What would your space under the deck become?
If you have a high-elevation deck, you likely have enough room under the deck to create a completely different outdoor living space or storage space. A popular way to use this space is to screen it in. What are some popular under-deck screened porch ideas? Make yours your new favorite place to be!
Under-Deck Screened Porch Ideas
Screened Garden
A screened porch, even under a deck, can be a prime location to grow all your favorite plants. Concerns about growing plants on a screened porch include choosing plants that need full sunlight for at least six hours. Even so, many plants–including fruits and vegetables–can do well on your under-deck screened porch and stay safe from wildlife.
Screened Sitting/Dining Room
A screened sitting and dining room is another option. A screened porch, whether above or under a deck, can be an excellent space for lounging and eating al fresco. A gas or propane-fueled fire pit can make it even cozier.
Screened Play Room
A screened room can also be a kids’ play room. Basements, bonus rooms, sunrooms, and screened porches can all be excellent places to store toys. Of course, your screened room is only a viable play room when the weather is nice.
Screened Sanctuary
A screened porch under a deck can also be a sanctuary. Place a hammock or a recliner and some lovely plants and other decor in the room, and it suddenly becomes a haven of relaxation. A screened porch is pleasant whether it rains or shines. Keep the party above head on the deck!
Screened Rec/Movie Room
An under-deck screened porch can also be a place for family and friends. It can easily be your rec room, board and card game room, movie room, or all of the above. Playing games or watching a movie can be more exciting in a sunny space or during a storm!
Screened Shed
Last but not least, you can use your screened room for extra storage, especially if you lack room in your shed or garage. An under-deck screened porch can be a great place for storing outdoor gear, bikes, gardening supplies, etc.
