- Metal – Extremely versatile and the most common choice, but it can rust depending on humidity and rainfall.

- Fiberglass – A softer material but doesn’t rust like metal.
- Extra-fine fiber glass – More visible (see-through) than regular fiberglass.
Weatherproof floor
A screened in porch and weather proof flooring goes hand in hand. Depending on the choice of screen type, rain may find it’s way in through water vapor, humidity, or harsh weather conditions. Tile, brick, concrete, and certain wood type flooring are your best bet to avoid water damage and protect your screened in porch.
Functionality
Just like a deck, it’s important to have a good understanding of your overall purpose for a screened in porch. Are you looking for the perfect entertainment spot, nature oasis, or maybe a private reading area?

Climate
Climate is also an important thing to consider with any screened in porch or deck build. Luckily, Clarksville has one of the best climates in the United States.

In the case of any colder winters, you can opt to have removable glass screen panels installed as well, to allow extra sunlight in during the day.
