Do you have a porch that you’d love to use year-round, regardless of the weather? Closing a porch can provide you with a cozy and comfortable space where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors while staying protected from the elements.

What tools will you need?

  • Measuring tape
  • Level
  • Drill
  • Screws
  • Screening material (e.g., fiberglass or aluminum)
  • Screen spline
  • Utility knife

Step 1: Measure the porch

The first step is to measure the dimensions of your porch. Use a measuring tape and make note of the height and width of each opening. This information will be important when purchasing your screening material.

Step 2: Prepare the porch

Before attaching the screening material, ensure that your porch is clean and free of any debris. Remove any existing screens or casements, if applicable, and check for any loose screws or nails that need to be tightened or replaced.

Step 3: Install the screening material

Using your measuring tape, cut the screening material to match the dimensions of each opening. Securely attach the material to the frame using a staple gun or screws, ensuring it is taut and wrinkle-free. Trim any excess material using a utility knife.

Step 4: Attach the screen spline

Take the screen spline and gently press it into the groove around the perimeter of the frame, covering the edges of the screening material. Use a screen spline roller or a flat-head screwdriver to press it firmly into place, ensuring a snug fit.

Step 5: Final touches

Inspect the installed screens for any loose areas or potential gaps. If necessary, tighten the screws or reposition the screening material to achieve a secure and flawless finish. Finally, use a level to ensure that everything is aligned properly.

Closing your porch can greatly enhance your enjoyment of this space, providing a comfortable retreat all year long. With a few basic tools and some patience, you can easily complete this DIY project. Remember to measure accurately, install the screening material tightly, and double-check for any imperfections. Soon, you’ll have a porch that you can relax on, no matter the weather!
