1 staple screen up under joists.
Do i need a bug screen on the second floor.
In mn the mosquitos are so big they canâ t get between the balusters thatâ s why we went to 4 spacing.
Our contractor added a screened porch to our house 2nd floor but used azec decking for the floor that has space between the boards.
But i see plenty of flies.
Smaller screen panels make better sense than floor to ceiling screen panels.
I m a rookie with this.
Screen on or under the joists works pretty well except for catching falling crud and potential need for replacement over time.
I never see a mosquito not ever though we are close to a few water sources and there are tons of the miserable things on lower floors.
One screen has been damaged by a dog a break about 6 inches wide exists along bottom l 4 of screen.
Hello i will be having a deck built on the ground level on the back of my house beneath my second story deck.
A screened in porch can serve as a second family room.
Replacing a window screen from the inside is a common and straightforward process especially for windows on a second story level.
May we get an estimate and can you do the work on site.
There are 3 or 4 solutions some already mentioned.
That means you might not need to toss it and spend money on a new one if you have a bed bug infestation.
3 build screened frames to screw up under floor system my favorite but by far the most labor intensive.
2 staple screen on top of joists and then apply decking my least favorite but common in new construction.
Just for interest s sake i live on the 10th floor.
I see the odd bee and some wasp.
Obviously you need tight joints elsewhere.
I picked up a few hundred feet of 4 bug screen and i will first apply a layer top and bottom then my strapping and then staple the bug screen on top of the strapping making the air gap hopefully bug free.
Removing the screen open the glass window completely from the inside.
I ve got my wbb on the house and would like to apply my 3 8 strapping to create and airgap.
Bed bugs travel only by hitchhiking on clothes or other fabric.
Howevever it just crossed my mind that can t the bugs simply fly up between the floorboards.
So we need something under that decking floor to keep bugs out of the screen porch.
First time building a rainscreen.
Frames can be removed for cleaning.
I decided to have the contractor screen it in to keep out the mosquitos.
