Hello all. I am looking for some ideas how to screen in my front porch. There is a column with some crown type molding on it. Only idea I have though of was to make an L section around it then cut some thin sheet metal and secure it to the screen aluminum??

This is one side of the pillar. I would have to do this twice and then there's a smaller lip on the bottom portion but i figure I can replicate the top for the bottom. Thank you for any and all help.

Anything you do will compromise your stucco rainscreen system. How about taking a couple of steps back and lets see the entire area.

All of the houses in swfl have the screen aluminum secured to the stucco. I'm curious on how to go around the molding
