- You can also choose an optional pre-installed pet door, available in small, medium or large. Explore our pet door options.

- Should you choose not to install a kick-plate, we will supply enough 1708 – 2″ x 2″ mainframe for you to use between verticals as a chair rail. Install this at whatever height you wish. Have a seat in your favorite chair and install it at a height that does not interfere with your site-lines.
- When you submit your request for quotation we will put together, not only the cost for materials, but a drawing of your application with our suggested spacing of verticals – – the size of screen panels that you will be creating. Generally, they will range from 32″ to 60″ wide panels and it will depend on the entire scope of your project.
The manufacturer reserves the right to send material that is longer/wider than ordered.
As a DIY application, the customer will make the final cuts of all porch screening materials on site to achieve the desired finished size.
