The cost to build a patio enclosure depends on what you envision. Youll spend anywhere between $8,411 and $24,222, with an average price of $16,181 for most enclosures. By enclosing the patio, you add more livable space to your home. Some people turn their patios into sunrooms, while others merely add screens to protect from bugs. There's also the option to completely enclose the room into another regular room on your home. The goal is to have an outdoor space where you can relax, maybe sipping a beverage and watching the sun rise or set. Here are some cost factors to keep in mind when creating your patio enclosure.
The first decision you need to make is: what kind of enclosure do you want? There are three varieties: full enclosure, partial enclosure or a sunroom. How do you tell the difference?
Some factors you need to keep in mind when choosing between these three options are:
While you wont have to worry about most of these with a partial enclosure, they are major considerations with a full enclosure or a sunroom. This is especially true if you will have to knock down walls for the addition to your home.

Roofs are essential to protecting your enclosure from weather conditions. Depending on the type of enclosure, you can choose between a traditional roof or an awning. When considering which one to invest in, here are some pros & cons to consider:

Another factor to consider in your enclosure is the total square footage. Youll have to figure out the size, which then determines how much in materials youll need. The bigger the square footage, the more youre going to spend on everything else. Thats where partial enclosures will not cost as much, despite its square footage. The easiest thing you can do with them is to add screens, which is far less expensive than starting from scratch.
Make sure to keep the following in mind when determining square footage:

Outside of full, partial or sunroom, there are more specific types of enclosure designs to consider in your overall construction:

If you want to have a very elaborate and complex addition, then youre going to need windows. Sunrooms usually have 40% of the walls covered in windows. So you need to consider how many windows you want, what size and any insulation or decorative add-ons. Youre going to probably pay about $1,200 to $3,200 for four windows. It will be more if you add more than five windows.
If this sounds incredibly expensive, then you might consider screens instead. Mesh, curtains or other types of see-through material are less expensive to add than windows. However, that does come with the downside of not enjoying your enclosure in inclement weather. If you want to add screens around your enclosure, expect to pay about $280.

Some types of enclosures will need permits. Full enclosures or custom sunrooms will definitely require this, especially if they change your homes existing structure in any way. Partial enclosures probably will not require one, unless you do something complex in addition to screens or windows. Youll pay around $910 for a permit. Check with your local municipalities before you embark on this project. You dont want to redo the project later because it isnt up to code.

Once your enclosure is up and running, its time to consider the extras. What kind of space do you want the enclosure to be? What will be its overall purpose for you? Here are some add-ons you might consider for your enclosure:
