Fast Track Screened Porch Kit for DIY Porch Screening Projects
Build a Professional-Looking Screened Porch with Fast Track
The Fast Track screened porch kit helps homeowners and contractors create a clean, professional-looking screened in porch with or without an existing porch structure. The snap-together aluminum channels form durable posts and rails while maintaining a clean finished appearance for patios, decks, gazebos, and custom porch projects.
Unlike basic screen framing kits, Fast Track allows you to screen from the interior or exterior of your porch and is available in white, bronze, and black powder-coated finishes to match different home styles.

Clean Look
The fast track system with hidden fasteners looks good and holds tight to the concrete. A little wiggle when joined to a square column. At 9 foot span, with no vertical support, it is pretty solid with just some deflection when pressure is applied. Do need a C-clamp to press the pieces together to form a column due to the tight fit.
