Default Plans for detached screen house?

Who is going to build this?
You'll have a hard time finding the exact plans for what you have
envisioned unless someone else had built the same exact screen house and
shared the plans.


I won't have time to do it myself but I'll probably do some of the
finish work (all the interior, possibly siding, likely electric) and
build the screen panels. *At this point I was hoping to find some sort
of generic plans that I could use to start a conversation with a
builder this winter.

Basically, you are building a large shed or a detached garage with a
different wall system.


Yep. In fact, one thought I've had is to just talk with a garage
builder about making a two car garage with 24x48 openings all around.
Thought I'd ask for plans first though in case there was some cache
somewhere I hadn't been able to find on my own.

@Steve above, I'm really looking to keep this simple. No water.
Probably a single 15 amp circuit for a fan and lights. It would only
be used late April-early October at best, so no insulation, heating,
etc.

thanks,

I'm really looking to keep this simple. No water.

I helped build a cabin in the Adirondacks for a buddy of mine.

We put in a counter with a sink whose drain simply went though the
floor. The cabin was on piers.

We built a shelf above the sink strong enough to hold a 5 gallon water
container and "piped" a hose down to a single handled faucet. Poof!
Running water for washing hands and dishes.

(There was natural spring in a nearby hillside right off the main road
near his cabin. Someone, years ago, had shoved a piece of PVC pipe
into the hillside and laid a piece of steel grating over the stream
below it. You could pull off the road and fill your water containers
24 - 7 with fresh, clean mountain water.)
