Having a screened-in patio is another way to extend your living space, and take advantage of the outdoors without the excessive heat that Arizona is known for. Sun screens can potentially block up to 90% of the heat and glare of the sun.

Mesh size is a factor when deciding what you want to use it for. There are additionally heavy-duty screens that can withstand pet damage as well.
