A DIY Screen Porch Kit

Avoid These Pitfalls
When Purchasing a Screen Porch Kit

• Avoid kits made from low-quality materials as they may not withstand the elements or provide the durability you need. Look for kits that use weather-resistant materials such as aluminum, vinyl, or pressure-treated wood.
• Avoid kits that are either too small or too large for your porch area. Additionally, check if the design aligns with the architectural style of your home including your traffic patterns and placement of door(s).
• Avoid kits that lack proper reinforcements. Kits should be structurally strong to withstand wind, rain, and other weather conditions.
• Avoid kits that are overly complicated to install, especially if you prefer a simpler DIY approach.
• Avoid kits that lack a warranty or have poor customer service, as this could cause problems if you encounter any issues during or after installation. Research how the manufacturer handles problems or backs warranties.
• Avoid kits that don't offer proper airflow or adequate options for natural or artificial lighting. Proper ventilation and lighting can add much comfort to your outdoor room.
