Screened-in porch advice?
Comments (31)Justgotabme-can't wait to see more pix! Can I ask a silly question? Why did you remove the ceiling? Luckily, we had our porch wired for 2 ceiling fans when we built the house. The electrician looked at us like we were nuts when we requested this, and now we know why-it gets pretty windy out here in the country! :-) But we plan on installing the fans when the porch is screened in. Amysrq=LOVELY porch! I am attempting to google Harvey, and not coming up with much yet....I will keep looking. I am hoping to find a system that will use some really wide panels. Juliekcmo-good idea to screen under the porch, but that would entail pulling all of the boards up......but I will mention it to the contractor! Thanks!

Comments (13)I'll tell ya what not to use- indoor/outdoor carpet. It's in my porch, the house came that way. It is even green. Handy enough covering at the time I suppose, but dang does it trap every last granule of dirt. And I use my porch for a lot of plant at the south side, and there is a built in with dirt surround pond at the north side. They had a hot tub for out there too- very posh. When it was new a couple decades ago. Is this a screened porch in a warm climate that will be open all year? Or do you see winter where snow will get in? Or perhaps if winter climate are you planning on winter panels to put up over the screens? Those will be factors in what kind of flooring is practical in a screened porch....See MoreHow to clean and treat screened porch Douglas fir flooring?
Comments (0)Hi everyone, I'm getting all sorts of different direction on what to do to clean and maintain this porch floor. It's douglas fir tongue and groove (so no gaps). Screened and roofed porch but it is exposed to elements (rain, etc.). I had it installed in 2016 and oiled it at the time with Cabot Arborcoat Oil translucent. I had it redone in 2018/19 (I think the guy powerwashed, sanded and then - after it dried for a while - reoiled with the same Cabot). We want to do it ourselves this year (contractors are charging $1800 to have this done in my neck of the woods!!), but am being told - power wash, don't power wash, wash with vinegar and baking soda and hose, wash with deck cleaner, sand, don't sand.... I have no idea what to do. Can someone tell me best course of action?...See MoreStruggling with open floor plan and open screen porch
