But how can you enjoy the sun and breeze without also dealing with bugs and leaves? A screen enclosure may be the answer you’re looking for! To help you figure out the best way to add a screened-in area to your home, here are three types of screen enclosures explained. ##### ![Screen room with roof](https://blog.connersince1979.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo.png?width=825&height=453&name=Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo.png) #### Type #1: Screen room that already has a roof A screened-in area that is built using the main roof is called an under-truss screen room or a [screened-in lanai](https://www.connersince1979.com/screenrooms/). You may see this if you or your neighbor have a screened front porch. Screen panels and a door are added in between the house’s columns or walls. This type of screen enclosure is typically the most cost-effective out of the three types because it uses the pre-existing roof and structures. ##### ![Pool enclosure overlooking a lake](https://blog.connersince1979.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo-3.png?width=825&height=453&name=Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo-3.png) #### Type #2: Screen enclosure with a screen roof A screen enclosure with a screen roof, like a [pool enclosure](https://www.connersince1979.com/pool-enclosures/), is an extension of the main roof. The whole structure is made with an aluminum frame with screen panels. Some two-story houses have a screen enclosure that covers both stories This is a good option when you want to enjoy the outdoors without the bugs but don’t need the coverage of a roof. ##### ![Screen room with aluminum roof](https://blog.connersince1979.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo-2.png?width=825&height=453&name=Copy%20of%20Blog%20Content%20Photo-2.png) #### Type #3: Screen room created with an aluminum roof One way to create or extend the size of a back patio is to install a screen enclosure with an aluminum roof. A great area for a patio table and chairs, a [screenroom](https://www.connersince1979.com/screenrooms/) gives you and your family a way to enjoy being outside while being under cover from the elements. A screened-in patio, lanai, pool enclosure, or screen room are all additions that add value to your home while letting you enjoy the best parts of Florida weather.
