DIY Screened Porch (When You Don't Have a Screened Porch!)

When we moved to Savannah last summer, I quickly realized that screened porches are a necessity in Georgia. The bugs are ha-yuge! Sadly, our military quarters lacked a screened porch. We did, however, have a small covered porch out back.
Since this was a project that needed to be temporary and easily removable (i.e. renter friendly), I came up with the idea of DIY'ing a screened porch.

    Hello! I also love in Savannah and currently renovating 2 houses which is causing me massive headaches---however---the mosquito net design idea is something I've been dying to do----I just can't find this $5 a curtain u say is available? I would be so appreciative if u could help me buy the exact amount u show on ur Pinterest page to get that thick flowy "dreamy" look! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from you!

    Did you have to spray these with Neverwet? I'm curious how they'd handle GA rainstorms without mildew or mold.
