Expand your living space by enclosing an existing porch, patio, deck or gazebo with this new edition from Sunset??s outdoor building experts. It has everything you need to transform open outdoor areas... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I purchased this book in the hope it would cover homes that have the patio already attached to the house with two of the walls. The builder of my home had a patio already built, attached to the back of the house, roof, back and one side wall. I was looking for ideas to enclose the other two walls but the book didn't really cover any designs. Don't get me wrong it's a great book if you are starting from scratch. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to build a detached or attached screen room. It has some great designs and offers a variety of methods to screen.

This book has good information, nice pictures and usable designs for building screened rooms. Excellent "how to" methodology along with lumber specifications, loads and design detail. Best book I've found for screened room subject matter.

A good manual for the intermediate DIY-er

This book helped me to understand that there is much more involved with building a screened porch than I could handle myself. The directions were clear enough that I think any do-it-yourself-er with some experience under her belt could do a fine job. Not as many examples as I would have liked to have seen.
