That is certainly large enough for a screen porch. While you won't get the cross-breezes offered by two- and three-sized porches, it will ba a nice fresh-air space. Almost for free!

thanks Chibimimi, just what I wanted to hear. There is already a ceiling fan and I have a vintage wicker rocker that belonged to dh"s great aunt many years ago. Then to get him going on a plan.

We are in mid-construction on a screen porch that is just a bit over 8' x 11', so very similar in size. I would have gone larger if I could, but we have already maximized our lot coverage! The porch is replacing an existing (well, not existing any more!) deck that we never used because it was either too sunny/hot or too buggy.

We will have two loveseats situated in an L shape in one corner, two small square tables to use as coffee tables (or ottomans), and a couple of folding chairs to stick in the corner and put into service as needed. Anyway, all of this is to say that your size isn't too small -- depending on what you want to do with it!

Yes, mine is 8 by 12 and I have a full size sofa, a rocker and a regular chair, plus a coffee table out there. It is not crowded at all. The furniture is Lloyd Flanders. I love that porch and live out there in nice weather.
