Default Screens

If you have the framework up then you can buy the screen channeling at Lowes and do it yourself.
I rebuilt my porch leaving only the roof, I replaced all the decking and placed all my 4X4 supports at 48inches on center which allowed for a standard width screen to be installed.
All the materials and detailed instructions can be found in the same area. It really wasn't hard at all, but if your not mechanically inclined your not.
I figure I saved myself at least a $1000.00 and it still cost me $400 for the parts.
Good luck either way
