Cover Screen Doors Easily
Screen door winterizing is often required for patios, screen porches, and other structures that have a screen door. We custom make these so that they have an exact fit on your screen door. The screen door winter cover is clear so that it lets light into your enclosure. The cover can be provided with snaps or grommets of your choosing based on the material your door is made of. The patio screen door cover keeps out wind, rain and snow making it a great complement to the other enclosure covers that we provide. When the season is over, simply un-attach it from the door and store it for next season. If you have a doggie door, we can also accommodate that by leaving a small clear flap that drapes over it.
Custom Shapes
Not all patio, porch, and gazebo enclosures are a perfect square. That is why AKON provides custom-shaped clear tarps so that you can complete your enclosure with a tight fit. Make triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, sloped tarps, and many other shapes to keep the elements out of your area. These shapes can be ordered online with our shopping cart, or you can hand sketch and upload your design and we will send you a quote that you can order from.
Entry Options
Getting into and out of your vinyl patio and porch enclosure needs to be quick and easy. That is why AKON offers several different options for you to gain access. We offer zipper splits and rollup panels on the vinyl enclosures that anyone can operate. The zipper is the most common and it has a double zipper pull so that you can open it from both the inside and the outside. The rollup panel door is hand-rolled and is held in the raised position with Velcro straps so that you or your visitors can come and go without the need to interact with the vinyl enclosure.

Winter or Summer Time Use
Vinyl patio and porch enclosures come in many sizes and custom shapes. Winterize your patio and porch for the cold season or keep the pollen and rain out in the summer season. The clear patio panels are made to your exact sizes to fit perfectly. After you are done using them for the season, they can be taken down and stored for the next season. Unlike rigid insulated panels, they are less expensive, easier to store, quicker to produce, and faster to install.
Clear Vinyl Plastic Porch Enclosures
Are you squandering livable space in your own patio? Consider the opportunities if the patio or porch weren't so chilly in the winter. A romantic outside supper, playing board games with the kids, watching football together, or maybe simply cuddling up on the porch swing during a snowstorm. Time is valuable. Maybe you may reconnect with your family in the traditional manner right outside your front door.

Frequently Asked Questions
Patios and porches sit unused for months each year because cold weather or rain makes them uncomfortable. Vinyl enclosures let homeowners keep using these spaces through winter or during rainy seasons without building expensive permanent additions. Clear panels allow natural light in while blocking wind and keeping heat from escaping when a space heater runs. Restaurants figured this out years ago to extend outdoor dining seasons, and now more homeowners are enclosing their own patios, gazebos, and screened porches. The panels come down and store flat when the season changes, which beats leaving outdoor furniture to collect dust all winter. This FAQ covers practical questions about material thickness, mounting options, adding door entries, and what temperature range these enclosures actually handle.
Vinyl Patio & Porch Enclosures – Frequently Asked Questions
What are vinyl patio and porch enclosures used for?
Vinyl patio and porch enclosures protect outdoor spaces from wind, rain, and cold temperatures while maintaining clear visibility. They help extend the use of decks and patios throughout the year without requiring permanent walls or remodeling.
Are vinyl enclosures weather-resistant?
Yes. Heavy-duty PVC vinyl is engineered to resist UV rays, moisture, and extreme temperatures, providing reliable weather protection for long-term outdoor use.
Can I use vinyl patio enclosures during the winter?
Absolutely. Vinyl porch enclosures act as a thermal barrier, blocking wind and retaining warmth to keep outdoor spaces usable during cold months.
Do vinyl enclosures block sunlight?
No, clear vinyl panels let in natural light while shielding against wind and rain. Optional tinted versions are available for added shade or privacy.
Are vinyl porch enclosures customizable?
Yes, all vinyl enclosures are custom-made to fit your exact space. You can specify size, color, panel configuration, and attachment style to match your patio or porch layout.
What vinyl thickness options are available?
Vinyl thickness ranges from 14 to 40 mil. Thicker materials offer increased strength, insulation, and wind resistance for demanding outdoor conditions.
Can I install a vinyl porch enclosure myself?
Yes. Most installations require only basic tools. Panels come with grommets, zippers, or tracks for easy setup. Professional installation is optional for complex designs.
How do I clean and maintain vinyl enclosures?
Simply wash with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes to keep the vinyl clear and flexible for years.
Are vinyl enclosures removable?
Yes. Many systems are designed to roll up, unzip, or detach for seasonal use, allowing easy conversion between enclosed and open-air spaces.
What color options are available?
Choose from clear, tinted, smoked, or solid vinyl. Trims and hems are available in standard colors like white, black, tan, and custom hues upon request.
Do vinyl enclosures provide insulation?
Yes. While not as insulating as glass, thick vinyl reduces drafts and helps trap warmth, improving comfort in cooler months.
Can vinyl enclosures withstand strong winds?
Yes. Properly secured enclosures can handle heavy winds, especially those made with reinforced vinyl and heavy-duty mounting hardware.
Do vinyl enclosures require framing?
Not always. They can attach directly with grommets, Velcro, or tracks. Framed options using aluminum or steel are available for added structure.
Can vinyl porch enclosures be used for restaurants or event spaces?
Yes. Vinyl panels are popular in restaurants, cafés, and outdoor venues to create comfortable, weather-protected dining or gathering areas.
How long do vinyl enclosures last?
With regular care, high-quality vinyl enclosures can last 5–10 years or longer. UV-resistant coatings help prevent discoloration and cracking.
Are vinyl enclosures waterproof?
Yes, they are fully waterproof. Heat-sealed seams and heavy-duty construction ensure rain and moisture stay out, even in severe weather.
Can I replace individual panels if damaged?
Yes. Replacement panels can be ordered separately, allowing you to replace only the sections that need updating without reinstalling the full system.
Do vinyl porch enclosures increase home value?
They can. Enclosures enhance curb appeal and create additional usable living space, which adds functionality and value to your property.
Can vinyl enclosures be installed over screened porches?
Yes. Vinyl can be added over existing screened porches to convert them into enclosed, all-season spaces while preserving outdoor visibility.
What hardware options are available?
Choose from grommets, zippers, Velcro flaps, and track systems. All hardware options are designed for strength, corrosion resistance, and easy operation.
