- Quick rundown on my back porch project. I built the porch and screen system and had a garage door company install the doors. Just need to figure out some shade from that west sun!!!
AWESOME!!
Thank you!!!
@LS67NOVA Thank you very much for taking the time out to make this vid. I can't mount the channels "surface" mount style like you did since my corners have stone column bases with smaller 4x4 posts up top. so they will "recessed" mount. I really like your room though. Great job. Thank again for all your help!
If you want to get a better look at those outside channels, they should be on display at Menards. They are at my local one. And you're welcome. Good luck! And please post a video once you're done. I'd love to see it
@@LS67NOVA Hi another question for you...how taught are the screens when down? My build will entail the larson channels be embedded into 2 cultured stone faced columns and I'm worried that if I recess the channels too much the screen material will snag on a piece of the stone if the screen is not taught enough. Does your weighted bar apply enough weight to make them not floppy? How about in wind? Thanks!
@@caschycom what I did to address wind issues is shown in the video starting around 2:18.
@@LS67NOVA Thanks! Can you link to the screen material you used? Also I assume the bulb seal only goes from channel to channel? Or does it actually go inside the channels?
@@caschycom The bottom metal strip as well as the bulb seal go inside the Larson channels all the way from side to side. That's what really helps keep the screen from swaying back and forth when it's windy. I don't have the link right in front of me, but if I remember right, I got it from quality screen online. It was there 80% sunshade. I'll try to dig up a link shortly
I am very interested in how you made the retractable screen. Do you happen to have a parts list or any instructions. I built a pergola and am roofing it for the weather. But would love to make the screens.
If you look at my other videos, there's a couple that have some details listed in the description. I didn't have time to get really detailed though. Kinda wish I would've but unfortunately I didn't.
Does this help a lot with wind? I have a north wall that I’d like to put a screen off to shield some wind but don’t want to use a solid plastic
It does block some wind but the problem is that it can get pulled out of the tracks when the wind is too heavy
Hello, I’m attempting to do this build but are having issues properly wiring the speed control with the 6 pin forward/reverse switch and the motor? I was wondering if you could provide me with a diagram or instructions on how to do so? I’ve looked on UA-cam for a guide and the best I can do is get the switch to work directly wired to the motor forward/reverse. When I try and add in the speed control I blow the fuse every time.
You take your 12 volt wires into the speed controller. Then on the output side of the speed controller, you run to the center pins of the switch. And this is where it gets a little bit tricky. I don't have the spare switch to do a video with but I can explain it like this...
Imagine you were looking at the switch pins. There would be six of them..... Three sets of two pins. So for the sake of this explanation, we will call the top two pins 1 and 2, the middle ones 3 and 4, and the bottom ones 5 and 6.
So the wires coming out of the speed controller will go to pins number 3 and number 4. You will take a short wire from pin number 5 and cross it over to pin number 2. You will also take another short wire from pin number 6 and cross it over to pin number 1. Then you also connect the motor input wires to pins number 1 and 2.
So when the switch is in the middle, the power goes nowhere. When you push the switch up, the power goes to pins number 1 and 2 and runs the motor in one direction. When you push the switch down, the power goes to pins 5 and 6 which then pass through pins 2 and 1 and go to the motor in opposite polarity to reverse the motor. The reason it goes to the motor in opposite polarity is because you crossed the short wires from pin number 5 to pin number 2 and also from pin number 6 to pin number 1. That's how you get your reverse polarity.
Technically you can run long wires straight from pins number one and two to the motor, and also run a long set of wires from pins number five and six all the way to the motor and tie them in opposite polarity. But that's a lot of extra wires, and to me, the short crossover wire method works just fine. That's what I did with mine and I've had zero issues.
Does that make sense?
@@LS67NOVA Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this! I’ll give it a try and see if I can get it to work.
@@LS67NOVA It Works!!!!!! You’re the man.
@@brandonmahoney9407 you're welcome!!!
How much was the garage install ?
$2k per door. Seeing as I live in Michigan, I wish I would have spent a little more and did the insulated glass on the doors.
