Screened In Porch Systems

This screened patio kit is a "materials supplied" screen room system designed to add beauty and functional 3 season living space to your home. Materials for your kit will either be shipped in their stock length of 24' or, in some cases, may need to be cut down to cut down to 12' lengths to meet carrier maximums. As a DIY product, it is expected that you will need to make final cuts on-site. This includes but is not limited to, beam lengths, post heights, panel widths, side fascia/front gutter lengths and wall system mainframe/u-channel lengths. All material is extruded aluminum and will be supplied in up to 4 different profiles depending on your application. A moderate level of DIY construction experience is recommended.

We will suggest a screen panel width of 29" to 84" wide, depending on the width of your existing openings. We will also lay this out so that the spacing is aesthetically pleasing all the way around. In other words we will avoid having 29" openings on one wall and 42" openings on an adjacent wall. You will receive a drawing from us indicating all the mainframe placements.

• All aluminum extrusions, screen, spline hardware and accessories for the screen enclosure.

• Screen walls frame in White, Sandstone, Wheat, Bronze, or Tan.

• Designed for "on site" final cuts by you! Cut sheet provided.

• Extruded Aluminum Side Fascia and Gutters.

U channels are installed first. They are installed on the top and bottom horizontal surfaces (the floor and underside of the existing structure) and on all vertical surfaces (the house wall or existing posts).

The next step is to install 2" x 2" or 2" x 3" mainframes vertically, with their spacing indicated by red squares in your quotation drawing. If your application does not include a kickplate, you will also use the 2" x 2" frames as horizontal "chair rails" between the verticals.

The 1" x 2" or 1" x 3" mainframes are also used vertically, as indicated by green squares in your quotation drawing. They will be installed in the U channels on the floor and the underside of your roof. If you have opted for the kickplate, they will also cap the top of your kickplate. You are now ready to screen in the opening!

• You are supplied with everything "internal" to your kit. You will need to supply the hardware to attach u-channel to house wall, posts, cement, deck or underside of roof line.

• Sealant / caulking is not supplied.

• Downspout assemblies are not part of this kit.

Your customized and complete patio screen kit is manufactured and shipped right to your door. After that, you'll need tools to cut extruded aluminum and steel and step ladders, screwdrivers, pliers, tape measure, level, carpenter square, caulking gun, pencil, box cutter, chalk line and at least two pairs of hands.

Due to the ongoing pandemic and material shortages, standard leadtimes have extended to 6-8 weeks for most areas and 8-10 weeks in East and North East states. Special order and heavy gauge panels (.032"), may experience and additional 1-2 week leadtime. We will do our best to provide an accurate time line on order to assist with your planning, but these are never guaranteed since there are many variables in the complex supply chain. Full details on receiving the orders can be found on our delivery instructions page. Please also feel free to call us to discuss or for updates at any time.
