Lanai & Porch Screening in Sarasota, FL
Screening in a lanai or porch turns an open patio into a bug-free outdoor room without adding solid walls. It's a different job than a pool cage — usually a flatter structure attached directly to the house — but it uses the same aluminum framing and screen materials.
What makes lanai screening different
A lanai or porch enclosure is typically lower and flatter than a pool cage, attached along one or more sides to the house itself rather than standing free around a pool. It often includes a screen door for entry and exit, and the framing has to tie in cleanly to the existing roof edge or patio cover.
What the work involves
The process starts with framing the opening — attaching aluminum beams to the house structure and any support posts needed — then setting screen panels into a spline channel the same way as a pool cage. Standard fiberglass mesh is the usual choice, with a tighter no-see-um weave available where finer insects are more of a nuisance.
