screened porch

Mesh-walled outdoor room

A screened porch is an outdoor living space attached to a house, enclosed with mesh screens rather than solid walls or glass.

The screens allow fresh air and views while keeping out insects.

Common in warm climates, screened porches serve as transitional spaces between indoors and outdoors: We ate dinner on the screened porch every summer evening.
