This is where you’ll be taking naps all summer long.
With warm, sunny days at their peak, now’s the time to soak in all the vitamin D you can get. There’s nothing that can lift your spirits like seeing and feeling the bright warmth of the midday sun. But when temps get too hot, you’ll want to find the nearest shade immediately, and I won’t even get into the risks that come with getting a little too much sun.
But I have a fix that can help you experience the best of both worlds—the happy vibes that come from tons of natural light and the nice, cool feel of the shade. Head to your nearest sunroom. If your home doesn’t already have one, you can build one yourself for just $2,599 with the help of this DIY sunroom kit at Amazon. It comes with everything you need to add the perfect-for-sunbathing attachment to your house.
Domi Wall-mounted Sunroom
The Domi Wall-mounted Sunroom is perfect for creating a space you can lounge in when you want to bask in lots of natural light. While its roof is covered, its walls are almost entirely made of windows. The 10-by-20-foot sunroom features a sloping roof made from galvanized steel, three sliding double doors (a pair on each side that isn’t attached to the house), and windows you can slide open to let in fresh air. The sloped roof has a drainage system that helps rainwater slide right off, preventing tank leaks.
If you’re handy, you can grab a partner and have this sunroom built and ready to enjoy in no time. In fact, several shoppers say that assembling it isn’t as hard as it seems. “Assembly was fairly easy, and many of our neighbors are asking about it and [commenting on] how nice it looks from the back of our house,” one reviewer said. Once it’s up, you can decorate it with some patio furniture like cozy couches, a projector, and a coffee table to build the lounge area of your dreams. The sunroom is so spacious that one couple even installed a playground set for their children inside of it.
While you can open its doors and windows to let fresh air in, if you attach the sunroom to a part of your house with a doorway, you can also let the air conditioning flow in. Additionally, the sunroom is built from tough, durable materials that can handle all seasons. On breezy days, it can withstand winds up to 60 miles per hour, and in the winter, it can handle snow pressure of up to 35 pounds per square foot.

After setting up this sunroom, the possibilities of what to do with it are truly endless. You can set it up as a cozy space for reading or meditation, make it an outdoor family room for meals or grilling with friends, or turn it into a gaming cave for summer get-togethers. Once winter rolls around, you can set it up with a hot tub or a heater for a practical way to enjoy the outdoors in freezing temperatures.
If you’re looking for even more room in your new lounge area, you can grab a kit that’s a bit more spacious for a slightly higher price. The largest sunroom, which covers a square space of 12-by-20 feet, is priced at $4,201, but there are also a few options in between.
You aren’t limited to this sunroom setup, though. Check out a few other kits for sunrooms and solariums at Amazon, and grab one so that you can start living your best life in the shade ASAP.
