3 Season Room

The house had a screened porch (or 3 season room) put on a while back. We love it. The exterior was pretty weathered


The sides of the screen room were in decent shape, they just needed a good stain. We found one that was pretty close to what was on there.


The front side was a different story. The wood was in pretty bad shape and needed to be replaced. We purchased new T-111 and cut them to size. What was on there before was apparently scraps, the previous owner had two different sizes on there and masked the seam with a strip of wood. All of the wood on that side was removed and new, stained wood replaced it. Looks much better now.

I would like to put skirting or some kind of fencing around the bottom. Right now because there is no shed or garage, we use the underside of the screen room for storage. Not very sightly, but it will have to do until we can get a shed.

We are also looking into ideas as to covering the screens in the winter. We tried stapling plastic on the inside, that didn't work too well, especially when it was windy, and we now have tons of staples to remove. When we didn't cover them, we ended up with snow that blew in through them. I will be scouring the internet for ideas!

We should have replaced the screens while the wood was off, they aren't in horrible shape, but there are rips which I will have to repair until we replace them.
