Decks, Patios, Porches and Docks - I would like to screen in my entry way, have questions

My entry way outside of my front door is about 4 feet wide, and 16 feet high, totally rectangular. Many of my neighbors have their entry ways screened in with a screen door.

This project doesn't seem to hard to do, but where do I start? My house is stucco over block, so that is what the frame will need to attach to.

I've googled "screen door kits" and "screen in entry way", all kinds of things and I'm not having any luck. Where can I get a kit, or what pieces do I need to do this? I just need a place to start. I saw a youtube video on how to add screen to the screen door, so I think I'm okay with that. I just need to know about the frame (all the part minus the door).

thanks

Around here, patios, entryways, and pool cages are done with aluminum extrusions and fiberglas screen. Not sure where you would find the extrusions retail, but this is what they look like:

The open channels on the edges of the material take the roll-in screen spline.

Thanks for the reply. I think that is just what I was looking for.

arctanx,

Your biggest problem will be finding a retail source for the extrusions. I install a product similar to what the_tow_guy posted, but all of my suppliers will only sell to their authorized installers. Without a contractor's license, you're out of luck becoming one.

Check your local Yellow Pages under Patio Contractors (or similar) to find an installer.

But they are installers -- they CAN'T sell you the product and allow you to DIY.
