How to enclose a 3 season room?
Need suggestions for a 3 season room. It’s a screened enclosed porch & I would like to enclose it somehow due to bad weather conditions- glass enclosure is too expensive for me...any ideas?

In many cities, semi-enclosing a room like this requires a Building Permit, if you cross certain enclosure thresholds.
Please make an anonymous phone call to the City and ask them where to find out more information about this and that will be the Basis of what ideas you can use without crossing over the building code thresholds.
If you have it in writing, that there’s no limits on how much you can enclose this room, then I would design it based on having sliding glass doors with screens on all three sides. That’s the cheapest way to go for operable enclosure glass. All vinyl or aluminum frames.
As you will read in another post here, that enclosing room without any cross glue gable level ventilation is going to be very hot in the summer. Roofing materials & root design will address that.
You can buy acrylic sheets that can be framed to fit your openings. They are a fraction of the cost of glass. I think they come in 4X8 ft. sheets.
