Enclosing a covered porch

I have a 6x10 covered porch that I would like to enclose into somewhat of a Florida room. The porch has 2 sides that are already brick walls and there is a brick column where the other two walls would connect. I'm just not real sure how to go about this. I would like to use screens rather than windows this area. I have enough brick to build the walls and there is already concrete on the ground. I have no idea how the screens would fit inside the brick frame. HELP!

Use the bricks to create the rough opening, then use wood (like a 2X4) to create the frames for the screening.

You could spline the screening right into the 2X4's if you route a 1/8" slot all the way around the wood frame for the spline to be pressed into, or you could build aluminum framed screens that just attach to the 2X4's.
