Over the winter months, I designed this screened-in room to use standard lengths of lumber with very little waste. It measures 12 by 16 feet. Since we planned to stain it green and barn red, I used pressure-treated lumber, along with a metal roof and composite decking. The door was inspired by the trunks of oak trees on our property, and the flooring inside is standard lengths of low-maintenance composite decking. Our friends helped lift the big beams, and now they enjoy bird-watching and quiet evenings looking out into the trees with us.
Who did the work: I did all the work myself. Cost: $1,000 to $5,000
