio for storage, it is probably sitting there unused then.

It also gets the toys and games out of their bedrooms, leaving them with no distractions in there when they are supposed to be getting ready for school or sleeping.For the kids, it provides a place to play where lots of sunshine can come in through the many windows that can be used to enclose the patio. It also gives them a fun and safe place to watch the weather outside without you have to worry about them.Make a Room for RecreationHave you ever wanted a pool table or a room where you can store your exercise equipment and free weights?
