Do I Need A Bug Screen On The Second Floor
May we get an estimate and can you do the work on site.
Do i need a bug screen on the second floor. Frames can be removed for cleaning. 2 staple screen on top of joists and then apply decking my least favorite but common in new construction. Our contractor added a screened porch to our house 2nd floor but used azec decking for the floor that has space between the boards. Howevever it just crossed my mind that can t the bugs simply fly up between the floorboards.
Bed bugs travel only by hitchhiking on clothes or other fabric. 1 staple screen up under joists. There are 3 or 4 solutions some already mentioned. Replacing a window screen from the inside is a common and straightforward process especially for windows on a second story level.
But i see plenty of flies. I picked up a few hundred feet of 4 bug screen and i will first apply a layer top and bottom then my strapping and then staple the bug screen on top of the strapping making the air gap hopefully bug free. A screened in porch can serve as a second family room. So we need something under that decking floor to keep bugs out of the screen porch.
Screen on or under the joists works pretty well except for catching falling crud and potential need for replacement over time. What are some solutio. I ve got my wbb on the house and would like to apply my 3 8 strapping to create and airgap. In mn the mosquitos are so big they canâ t get between the balusters thatâ s why we went to 4 spacing.
Just for interest s sake i live on the 10th floor. Smaller screen panels make better sense than floor to ceiling screen panels. Removing the screen open the glass window completely from the inside. I see the odd bee and some wasp.
Hello i will be having a deck built on the ground level on the back of my house beneath my second story deck. One screen has been damaged by a dog a break about 6 inches wide exists along bottom l 4 of screen. Such as the need to build a roof over an open deck or patio. 3 build screened frames to screw up under floor system my favorite but by far the most labor intensive.
The second screen occupies the bottom half of the back door and is almost completely gone and would need to be replaced. I never see a mosquito not ever though we are close to a few water sources and there are tons of the miserable things on lower floors. That means you might not need to toss it and spend money on a new one if you have a bed bug infestation. I decided to have the contractor screen it in to keep out the mosquitos.
