Greetings tommymargot,
My name is Tom, known here in the community as HD116. I have wonderful news for you! The people at Screen Tight have developed one of the most innovative systems for installing a screen porch I have seen, and best of all it is affordable. All you need can be purchased at your local store, and you will only need the following:
1. Screen Spline
2. Screen Tight Base and Cap
3. Rubber Mallet
4. Pruning Shears, Tin Snips or Vinyl Cutting Shears
5. Screening Tool (I recommend the Screen Tight Roller Knife)
6. Screw gun, Drill or Screwdriver
Installation is easy for even a novice DIYer as seen in this video Home Depot created for the system.
I think you will find the system to be ideal for your conversion, and ask that you take before and after pictures of your project to share with other community members. Welcome to the community where we love to see pictures of completed projects!
