How to screen in a porch

[@gundersonflooringanddesign4064]

Dude that was a hell of a day screen work! Those landscapers are my nemesis. Always running their machines while I'm trying to have a nice peaceful screen day. But we all got our work to do.

[@billburkhalter411]

Great video!! I would suggest getting a taller ladder seeing you lean off the ladder reminds me of a year ago on only a 4 foot ladder when I needed a 6 footer. I landed on carpet and broke my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff. Also look at the craftsman type multi-cut cutters on e-bay for $30 uses leverage to easily snip right through that plastic. Also check out on the screen tight video of the inside extruded aluminum rail system that is best for high or second story decks where you don't need a ladder. I learned a lot from this thanks for posting!!!

[@andyedgington6126]

Pruning shears worked great for me when cutting the base and base cap. Looks great!

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. The hack saw worked really well too. I got lucky on the measurements. The vertical track didn't need to be cut!

[@larryrexroth4195]

I will be doing mine soon Thanks for the good tips awesome video

[@andy-jac]

I really enjoyed your video. Great job. I've only done one of these this year. Dogs tear the hell out of them so you'll probably get some repeat business. A lot of handymen charge $3 - $5 a square foot, including materials. I tend to go by knowledgeable estimated time and trouble, and have the customer pay for the materials.

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks. Good to hear your take on it

[@dee.hunter]

I liked your video. It was a really good balance between showing and explaining. Thanks.

[@marinablueGS]

Thanks for posting....learned some things today! Hope you are still doing handyman things, I notice it's been a while. Liked and subbed!

[@ruvinasylvester4269]

Thank you very much for posting the video Big Brother! Learnt a lot.

[@mjgoodlow]

Great Job Bro! Looks good!

[@micahlyon74]

Thank you for the most helpful video possible. This is exactly what I needed to know.

[@melanatedchakra4626]

That looks amazing n you taught me how to do this myself cause I going to do this ty

[@rfpeace]

you're really progressing! You made that one look way too easy... cheers!

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks!

[@nomadryder4377]

Good stuff, will be tackling mine in a week. Only thing is i gotta frame the entire thing first. And she's 10ft from floor to top post.

[@johnmorgan1313]

That turned out great 👍 never seen it done. But after watching you, I think I'm ready. I have done all my windows with solar screens, but this is a much larger scale.

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

It's really not hard at all. You can do it!

[@crissykayyexpressions111]

Could you name all of the items that were used here?

[@jethrowbowdeen]

Looks like your still doing your thing big dog. Also congrats on the service truck. I wasn't a big fan of Ford back in the day but I know every year on there trucks and Mustangs there built better and better. With routine maintenance you'll get well over 300,000 miles out of that motor. Nice job

[@CravinMorehead420]

Built many pool cages/screen rooms here in Florida. Looks good and tight..

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks!

Beautiful ❤

[@joseaguilarscreenrite6618]

I do window and porch screens and i always recommend my clients to stay away from that screen install method. Screens get very loose and floppy over time with that screen tight stuff.. if you get direct sun the caps end up bowing, overall not a great install method. He did it right but the materials are a no no.

[@mmgrevenenterprises5625]

Do you suggest applying screen to the inside instead of outside of railing?

[@petethehandyman9185]

Nice job! Nice clean install

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks Pete!

[@maggiemay7040]

Wow, how much screening and spline did you use? I have a 10 x 30 covered porch that is currently open on the 2 10 ft and the 30 ft sides. I wondered how much material I needed to get.

[@mortiz5948]

Great Job!!!

[@JonathanClarke-jw1pt]

Awesome job! Me and my wife were looking for a easy way to screen in our porch and we are definitely going to get this product , can you tell me where to purchase it and what it is called ?

[@jordinhassen]

What are all the things called ? Like just the staples on the screen and the things the screen goes into

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

The screen goes in a track system. All the parts are sold at home depot and lowes. Should be easy to find

[@MyDIYAdventures]

Who wants a screened in porch when it’s 95° out? I’d be inside in the AC! Great job though! You got that done quick!

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks! It went really well

[@GL1TCHEGAMES]

Very useful

[@mallorie4436]

Do you use the spline both horizontal and vertical on all the tracks

[@bryanoard50]

Nice screen job brother!

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks Bryan

[@pedrobastos3218]

Good job Iol

[@mkaesberger]

You are very informative and you do good work, what state do you live in I would love to use you to do some projects. You are awesome and you don’t overcharge

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thank you so much! I'm in South Carolina

[@25258721]

Great video!

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks Terry!

[@jfrostcvl5]

Looks good man so what's is the round about charge for a project like this?

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

I charged $700. I supplied the everything but the door

[@jfrostcvl5]

@@adventuresofahandyman4446 so 700 included the materials?

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

@@jfrostcvl5 yes

[@sammyelliott5554]

Looks good. Very proficient. Lots of up and down on the ladder. $500.00 ?

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

$700 is what I charged. I supplied everything but the door

[@spicynomad]

why did you screen it from the outside of the porch instead of the inside?

[@yadayadayada4674]

I was wondering that also.

[@jimmyalvarez6213]

ive seen people add a track to the chair rail, do you think that is overkill?

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

I guess it all depends. This was for an older couple with no pets. Kids and pets are hard on screening so the extra support may be helpful in that situation

[@BrentDarlington]

Too hot for me! Great job

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Me too! I've had enough heat for this year. Thanks!

[@debretaevans8049]

Got a real pretty dress there you just put a slip on top of it

[@annabrown6782]

What was the total cost of materials?

[@cherylorlando974]

Great job, one thought, maybe run the screen on the inside of railings would be more Aesthetically pleasing

[@adanr150]

Where did you buy the screen tracks and cover

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Home depot

[@likearockcm]

Nice work !! Screens can be a real pain in the ass,sometimes.

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Thanks! Definitely easier with 2 people

[@logisticsasp7600]

what material is the screen made of?

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

I'm not sure honestly. It's a woven type cloth. I bought it at Home depot

[@debretaevans8049]

White dress black slip

[@debretaevans8049]

Should be on the inside not the outside

[@brandyhawking7908]

I heard very good opinions about the Woodglut plans.

[@debretaevans8049]

I don't like it on the outside

[@adventuresofahandyman4446]

Well, you're the only person I've ever heard say they like it on the inside. To each his own I guess.

[@YvonneLashmett]

@@adventuresofahandyman4446 Having the screen on the outside allows a shelf on the inside.

[@buffal1000]

What a horrible presentation. The majority of this is on fast-forward, without narration. So you don't hear him explain what he's doing ashe does it. What's the point of having an instructional video if the doesn't tell us how and what HE'S DOING! AWFUL

[@mjgoodlow]

You should watch the video again. Great job Sir!

[@taniabrunson73]

I followed this quite fine and thought it was very well explained. I would do my own but my porch is much too high off the ground.
