3 Things to Consider for Your Outdoor Office Space

Being outdoors is known to improve our mood, boost self-esteem, enhance immunity, and lead to better health. Companies have also reported that allowing their employees to work outdoors improves productivity. This is why many companies are encouraging their teams to spend more time working outdoors while experiencing the innate healing powers that nature provides.

More often than not, especially nowadays with technology advancing exponentially from the pandemic, you may find yourself with the ability to work from home more frequently than you have before. However, if you work from home you may not have a space that is properly designed to accommodate an outdoor office. Or maybe your space could be lacking important features that make your outdoor office practical and functional.

This is why we are sharing 3 things that are needed to be considered to help optimize your outdoor office space:

• Shelter Your Space from the Environment

When you actually decide you want to work outside in your new outdoor office space in the Lehigh Valley, you are probably wanting to get away from something that may be bothering you inside your home. The last thing you want is rain damaging your technology and your technology getting dirty from all the pollen we tend to get in Pennsylvania!

You will want to consider adding a roof structure over your outdoor living space to be able to properly utilize it as an office. This will shelter you from the outdoor elements like the rain and most of the pollen that may float into your outdoor space. Adding features such as bromic heaters, ceiling fans, skylights, and custom sound systems, can enhance the comfort of your new space and improve the functionality of your new outdoor office.

• Protect Yourself from Bugs

Bugs, gnats, and other outdoor pests can be a distraction when trying to work outside. Constant swatting can cause distractions on video conference calls and spraying harmful chemicals could be detrimental to your health. But you probably don’t want to disrupt the beautiful views of your new outdoor living space with bulky permanent screens.

This is why we have helped many homeowners, just like you, integrate Phantom Screens into their outdoor living space! These custom, retractable screens are easy to use and will keep all those annoying pests out of your new outdoor living space in Center Valley, Pennsylvania.

• Power Up your Setup and Establish a Robust Wifi Network

A strong internet connection is an essential tool for any office, but especially a home office. So if you’re planning to work from your new outdoor living space it is essential to plan your internet connections before your build begins. Unfortunately, most deck or patio contractors in the Lehigh Valley will neglect to help you properly plan and install a robust wifi system for your new space.
