Individual service
Remove one panel
Clean, repair or replace mesh in one section without disturbing every opening.
Custom rolled-aluminum panels
Removable screen panels for serviceable wood porches.
Each panel is built for its opening and can be removed individually for cleaning, repair or mesh replacement without rebuilding the entire porch enclosure.
More completed panel projects
Removable panels can fit a variety of porch layouts.
Completed local project
Removable panels fitted around an existing wood porch.
This completed Wendell installation shows how individual panels can enclose the openings around an existing porch rail while keeping the wood structure visible.

Where they work well
A practical approach for many wood-framed porches.
Removable panels are commonly used on wooden porches with wooden rails. The rolled-aluminum frame creates a finished panel around the selected mesh while keeping future service straightforward.
Custom fit
Built for the opening
Finished panel dimensions are evaluated for the opening, frame, mesh and installation conditions.
Mesh choice
Multiple screen options
Select visibility, small-insect, durability, pet-resistant or solar-control mesh where compatible.
Clean exterior plane
Mounting-strip method
A 1×2 wood strip may be added to create a consistent plane so the panels sit flush across the porch exterior.
Installation sequence
Measured, fabricated and installed panel by panel.
- Evaluate the porch
Review wood framing, rails, mounting surfaces and opening conditions. - Confirm materials
Select frame color and the screen mesh that fits the project. - Build each panel
Roll and screen the aluminum frame for its measured opening. - Install and verify
Fasten panels cleanly and confirm individual service access.
When another system may fit better
Very large openings need individual evaluation.
Mesh roll width is not the only limit. Finished panel dimensions also depend on frame construction, opening size, wind exposure and mounting conditions. Extruded-aluminum or ScreenEZE systems may be more appropriate for some large openings.
