Can concrete patio be screened?

12 years ago

We have a concrete patio on the back of our house. It already has a roof and is enclosed on two sides by our house. We would like to have the remaining two sides screened in, but we are unsure if or how this would be done. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

are you planning to do the work yourself? we framed on top of the concrete(used special drill)...there are screenkits i've seen on diy or hgtv...bet if you take pictures of existing structure to your local center they will probably be able to help you...
