Hello Charlene,
Do you have existing porch-stud framing up?
Perhaps you might wish to consider the screen tight system?
We had ours installed in 2015 -with remodel and addition- to our surprise it’s a wonderful system.
It consists of the regular fiberglass mesh screening stuffed into an edge frame sealed with rope like stretchy spline and has a plastic snaps on Tupperware type sealing strip to cover your raw edge.
We just repaired a huge panel after a dog excitement accident. It was pretty easy to work with. We just bought replacement screen + tub of the spline and a hand spline tool and the job was completed without much effort. I would say its diy friendly....at least the repair was. It was far easier than a more old-school staple screen and cover with it with wood —system that we had a prior residence.

Hi. It's always best to check for any restrictions from local authorities before proceeding. After that, if you have no balcony, you will need to build. The easiest way is to purchase a pergola and install attaching to house. Decide if you want the floor and ceiling to be sealed ones or allow air and water to flow. Then it's just a matter of stapling screening in place. Trim the exposed staples with inexpensive trim board. Good luck!
Is there a deck you don’t say .
