Y’all, making your own window screens might seem a little daunting, but it was so much easier than I expected! I grabbed everything I needed from Lowe’s, check out my bio for the link. Step 1: Measure your window opening where the screen will sit. Depending on your frame kit, you’ll need to deduct for the corner connectors. For my kit, I deducted 1½ inches from each overall measurement before cutting my frame pieces. Step 2: Cut your frame pieces to size, add the metal spring clips to the top of the frame, and connect everything using the corner pieces. Step 3: Lay your screen mesh over the frame and use a spline roller to secure it into the grooves. Then trim off the excess mesh with a utility knife or scissors. Step 4: lay down the black plastic screen hardware onto the window frame to help hold your new screen in place. BONUS TIP: Before installing your screens, clean the exterior windows! I also used a sports water bottle to spray water into the corners of the window tracks to flush out all that built-up dirt and debris. While everything was drying, I was busy building my new screens. That way, everything was fresh and clean when I popped them into place! Once everything is dry, pop your new screens into place! Such an affordable DIY, especially when you have multiple windows to do! #lowespartner #affiliate #H#HomeImprovementWindowScreens #diyhome
