Are you tired of insects invading your open areas? If yes, so was our client from Naples, Mr. Bellestri. That’s why he called us to screen-in his undertruss screen enclosure.

It was a complex project because it’s not your standard screen enclosure. We hard to custom notch around the architectural columns, as shown in the photo. For the other areas, there was not enough space between the railing and column to mount the screen, so we had to build it behind the columns.

Despite the challenges, we were still able to get the job done. We used Superscreen 17/20 or No-See-Ums. It’s thicker and tighter than a standard screen, which is why it seems dark. But don’t worry! It doesn’t change the outward visibility, which you can see in this photo. Our client was glad that we were able to complete this project in less than two days. He won’t have to worry about bugs invading his home anymore!
