I was thinking there was an article here years back on some screen vents Mark built but can't findem. Anyone have any pics and/or suggestions for some access doors/vents? This home has metal skirting. I did some on mine years ago, but I'm not happy with how I did it, so looking for a better idea. Detailed please :)

The way I did our's was to make 4 removable access doors about 2'x3'. Frame that in w/2x4 and I made screen panels that I slip in, in place of the door for the warm weather.

Hi Greg, can you send some pics of yours? I can provide my email if necessary.

I'll write myself a note to take a few pictures tomorrow night when I get home from work. I was thinking Mark had pictures too, but I could not find them either.

This is what I did. I simply framed in the opening with 2x4 and made a 1x4 pressure treated frame to fit, add screen to the back side and slip it in place.
