Burnside, QLD

The Problem:

Despite its size and potential, the alfresco became unusable after 4pm due to relentless mosquitoes. Even short periods outside meant constant buzzing and bites.

Like many homeowners, the family hesitated to enclose the space. They worried screening would make the area feel closed in, restrict airflow and block their beautiful outlook. Over three years and multiple Home Shows, they considered their options carefully before deciding to act.

The Solution:

Suncoast Outdoor Living designed a tailored outdoor screening solution that preserved everything the clients loved about their alfresco — the open feel, the breeze and the views — while eliminating the pest problem.

Through careful site assessments and thoughtful product selection, we created a seamless alfresco enclosure that blends into the existing structure without making the space feel confined.

What We Delivered:

Fully enclosed alfresco area for year-round use
High-quality screening that maintains airflow
Clear sightlines to preserve surrounding views
Discreet framework integrated with the existing structure
Increased usability of a large outdoor living space
Peace of mind from unwanted pests and wildlife

The Result:

The transformation was immediate. The Battersby family can now enjoy their alfresco well into the evening without the constant irritation of mosquitoes. What was once an underused space is now a comfortable, inviting extension of their home. Their only regret? Not doing it sooner.
