How do I Build a Screened Sun Porch?

Purchase a sun room kit online or from a local home repair store, if you do not have an open air porch already attached to your home. Follow the instructions provided with the sun room kit by assembling and mounting the walls, roof, windows, and door.

Measure openings in open air porch to fit window screens, if you wish to modify the existing porch into a screened in sun room.

Purchase the appropriate size window screens to fit the measured openings. Purchase hook screws and eye screws. You will need four sets of each for each screen.

Tap eye screws to existing pillars or beams on the porch where the four corners of each screen will be with a hammer then screw them in by sliding the screwdriver through the eye and turning it clockwise.

Attach hook screws to the four corners of each window screen frames in the same manner. Hang screens one at a time by inserting the hooks on each corner into the corresponding eye screws attached to the porch.
