 Abstract (Document Summary)

AS WITH most home-improvement projects, the decision to build or screen in a porch or patio is just the beginning of the decisions you have to make. They can be as basic as what kind of screening to use and as frivolous as whether to put a light fixture on the ceiling fan.

Let's start with the screening: What kind of structure you decided to build will have some bearing on the screening and the system used to install it. With a wood-frame structure, the conventional method for attaching the screen was to staple the screening to the studs and then cover the staples with screen molding.

Now you can get a screening system made of plastic, in which the base is nailed or screwed to the studs, the screening is rolled into the base, and a cover is snapped over it. With aluminum frames, the frame itself has a groove to accept the screening.
