An enclosure for a room, patio, or the like is made of modular parts that hide from view all fasteners and other functional parts. The parts include upstanding regular posts, corner posts, open back posts, horizontal beams and chair rails, as well as door frames, door jambs, door sweeps, and other parts required for an enclosure construction. Aesthetic cover members are snap-fittingly engaged to the modular parts and confronting pairs of the cover members, in a first embodiment, are very closely spaced to one another to accommodate a screen between them. In second and third embodiments, the confronting cover members have larger spaces between them to accommodate opaque, translucent, or transparent panels of about one-half inch and three-quarter inches, respectively. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The long-standing but heretofore unfulfilled need for an apparatus that overcomes the limitations of the prior art is now met by a new, useful, and nonobvious invention.
The present invention includes a method for building a screen or a panel/glass enclosure.
An elongate frame member having a predetermined extent and having a predetermined number of sides is provided.
A first pair of cover-engaging members are formed along the extent of the frame member on a preselected first side thereof.
A second pair of cover-engaging members is formed along the extent of the frame member on the first side thereof in transversely spaced apart relation to the first pair of cover-engaging members.
An elongate first cover is attached to the first pair of cover-engaging members, and in a screen enclosure embodiment, a preselected screen edge is attached to the first cover by inserting a screen retaining means into a screen retaining means-receiving groove formed in the first cover.
The screen retaining means overlies the preselected screen edge.
An elongate second cover is attached to the second pair of cover-engaging members.
In the screen enclosure embodiment, the first and second covers are sized and configured so that they confront and substantially abut one another along their respective extents when attached to their respective cover-engaging members and so that they collectively cover the preselected side of the frame member.
In the screen enclosure embodiment, the screen retaining means-receiving groove is positioned in the first cover so that it cannot be seen when the first and second elongate covers are respectively attached to the first and second cover-engaging members in confronting relation to one another.
In this way, a screen edge secured to the first cover is sandwiched between the first and second covers, the screen retaining means that secures the screen edge to the first cover is hidden from view, the first and second pairs of cover-engaging members are hidden from view, and the first side of the frame member is hidden from view
