My front porch is 24'x7'. I want to screen in my front porch to keep the animals and bugs out and I'm not sure where to begain. Do I have the screens made or can I do them myself? Do I put plywood over my railing? (I don't want to loose much light) Open for any suggestions.

Hi Burrell, making a screened in porch is a fairly simple project, the screen is sold in rolls and available in 2' and 4' widths. So all that you need to do is create frames in the appropriate width around your porch and tack the screen to the frames, then cover the tacks with thin wood or metal to cover the tacks and seams. If your not quite comfortable with this kind of project you might be better off with a prefab kit, so click here InstaScreen. Good luck!
