I just learned to do this last week. It took big balls for me to finally try.

How’d it go?
In the future, you may want to show how you positioned the ladder. Installing the screen is informative; but it's not very different from installing a screen on a screen door. The challenging part is positioning your ladder to avoid getting in the pool.

I'm thinking the same thing. I wasn't home when the guys did mine when I first moved in. Now after Hurricane Ian, I have panels above the pool and not in corners. He just showed ones that anyone could do in a corner. Mine are right above the pool. When I came home, I remember them having something that went over the pool, like a long board or a ladder. So if they climbed a ladder in the middle of the pool, I still don't understand how you get to the last corner of a panel that is now not accessible. I just assume people are climbing up on the pool cage, which seems insane to me. I thought maybe taking long 2x8 boards and laying them up there, and using my knee pads just walking on the boards. IDK, I might just have to get the guys back out here and let them do the tops. Or just do everything that's not over the pool.

@@mikeworkman3593 I ended up doing my own, but I was not directly over the pool. I used a long ladder. My neighbor hired a contractor. The contractor rescreened the entire pool cage instead of trying to fix the individual panel. As I watched them do the work, they completed the entire pool cage in two days; with one large sheet of screen. It took me two days to do my 4 panels. I was able to end on the edge of the pool where I could position my ladder on the outside. Another idea would be to remove the panels on the outside. Then use these open holes to lean the ladder to the center of your pool. Work your way to the edge and use the ladder on the edge to finish that row. Good luck!
looks good man. 👍. climb that frame!
I’m working it now came str8 from the shop after 7 months and this is my 2nd week of labor and it’s hard but I’m here trying to see how to pre screen the roofs before putting them up on the gutter
This helped. Thanks
I appreciate the effort but it was as much of a watch me work, as this is how you do it.
Video was very informative will let you know how it went
Thanks bro !
@Mac Screens & Services L.L.C. A few of the panels directly above the pool are damaged. Standing the ladder inside the pool would not be safe. Any suggestions? I can't afford to hire anyone right now. Thanks for the advice.
Can u show us how to replace the triangle areas?
How and where do you secure the ladder when the peak is way over the pool.? Does it go into the pool?

You need a plank
Is it common for screeners to span multiple top panels rather than spline each section individually?
Where did you purchase the multi-tool ? (Spline roller and knife) Brand ?
What do you charge for something like that? Got someone who want me to do it for them
what kind of roller are you using and where do i get one like that, that has the roll on the side and not in the center

Well you would have to work with a extension ladder from one corner out to the edge of the enclosure like the video shows you . If you have no experience at all with top panels then you may find it to be challenging to install your first top panel.
How much should I be charging for a screen repair

Depends on the screen probley around 100-150 per panal
What if the top panel is in the dead center between two other panels? There’s no way to change it by using a ladder on the outside. Looks like i need to lease a lift for it.

1.25$ per sq foot. If it's one panel 100$ trip charge. After 100$ it's by sq foot but also depending on the accessibility and also type of screen and if it's rolled in or not

Walk the roof using the ladder takes too long moving it back and forth and their spots you can’t use a ladder.
I’m supposed to start a job doing this, I don’t think I want to now, I don’t want to walk on those beams every day, not worth dying for breaking my back
How does anyone find this helpful? U didn't show how to do the elevated panels at all?! Did u install it from a helicopter?
i advise for anyone to NOT do this if you don’t have the proper training or set up.
You needed a different perspective with the camera showing you from far away working on the top panels. That's why I gave you a thumbs down.
what a terrible video he does not show how its done
