I am sure it would work with aluminum if it would work with lumber (of course, I've never done this myself, but it sure does make me want to save my money and do it NEXT summer out back of my place, and aluminum would be the way I would want to go too ... less expensive, I hope). So I am posting the link to the Family Handyman website that has the Frame Details listed, but I will continue my search for plans using strictly aluminum and I will post the, m IF I find them. Until then I hope this can be of help to you. :)
Hi Dude, I cannot find any instructions for DIY patio screen rooms from scratch but there are several sites where they SELL the ALUMINUM DIY screen room KITS (like at Home Depot, and ScreenHousesUnlimited, to name two of them). I would check with local code laws before starting though to make sure you are in compliance ;)
...... if you don't mind buying a kit, check Menard's and Lowe's too, to compare prices vs. quality before buy. Anyway, good luck Dude! I really hope it all works out well for you :)
