This is innovation at its finest! Check out these customer-submitted photos of  DIY screened-in patios using screen doors to create an enclosure.

How to Screen a Porch, Patio or Deck Using Screen Doors

1. Simply frame in your porch structure with measurements that match the doors you are using.
2. Mount the doors to the posts.

This rose garden patio features our Summit screen door design used as screened french doors.

These doors feature the same design as the enclosure to create a consistent pattern and seamless design. In addition to the assembled Summit model, our Woodcraft screen door with the Summit Insert can accomplish this look as well.
