Build on the lines already in the porch
Bring Craftsman proportions to your porch with custom solid wood enclosure panels. Square profiles, strong horizontal lines, and restrained detail connect the panels with the posts and woodwork around them.
Craftsman porch panels complement the substantial posts and visible framing associated with Arts and Crafts homes. Compare the width of the panel’s wood frame with the posts around it, then look at the balance between the lower section and the screen or glass above. Broad rails and straightforward divisions give the design its character.
Consider the view from a chair as well as the view from the yard. The height of a horizontal rail affects what you see while seated, and repeating that height across neighboring panels creates a continuous line. Custom sizing lets the design respond to different spans between posts.
Coordinate the entrance and upper sections
Choose a matching design from our Craftsman Screen & Storm Doors for access to the steps, garden, or walkway. Carry the rail heights into the fixed panels beside it so the entrance fits within the larger porch pattern.
For a taller opening, screen and storm transoms can continue the design above the main panels. Their divisions can line up with the framing below. Consider the height of the upper band alongside the main panels so both have proportions that suit the porch.
Select the wood and seasonal inserts
A stained finish emphasizes the grain of our standard African Mahogany across the rails and frame. Paint can connect those lines with existing trim. Any alternative species should suit the porch’s weather exposure. Panels arrive unfinished for sealing and exterior finishing before installation.
Use removable screens for airflow and exchange them for storm glass when you want more shelter. The wood panels stay fixed in place. See our Porch Enclosure Panels overview for insert choices, installation components, and the measurements to gather.
Choose a Craftsman design above and customize its size and options online. If you are coordinating several openings, our team is available to help align the rails and plan the panels alongside the door.
