Regardless of your motivation, screening in your deck is a simple and worthwhile venture. Let this article take you step by step through the process, and begin enjoying your deck today. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Measure the distance between the posts holding up your roof. Add 3 inches to each side of the measurement for your final screen segment width.
2. Cut the screen segments according to your measurement from Step 1 using the shears. Cut the full number of screen pieces--for however many gapes there are--all at once to save time.
3. Attach one side of the screen to one post by sandwiching the screen between the post and an appropriately sized 2-by-4 and screwing down tight. Perform the same operation for the other side of the screen and the roof until all sides of the screen are securely fastened. Perform Steps 1 through 3 until the entire deck is completely screened in.
