Sometimes our clients purchase the screen dome and install UV resistant canvas over the top of the dome and use the screening for the bottom half.  

Instead of a Screen Dome, sometimes our clients prefer a rectangular screen enclosure be attached at an entryway.  This way their screen enclosure has a solid metal roof that allows the home owner to sit out during rains and during the summer's hot spells.
