If you live in an area where bugs are a constant nuisance, investing in a screened in porch can allow you to enjoy nice weather and sun without having to settle with bug bites. However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind prior to installing your new screened in porch. First, you need to have exact measurements of the area to be screened in. In order for your porch to be protected against insects, it is important that the screens are attached firmly to the frame around your porch. If you do not have a frame in place around your porch, you will need to install one.

If you are starting from scratch on your screened in porch project, the most critical part of your new porch will be the frame that the screens are mounted to. A sturdy, well built frame will ensure that the screens are capable of withstanding wind, snow and rain. In the case of wind, the windier the region you live in, the sturdier the frame must be. If snow accumulation is an issue in the winter, you will need to ensure that the overhang of your porch extends out further than the screens. This will help ensure that built up snow does not break through your screens during the winter. In many cases, your screened in porch will only be as effective as the frame that you install for it, so it is really important that you do not cut corners when you are picking the materials for the frame and installing it. The installation process of a frame for a screened in porch is fairly simplistic, so long as you remember that the frame must be flush against the overhang and your home. This is important, as bugs can enter through even the smallest of cracks between the frame and your home.

Once your frame is installed for your screened in porch, you will need to invest in your screen. This is often a difficult process, as there are hundreds of different types of screens available. There are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First, the larger the screen, the higher the chance that small, annoying bugs can slip into your screened in porch. However, the smaller the holes in the screen, the less air can freely move through the screen. It will be important for you to determine how large you wish the holes in your screen to be. Smaller holes are also better able to stop rain from entering the porch if you wish to be outside while it is raining.

Like with your frame, it is important that your screen is attached flush so that there are no cracks for bugs to enter in.
