    • This is what we were looking for, and at a great price used.
We are gathering information to build a deck and screened porch on the back of our home. My husband is very skilled at DIY projects, but he wanted something that would show some diagrams of construction layouts and give some helpful information on the construction basics. While this book doesn't give you a one-size-fits-all plan to build our exact project, it covers enough of the construction techniques. Now he will be able to at least look up what he still has a question about. It also has, of course, many lovely project photos for inspiration. I was glad to find a used copy because this is the kind of book you only need for a limited period of time. ... show more

    • If you are considering building a screened gazebo or screening in your porch, check this out. Good ideas and instructions
Great book, lots of good ideas, lots of detail on how to build the screen rooms, I enjoyed it and it will be on my shelf for years for reference.

    • Too general but ok for $10
This book is ok if you just want to look at pictures & get some ideas. It's way too general to use as a planning/construction guide, but for 10 bucks I didn't expect much else.

    • Design a screen room.
I purchased this book in the hope it would cover homes that have the patio already attached to the house with two of the walls. The builder of my home had a patio already built, attached to the back of the house, roof, back and one side wall. I was looking for ideas to enclose the other two walls but the book didn't really cover any designs. Don't get me wrong it's a great book if you are starting from scratch. I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to build a detached or attached screen room. It has some great designs and offers a variety of methods to screen. ... show more

    • Just what my husband was looking for!
Got this for my husband because he was planning to cover and screen in our existing deck. He really liked all the different projects in the book...gazebos, etc. He found the diagrams and explanations helpful. Might not be enough info if you're not already a seasoned DIY'er.

    • Dreamy ideas for backyard renovations
Sunset's book about screen rooms gave us the inspiration and advice we needed to launch our own screen room project this fall. We are now enjoying our new screen room, thanks in part to ideas we gathered from this book.

    • Full of bugs
Full of bugs. I do not want to risk getting bed bugs or other bugs in my house so this went straight to the dumpster.

    • Not useful if you actually want to screen in a porch
I would like to screen in an existing porch and I found very little useful information in this book. If you want pictures of screened porches or very general information then this book would be ok. If you actually want to screen in a porch yourself, keep looking, this book will not help.
