We are having such a terrible time trying to find options for converting under the deck to a porch area. We would like to screen in the area, since it is a walkout area. We live in Minnesota, so it would be nice to have an area that is screened in. Problem...this type of thing has not been done to often around here. We have been to Home Depot and ******* and contacted several contractors, but no one seems to understand quite what we would like. Simply this...convert the area underneath the deck (12' x 20' x 9') into a screened in porch with a screen door. I can not find plans for this anywhere. I did not want the project to cost as much as we are quoted. One area of concern is whether to put footings in or not. We prefer the paver look, but then we do not have the availability of a footing to build a wall to. We looked at some screen porch kits where the base just anchors into the ground, but that too is quite expensive. Do anyone out there have any ideas or opinions on how to create something like this? Thanks in advance. |
