screen in
Add mesh walls
To screen in a porch, patio, or other outdoor space is to enclose it with mesh screens, typically to allow fresh air while keeping out insects.
The resulting space is often called a screened-in porch or screened porch.
We screened in the back deck so we could enjoy summer evenings without the mosquitoes.
