Choosing Screen for Pets and Bugs
Pet-resistant screen, finer no-see-um mesh and solar screen each solve a different problem.
Building a New Screened Porch
A new screened porch needs a roof, foundation and frame built for screens from the start.

Ceiling fans and lighting make a screened porch usable through hot summer evenings.

Screened Porch Installation Services: Common Questions
Can my existing patio be screened in Texas?
Often, if the roof and posts are sound. A framed screen system goes between the posts.
What screen is best for pets?
Pet-resistant screen is much tougher than standard fiberglass mesh.
Do I need a permit to screen a porch?
It depends on the city and scope; screening an existing porch may not need one, but new roofs usually do.
Will rain get into a screened porch?
Wind-driven rain can blow in, so floors should slope and furniture should be outdoor-rated.
