Attempting to convert Rear Patio into enclosed porch
Started my DIY project about 6-7 months after seeing a few DIY yotubers enclose their patio with 2x4s, trim, and the EZ screen system. Everything has been straight forward except I have a brick column on my patio instead of wood. The surface is uneven causing gaps with the 2x4 and it has fasica trim in the way up top that I'll have to trim to enclose the patio properly. On one side you can see I cut a piece of the fascia trim for the 2x4 for fit properly. But on the other side, the header is in the middle. If I notch out a spot for the 2x4 I will be blocking the side of the 2x4 that the ez screen system needs to screw in to. I'm thinking of adding fascia board that runs the length of the brick column first, then installing the 2x4 on top. I'm not sure if this would be proper way to do this, but I'm looking for any feedback that can put me in the right direction. submitted by /u/frzmittenz [link] [comments]
