And so no lonely mosquito could get in, I stapled screening under the 12 by 18' deck.... here's the pic.
Everything is mahogany, the door is 1 1/8" thick mahogany - as well as the side panels that run floor to ceiling beside the door.
There are 15 premeasured panels in the porch, aluminum frame and screen that were custom ordered.
Everthing is screwed in with either stainless steel or brass. The panels - the last close - up are hand screwed together with brass screws and grommets, for easy removal and take down for winter.
This was my first "construction" type project, and the deck railing was a first for me - I hired another contractor to help me with that. The screen porch portion felt more like cabinetmaking, and I most likely made it more complicated than it had to be, but the results were worth it.
I know that I haven't been around, but I do check in here. Lots of good stuff going on over here.
Thanks!
