screenhouse

Bugproof outdoor room

A screenhouse is a structure enclosed with mesh or screen rather than solid walls, allowing air circulation while keeping out insects and debris.

In agriculture, screenhouses protect crops from pests and excessive sun while maintaining ventilation: The tomatoes grow in a screenhouse to prevent insect damage.

In domestic use, a screenhouse serves as an outdoor living space—essentially a screened porch or gazebo.
