Size of screens?!?
Question:We are screening in our 16'x16 porch. We want as unobstructed of a view as possible. It is about 6' off of the ground, so I guess we can't have individual screens that go from floor to ceiling ... don't want the kiddies falling through. I assume we will have framing for the bottom 3 feet. But as far as the upper 5 feet x 16 feet, how large can we safely go with the screens without them losing structural stability? We have some wind ... is that a problem?
Thanks!
Answers:
They make them big enough for garage doors so I think you could safely follow this size chart. I googled insect screen sizes and came upon this.
HOW TO MEASURE FOR YOUR SIZE
•FOR GARAGE APPLICATION- MEASURE GARAGE DOOR TO DETERMINE SIZE.
Measure the garage door itself from the inside. The screen is designed to be installed on the inside door jamb.We will add the additional width needed to attach to your jamb.
•FOR PORCH APPLICATIONS- MEASURE SIZE OF OPENING TO BE SCREENED FROM POST OR WALL TO POST. Call or Fax a sketch of your application and we will help you with the measurements.
•The 9' x 7' and 16' x 7' screens are available for immediate shipping in either the center or 2 side zipper models.
