A Screen Room Built for a Northshore Backyard

This Abita Springs project was planned as a complete outdoor living upgrade, not just a screen wall installation. The existing patio cover was removed, the base was improved with new concrete, and the new screened area was designed to work with the home’s backyard access, drainage needs, and daily use.

The finished screen room gives the homeowners a more comfortable place to relax, dine, entertain, and enjoy fresh air with better protection from mosquitoes, leaves, direct sun, and wind-driven rain. The white finish keeps the structure bright and visually connected to the home exterior.

Project Scope at a Glance

Removal

Existing patio cover removed and hauled away before the new construction began.

Concrete Work

New concrete foundation section installed, approximately 2 ft. × 33.5 ft.

Screen Walls

Custom Southern Sun Room Bahama Breeze screen wall system, approximately 33.5 ft. long.

Patio Cover

Southern Shademaker heavy-duty structural flat pan aluminum cover, approximately 11 ft. × 30 ft.

Patio Cover Removal and Concrete Foundation Installation

The project began with removing and hauling away the existing patio cover. Clearing the older structure allowed the new screen room and aluminum cover to be built around a cleaner, more reliable footprint.

After demolition, the crew furnished and installed a new concrete foundation section measuring approximately 2 ft. × 33.5 ft. This added support created a stable and continuous base for the new screen wall system while improving the overall layout and finished look of the patio area.

The new concrete work also helped the screen room integrate more naturally with the existing home and backyard access points. For a long screen wall run, that base detail matters because it affects alignment, drainage, durability, and daily use.

White Bahama Breeze Screen Wall System

For the screened walls, the project used a custom-manufactured Southern Sun Room Bahama Breeze system measuring approximately 33.5 feet in length. The white finish gives the enclosure a clean, classic appearance and helps the new work feel connected to the home exterior.

Southern Shademaker Heavy-Duty Aluminum Patio Cover

The overhead structure for this project is a Southern Shademaker heavy-duty structural flat pan aluminum patio cover measuring approximately 11 ft. × 30 ft. The cover was installed in white to match the screen wall system and support a unified finished appearance.

Full integrated gutter system

Helps manage runoff during heavy Louisiana rain.

Decorative valances

Add a cleaner finished edge to the patio cover.

Two structural fan beams

Support future ceiling fan planning and improved airflow.

Flat pan aluminum panels

Provide a durable, lower-maintenance cover for outdoor living.

Unlike a traditional wood patio cover, a structural aluminum system resists moisture-related deterioration and requires less routine maintenance. That is especially important in a humid Northshore setting where outdoor materials face heat, rain, insects, and seasonal storm exposure.

Why This Screen Room Fits Abita Springs and the Northshore

Outdoor living areas in Abita Springs, Covington, Mandeville, Madisonville, Lacombe, and nearby St. Tammany Parish communities have to deal with humidity, afternoon heat, heavy rainfall, seasonal storms, and constant insect activity. A well-planned screen room helps turn a patio into a space that can be used more often throughout the year.

For this home, the combination of a Bahama Breeze screen wall system, a white Southern Shademaker aluminum patio cover, integrated gutters, and fan-ready beams created a practical upgrade that improves comfort without making the space feel enclosed or heavy.

What the Completed Screen Room Improves

Outdoor comfort

More shade and a more defined patio area for everyday use.

Airflow

Screened walls keep the space open while reducing common outdoor interruptions.

Insect protection

The enclosure helps reduce exposure to mosquitoes, leaves, and drifting debris.

Water control

The integrated gutter system helps manage runoff during Louisiana rainstorms.

Backyard access

The double entry door makes movement between the patio and yard easier.

Finished appearance

The white aluminum system gives the outdoor area a cleaner, more intentional look.
