breezeway framing
I have a short breezeway that I'd like to enclose with screen/storm windows and a storm door. Is there an aluminum framing system (or some other zero maintenence material) to make this job a little easier?

They make 3 season room walls that you could order as a kit but they cost an absolute fortune. Nothing will be as cheap/easy as just building it out of standard materials and use low maintenance products.

Any suggestions? I was trying to avoid wood and the painting that goes along with it. It will have to be able to carry the load of the storm door.

Hard to know where begin. Maybe a photo of what you currently have would help.

A typical 2 x 4 wall structure will easily handle a storm door. Is this breezeway have a concrete floor? Pics are needed.
