How to Make Snap-On Enclosure Panels for a Screen Porch
HTML-код

- This tutorial video shows how to make snap-on screen porch window enclosure panels from clear vinyl. Prolong the seasonal use of your screened-in porch by adding protection from cold weather. Installing vinyl enclosure panels over your screened windows can, in some cases, make it possible to use your porch even in the dead of winter, as it helps to block out the cold and traps heat from the sun. Easy to snap up and remove when not needed, the enclosure panels are not meant to be airtight, but they will still do an outstanding job of protecting your porch from the elements. You can easily make them with supplies and tools from Sailrite. Let’s get started.

This video just saved me over 1,000 staples per year. I have been stapling plastic to my porch windows for years. This is a huge time saver. Thanks.
These home improvement projects are my favorite yet!
I love watching your videos. You explain what you are doing and give tips along the way. Does not sound scripted yet very detailed. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you find my videos helpful and detailed. It means a lot to me that you appreciate the effort I put into explaining things and giving tips along the way. Your support keeps me motivated to create more content!
Almost done building our screened in porch and wanted to make storm windows. This alternative will save us so much since each panel of plexiglass would cost us $77!
They look great. By installing the side facings first with only sewing the inside stitch ,then the top and bottom facings sewing completely around the outside edge. Then finish off by sewing the inside edge of the top and bottom facings. This will give you a finished outside edge around the panel.
I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for making the time to share your knowledge. It's a good thing! ;)
Excellent tutorial! Great way of explaining and guiding the learning. Thank you!
Would love to see a tutorial on truck seat covers! I'm sure you guys carry fabrics perfect for this application!
Does this work? ruclips.net/video/CamnznmHZDA/видео.html
Excellent idea. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I'll take credit for the idea, but the real magic is in your execution.
I wish I had all the tools you have to so what you have done here. Wow. I have an aluminum patio for my screen. No way I could do this, but wish I could. I am a 76 year old widow, and want something like this on my patio for winter, but don't know who could do this or something similar. I put clear plastic up by myself with packaging tape. Duct tape left too much sticky behind when I took it down. You are welcome to come to Tyler Tx and do this for me!! LOL. Awesome.
Haha! I wish I could teleport myself to Tyler, Tx to help you with your patio project! You could contact a sewing friend and have them watch the video to see if they would be willing to do it for you.
I just finished making my panels and this was such a worthwhile project!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It means a lot to me that my video inspired you to take on this project and find it worthwhile.
@@SailriteDIY I'd love to share a photo of it. It's so wonderful to have a warm porch now!!
@@avalisha Feel free to send an image to info@sailrite.com, we would love to see how it turned out.
This is brilliant! Thank you!!!❤
You're welcome! Just doing my part to make the world a little more brilliant. 😄
Excellent idea. Looks seamless. Thank you! You're a great teacher!
I only have a residential sewing machine and my sewing skills are pretty bad - my machine and I have a love-hate affair for MANY years, so can these be made using only the double-sided tape to secure the edges? I want to use the panels on frames for my chicken enclosure and we already bought a roll of 20 gauge vinyl. I would purchase from you the vinyl for the edge facing and the snaps. The video is amazing and your instruction is perfect and easy to follow.
Would 45 mph wind gusts blow these snap on panels away? We have very windy conditions during the winter.
🙏👍😀 thanks 😊
how does it do with high winds. here in las animas colorado we have 60 to 70 mph winds some times.
Great video - thank you for posting it. Why did you use Strataglass for this project? It's almost twice the price of other 30 gauge vinyl such as Crystal Clear or Regalite.
We are looking for similar ideas for our porch-type area (in Maine), but I wonder if the wind or snow would damage these things? They are the exact type of thing we need - see through and easy on/off for seasons. I only have a sewing machine that is for in-home use, although I might be able to get my treadle Singer to work. We'll ponder it and see if this could work - price wise and functionality. Excellent video - well done, simple to understand. Thank you.
I use corrugated white plastic Home Depot sheets cut to fit snug into our wood frames of our summer enclosed porch. I do use longish nails stop them from blowing out during winter storms. Come spring I pull the nails, remove the corrugated plastic sheets & out the white plastic blinds back up. Have used the sheets for over 10 years.
If you do a lot of sewing on vinyl they make Teflon tape, anywhere notions are sold, to stick onto your stitch plate and your presser foot to prevent sticking.
Yes, that can help with a non-walking foot sewing machine. Good suggestion.
Hey great video ! I was wondering if you think itd be possible to add tint or something like tint to this?
Some higher quality clear vinyls have a slight tint. Like this one: www.sailrite.com/Crystal-Clear-40-Gauge-Vinyl-Window-Material-54-x-111-Light-Smoke
How is tool you used different from the "snap tool system " on site? Thanks
Are there covers for the screws when the plastic is not installed? Would look nice to have white plastic covers to blend in with my porch exterior
You may want to consider these covers for screws: www.sailrite.com/search?keywords=screw%20cover
What size needle? I’m trying to follow as close to your instructions as possible but you have not mentioned needle size.
We are using a V-92 Polyester Thread with a size #20 needle.
That was very helpful and a great system! I will be doing this to my screen door which has mesh for summer ventilation but a pain in winter. Very clever system!
Your sewing skills need fine tuning. And the backing strips are poorly planned out with gaps in between. I would have done that slower with more precision so it looked seamless.
Thank you for your feedback! I appreciate your honesty and will definitely work on improving my sewing skills for future projects.
mi spiace immensamente capire poco i video pur avendo comprato la PRIMIUM blu pervhè èoytri usarla di piu... perche traduzione video non è sempre capibile
Hi, I want to let you know that I am quitting RUclips due to their excessive ads. I'm unsubscribing from all my channels to hopefully send RUclips a message. Best of luck to you
