Screens are incredibly useful in tropical countries like ours—they allow you to keep your windows open to let the air in, while keeping the bugs out. But what do you do when a screen is worn and frayed? Prepare a new screen, a screwdriver and a cutter, then get to work.
What you need:
- Screen
- Screwdriver
- CutterÂ
How-to:Â
- Steady the frame with one hand and remove the rubber guide to take the screen out.
- Remove the screen by pushing it from below until it pops out.
- With a two-inch allowance all around, put the new screen on top of the frame.
- Outline the rubber onto the frame. With a screwdriver, push it and the screen into the canal of the frame.
- Use a cutter to cut the excess screen.Â
