Circular Arch Shaped Screens

Arched circular screen bar

Arched circular screen bar

Question:
I recently bought a house in Florida. A common thing is screening in your entryway. You can buy the straight aluminum frame pieces at Home Depot or Lowes. My question is how do you handle an archway or curves?
Is there pieces available that are curved or can be curved without expensive tools or ordering via some custom expensive place?

Answer:
The screen bars sold at Lowes and Home depot are usually 3/4" x 3/8" bars. To bend them you will need to cut notches in the bar as shown in the picture. You can do this by hand with a miter box and a hacksaw but it will be time consuming.

You will need to calculate the circumference of the the arch to get an idea of how many notches you need to cut.
