What is the measurement from the top of your slab to the bottom of your rim joist?

A rough estimate if your measurement is 8' is 50 studs (92 1/4") or 8's. Plus +53 LF of 2x4 plates maybe an asst of 12's and 16's. (Assuming you can use your rim joist to attach screen to). Save receipts and return what you do not use!

That would cover, and leave big areas clear, yet allow for trimmers, and a mid section to attach the screen to so it does not flap in the wind as much.

Nails, concrete screws for the plates, staples for your screen and screws for trim boards to put over screen edge and you are good to go! (I say screws for the trim so if screen tears you can unscrew trim take it down and replace easily.

We did this same thing in the Acres but with clear plastic to block the rain.
