Screen tight system is quality made!

Would Recommend

5/25/22: used on three sides of 8'x40' long porch. Well made and solid product, yet easy to trim to fit. Top & bottom pieces snap together very tightly to hold the screen taut. We used the regular "TuffScreen" screen (hoping it will last longer) and our installer said they snapped together a little harder than using the basic screen. He used a 10" long piece of 2x4 to tap them in place using a rubber mallet. Getting our porch ready to install the screen kit is what took the longest. This was our...

Screened in patio before and after

Would Recommend

Worked really well, I used pet screen with a .175 spline. Check out the pics, went with the bronze cap because it was the darkest they offer at this time.

channels do not fit the covers

Would Not Recommend

very poor quality- the cover trim should snap into the channels and they do not, The channels are not even we had to end up using screws to hold them into place and looks very cheap. I emailed the company no response, they claim to provide a 5 year warranty.

Best value for the money! tightens right up!

Would Recommend

Great flexibility for my porch! I used aluminum for other parts and used this over 1/4 inch truss plates. Yes, it CAN be used with Pet Screen. I used .150 spline- had to buy elsewhere. It tightens great and i used hex heds to bolt down. Whoever is writing bad reviews doesnt know how to install screen. This is awesome for a 20x3 ft triangle. And YES, i dropped and smashed my iPhone12 pro taking these pictures. Ahh, the price i paid. Sad emoji.

Excellent screen system

Would Recommend

This is an excellent screen system, easy to install and great results. Watch some videos to get ideas on how to install. I would recommend GRK cabinet screws 8 x 1-1/4 instead of drywall screws. I pre-drilled with a #45 (.092) drill, but that might be overkill. Would highly recommend.
