How do I screen in my front entryway?

Question

I want to add screen with a screen door to my front entryway. It's about 4 feet wide by ~12 feet high. How do I get started? It doesn't seem to hard. How do I attach the frame to the house (it's stucco)? And where can I get the frame pieces? I can't find any install guides on the internet.

Build frames to fit your openings out of 1 by 2 lumber.  Attach the screen material to them with a staple gun.  Anchor the frames with screws so they can be removed when not needed.

For the door, buy a pre-hung screen door.  Cut 2x4's to fit tight to the top.  Wedge them in and attach the door frame to them.  Build a 1x2 frame and cover with screen to fill in above the door.
