ABSTRACT:
A screened enclosure such as that commonly used to cover lanais, swimming pools, outdoor dining areas and the like has supports for overhead screening. Typically the supports are a series of roof arches joined by cross beams, and fixed screening is secured to the upper surfaces of these supports. The enclosure includes removable screen sections which are removably secured to under surfaces of these supports or the under surfaces of specially provided screen support members. These under surfaces to which the removable screen sections are removably secured define several perimeter sections which are usually but not always rectangular, with a separate removable screen section for each of those perimeter sections. When a removable screen section is removed, partially or completely, it is removed from underneath the screened enclosure so that no one has to climb above the screened enclosure to reach and remove debris. The removed screen section provides an access opening through which the debris collected thereon is removed, as well as debris on or in adjacent structure such as the fixed screen sections and a roof gutter. Hook-and-loop fastening strips are the preferred means for fastening the removable screen sections to the support structures.
