My dream outdoor space is a screened porch -- no bugs, and lots of shade!

I believe that, when designing the optimum outdoor space, all of these features are priorities: the pool, the decorative concrete, media, seating/entertaining, cooking capabilities, etc.

If I had to pick one, it's seating. Followed by a pool & privacy.
