Front Door Breezeway

[D&BSmith]

Howdy, live in a Marathon style home that has a small entry way. Would like to install screens and a screen door where this is not one now. Does anyone sell the extruded alum rails / screen kits for DIYers?

Thanks,
B&D

Don't know but don't forget to get Architectural Review Committee approval.

T&D Distribution (Wildwood-301 south of the turnpike) as well as White Aluminum carry what you’re looking for.

There’s also Town and Country in Ocala

Check with White Aluminum to compare the difference of them doing it or doing it yourself. They were pretty reasonable on my enclosure which has a seating area which the cat uses to get a different glimpse of life around.

I did exactly what you are think about on a gardenia style home, I used whites Aluminum, 441 Leesburg. At the time (just after Irma) there was very little screening around, and I had to wait a week or 2 for screening. As noted above, get ARC approval before you start your project. Also, be careful about the door opening.

Both Lowe's and Home Depot carry screen doors plus everything you'd need to make your own screens. Making larger screens is maybe not a beginner's project, but it's not rocket science either.

Why not an invisible screen I’ve had one on 3 of the homes I had here much better look then a screen door it doesn’t cover up your main door only use it when you need it

Neither in ours, had to petition (even though I counted at least three driving around the block. How it works;

108 Homes in Villa
75% of households must approve

Guess I walk door to door. Some homes empty, for sale or maybe renters and not the owners available. ARC is sending me a package to petition.

Who did you use?

Just my two cents. After having a retractable screen for the last 7 years, I wish I had installed a traditional storm door, with the top section that slides down to allow the top half to either be screen or glass. That way the front door could be open in the fall/winter months, allowing more light.

If you’re considering a traditional storm door, which doesn’t sound like you are, I’d recommend a Larson Tradewinds Fullview model. I’ve installed four of them for customers. Very well made and durable.

Our retractable was installed by Michelle’s

It's very important to keep the cat happy!!!!!

I saw this CYV in the morning paper "Preowned Homes For Sale" booklet, top of page 26. Looks real nice.

Many of my neighbors have storm doors, screen doors and garage screens and most did this without ARC approval. However that is not the same as enclosing your front porch. See the photos in post #14, I posted those so everyone would know what OP intended to do, he said he wanted to enclose his entry way along with a screen door.

Not talking about the garage door screens I think.
Its the small area outside the front door that cannot be enclosed in our CYV. Someone got the form from ARC but couldnt get the required 75% yes signatures.
And deed restrictions vary between CDDs.

Why would someone object? They look pretty sharp.
