Let s get started and before you know it you ll have a new custom window screen in 15 minutes flat.
Diy window screen without frame.
Opening your window on a hot summer day can allow a cool breeze to refresh your room.
But it can also let in annoying insects unless you install a screen.
As the spline goes into the groove it helps pull the screen taut.
In my case i needed to made a screen frame from scratch.
I ll share how to build a custom window screen frame and add the fiberglass mesh.
Trim the screen material make sure the screen material is at least 2 inches wider than the frame.
Build the custom window screen frame step 1 if you have an old screen measure it s width and height.
Upon reaching the corners of the frame where the roller won t reach use a flat head screwdriver to press the spline into the corner image 1 and continue on with the spline tool image 2.
