Screen Tight Porch System Install

Anyone use the Screen Tight system for their outdoor screened in patio? Seems pretty easy and can be done in as little as a day. If not this, what did you use?

i don't use any system for screens. i live in an old home, with wooden windows, screens and porch rails. When screening the porch, i nailed 3/4x3/4 strips around each opening and stapled the screen to the strip, then covered it with a wooden strip made for that application.
the only real modernization has been buying an air-driven stapler that uses T50 staples.

The system they sell at Lowe's works well. Nail or screw in the rail system, then install the screen. Then snap the cap piece in over it. Screens are a pain tho - one tear and you have to replace the entire panel. It's also a little bit of a pain to keep the screen tight all over when you are installing it, but it's do-able.

If you are doing it for mosquitos, remember they can and will invade the space through the cracks in the floor boards.
