Creating arched frames for screened porch?

severe1 · #1 Apr 22, 2005, 03:43 PM

I have a screened porch that has 3 arched frames that need replacing.
They were made with 2x2 lumber originally and are literally falling apart.
What is the best way to recreate these and the best way to attach these?
It is a brick home and the porch arches are brick as well.
The floor of the porch is concrete.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

...with arches, I would carefully inspect the existing structure for the best take on both how to create and re-attach it. Without more info regarding dimensions, whether any of the lumber was shaped to form a part of the arch, etc., it would be beneficial to provide a sketch or a photo for the benefit of those members with more expertise.
