Screen Porch Kits
Using porch awnings to make
a portable screened porch
One option to enclose your porch is to purchase screen porch kits that allow you to use porch awnings to create a screen porch.
Pretty neat! Sunsetter has an option like this.
This is similar to a portable screened porch that Mary and I had when we lived in New Hampshire.
It allowed us to have a screen porch for part of the year and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Was almost like having a room addition on our home.
Porch awnings converted into a portable screen porch
Screen porch kits are relatively easy, portable and inexpensive compared to a custom design.
Here's how it works
- The awning fabric acts as the roof of the screen enclosure to prevent insects from accessing your new room.
Optional floors are available to prevent them from coming through your deck.
- The unit is almost maintenance free - no rust, rotting, or discoloring.
It installs easily to the awning and can be removed quickly.
- The screen panels can come with a zippered opening for a portable doorway on your porch.
- You can enjoy time on your porch without bugs. Who doesn't like that?
- This is a neat idea for those who want the benefit of a screened room but don't want a permanent structure or the costs associated with them.
It's portable in that you can take it with you if you move.

panels to make a screened porch.
Other options for enclosing your porch
You can purchase weather panels that attach to existing awnings.
Weather panels help break the wind and light rain. They attach to your fully extended awning.
You can attach just one panel or several. The panels can be quickly removed.
Don't let a little drizzle or wind keep you from enjoying yourself.
We hear even the shipping is free. Looks like a pretty nice option.
