This photo shows that the south porch has been cleared of the table and chairs and shelving with the army surplus tent floor in place. Our porch floor is regular decking with normal gaps between the boards for air and moisture control and not very good at holding heat. The tent floor covering eliminates the air flow and offers some degree of insulation.
I'm in the background moving an antique storage chest.

The first plastic panel can be seen on the left. It is 8 foot wide and 8 foot high and made of 7 2x2s (one on top, one on bottom and verticals every 2 feet. White plastic (6 mil) is on the outside and clear plastic (3 mil) is on the inside anchored to the 2x2s with staples. To aid the staples in holding the plastic and not ripping through, I used greenhouse batten tape from Morton Products. http://www.mortonproducts.com/page.cfm/1479 Batten tape is white a vinyl strip 3/4 " wide and 1/32" thick.
