Deck Enclosures Screened In Porch

Screen Porch Kits to Custom Built Screen Porch Ideas

The term deck enclosures screened in porch is often associated with screen porch kits or other building options that you can install over an existing deck or patio.

No matter which method you choose, building a screened porch over your deck or patio is relatively easy. It is also cost effective because you already have the floor in place.

Screen Porch on Deck or Patio Tips

• Make sure your deck or patio is in good repair. There's no sense in going to the trouble and cost of building a screened porch if your deck won't last several more years.
• Even if your deck flooring is in good shape, your joists and posts may not be. It's a really good idea to check for rotting posts or dry rot on your joists. If you do encounter issue, make the necessary repairs first.
• Consider updating your deck flooring if it appears worn or is cracking, etc. You have lots of flooring options from replacing your existing flooring or opting for interlocking deck tiles - an amazing product your should investigate.
• You'll have to determine if you will keep your railings or opt for other options like floor to ceiling screen panels.
• My favorite option are screen porch windows - another great product that I wish had been available years ago. Saves a lot of aggravation, extends your outdoor time, and are so easy to install.
• If installing over a concrete patio you have other flooring options also. Not only will interlocking deck tiles work perfectly over concrete, you can also stain or stamp your concrete floor to give it a fantastic look.
