Good Day:
I am looking at different screen systems for a no frame approach to porch screening. Anyone out there have any recommendations? My porch is 8 x 20 and has new 36″ high rails.
thanks
Handy Dan

The aluminum "patio" structures are the norm around here. You get the aluminum in anything from 1x2 that is used against another member to the basic 2x2 and up to structural pieces that can be 2x8 or even 2x10, usually as a 2 piece "c" shaped unit that gets screwed together.
That allows you to hide the screws in a butt joint.
