The Professional Approach to Installing a Porch Screen

Not too long ago, there was only one method of installing a screen for a screened-in porch. This old-fashioned method was a cumbersome process which involved attaching screens to porch railings and posts using small tacks, staples, or nails. These fasteners were then covered by wooden lattice strips that served as trim. Nowadays, manufacturers have conceived better screen installation methods that are longer lasting and on the radar of up-to-date screen porch contractors.

When it comes to screened porch materials, Zuri synthetic decking is a popular option. Made by Royal Building Products, it replicates the beauty of natural wood by incorporating grain textures with minimal pattern repetition to make each piece look like a unique piece of hardwood. However, because it emulates this characteristic so well, color variability can make it difficult to decide on what style of Zuri to use for a screened-in porch.
