Screened porch....fiberglass or aluminum screen?
Comments (12)An interesting product...some of you may not know what I'm talking about but we have no see ums in Illinois. Especially on a lake. Nasty little biting bugs. Here is a product that has a smaller size to keep out those pesky critters! I wonder how much the visibility is actually reduced. http://www.wholesalescreensandglass.com/Phifer-NoSeeUm-Aluminum-Insect-Screen.html...See Moreconvert screened in porch to four season room
Comments (3)In your climate no "conversion" is possible unless you have vast sums on-hand to pay to heat it. I live 5 hours south of you. I have 24 inches of crawl, 10 inches of batt insulation under the floor, my "sunroom" is still 8 degrees cooler than the rest of the house. Upon purchase my instinct was to demo the room and build again from scratch. Unfortunately, I did not heed myself and now deeply regret it....See MoreScreening, sidings other options for screen porch awkward area?

Comments (4)well the first 4 feet is behind a pergola post..so that will be the first panel..then i'm starting my door which is 3 feet...then the other panels will start after that at 7 feet from the edge...so I will have 16 feet left. I could do two 8 foot panels or roughly three 5 foot ones? The 8 would be more open...See MoreFun2BHere
