Patio & Sunroom Placement in the Atlanta, Georgia Area

As you mull over the possibility of adding a new patio or sunroom to your Atlanta, Georgia area home, you may wonder exactly where the new addition should be located on your property.

The location of your patio or sunroom depends on a few factors. First, measure the square footage of yard space you have available for a patio or sunroom. Typically a homeowner will prefer the backyard or side-yard, with most Atlanta, Georgia homes having extra room in the backyard. Hindsight being what it is, homeowners often wish that, if they had to do it over again, they would have built a larger patio or sunroom than the one they have. Therefore, when choosing the location for your outdoor addition, you may simply want to opt for the area that provides the greatest amount of space.

Another factor in your patio or sunroom design is how much exposure you want to sunlight and heat. For those who want maximum shade and a cool breeze, a sunroom should be built on the northern side of the home. Conversely, a southern-facing sunroom will provide a very warm and sunny structure which may require the room to be fitted with an air conditioning system, especially in a hot climate like the one we experience in Atlanta, Georgia.

As you might presume, a porch or sunroom on the east or west side of your home will give you a combination of sun and shade. The east side of your home will give your sunroom extra light in the morning. The west side of your home will supply sun exposure during the afternoon and sunset hours.
