How do I re-do my back porch?
we have a screened in back porch with a fire place. It’s on a concrete slab and is boring. Our golden retriever puppy has busted on the screens on the bottom some so it needs replacing. I’m wondering what would work best for flooring? Also, should we remove the screens and keep it open? Or look into closing it in? Is there something that will reinforce the bottom screens so my dog can run right through them?

Hello, they make rubber tiles that lock together like a puzzle so they are easy to put down and come in many colors and as far as the screen bottom you could attach open weave metal screen over the regular screen. It would be decorative and stop your dog.
