How can I make/install a splatter guard for screened in porch?
Rain, dust and dirt come in the bottom of our screened in porch. Any ideas of something I can put on the inside or outside of the screen to prevent this from happening?

Inexpensive and attractive way to prevent rain entering screened porch
Retractable Awnings
Plastic Sheets
Removable Storm Windows (my favorite)
Permanent Storm Windows
Plastic sheets with a dowel attached to the bottom to hold them in place.
4 mil clear plastic sheeting along the bottom.
I would also check your gutters around your screened in porch that they aren't clogged and if you don't have them around it, install them! Not having working gutters will also cause a complete mess as well as well as creating problems with water building in areas that you don't want. The other home talkers have great ideas as well.
Hang rods on the outside where the rain, etc comes in, then attach clear shower curtains that extend beyond the floor. Keep them closed when not in use, slide them back when you want air. If needed attach weights to the bottom of the shower curtains.
Does it come in from underneath? If so, you can see if you can find a rubber toe kick that you can attach to the outside of the door, at the bottom, to prevent things from coming under. I found this online https://www.worthingtondirect.com/science-tables/100283-rubber-mold-for-base-cabinets-sold-by-the-foot.htm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=productsearch&utm_campaign=product&cvsfa=3384&cvsfe=2&cvsfhu=3338313039&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvoqQ4Zap6AIViMDICh2EowFxEAQYBCABEgIqsPD_BwE, but if you went to a home improvement store and looked by the doors they may have something more suited
I agree with William, I would install a hard plastic sheeting on the bottom. I would screw it into the pillars or supports between the screens.
Hello. Have you considered building a small wooden wall a foot or two high? That was one of our choices when we built our screen porch.
Plastic or wood at the bottom seems like the best solution.
