One of the best videos i've seen on youtube. No nonsense intro...no time wasting...simple and stuck to the subject. And a brilliant tutorial. Bravo.

Brilliant. Thank you! Fully have confidence to build my own fly screens. Legend.

Thank you so much Bill, that was an amazing help! I'm so proud that I have made a flyscreen! Your tutorial was straightforward and easy to follow. Thanks again

Very, very well done, Bill. Am waiting for written quote to have four made up. I think I might make them myself, thanks to you. Watching from Melbourne.

This was terrific! I’m confident I can make these for our new house and save so much on custom made ones! Thank you!

THANK'S MATE. GOT MY MATERIAL AND READY TO GO. J

Thanks Bill . Simple and to the point , No BS.😀

That was genuinely the most straight forward excellent tutorial

Thank-you Bill! I made 5 flyscreens on the weekend. All installed and for the first time since we moved into the house, we've had the windows open! Makes such a difference as the weather is warming up. Next problem - the windows are from the 70's, with these corkscrews in the sides of the frames, and presumably 2 of them have failed, because a previous owner has pop riveted them closed! :}

Show us how it fits the window and how to keep it there please!

Use detergent and soap up the two top corners. Place those two corners into the frame at 45 degrees or less if you can and slide an rotate the fly screen. Once they are in position, lift the fly screen up as far as you can and the bottom two corners should simply pushed into the frame. The detergent really makes a big difference.

Oh thankyou Bill! You’re a lifesaver!

Thanks, Bill. Very clear tutorial. I've started my screens and it's working well so far.

super helpful!

Great video, best I've found on here for this - deserves far more views and votes. Thanks for being so thorough and helpful.

OMG thank you!!!!!!! I was ready to kick and smash these screens into the garbage can. I decided to check KZread and there you were with the quarter turn secret. : ) So appreciate you taking the time to make this.

Great tutorial. Question though, I want to install a window air conditioner unit into a sliding window with the flyscreen, can I make a frame that incorporates the ac unit (so it has a few extra corners rather than a normal rectangle) and install it that way?

Thank you very much. Very clear explanation

Well I never knew. Thank You!

This was a terrific simple tutorial. I have no window recess and a handle that protrudes beyond the frame how can I get around this. A roller shutter wouldn’t work unless I take the roller blind off the window. Any ideas? I’d love to see how you fit this to your own window too

Thanks Bill. Such a clear and easy-to-follow video! I have made my fly screen and it's perfect. However, I have awning windows and have to cut a chunk out of the bottom (leaving just the trench for the spline) to fit over the wind-out mechanism. Do you know what tool I would nee and how I can achieve this? The hack saw can do the vertical cut (although it is tricky because it is higher than my angle-cut thing), but I can't work out how to successfully make a horizontal cut. Any ideas?

Great job. Well explained

@@rafac13 I'm guessing make it a millimeter or so bigger. I'm going to make one in a week, I'll report back if I remember. If it's a little loose, you can get little swivel tabs that flip open and shut to hold the screen securely.

I had a plastic channel system on my windows. They seemed like a good idea - the screen slides up and down but they were removed for a painting job and now I need to try and make new fly screen frames and thinking clips might be easier? Not sure! Need a demo video Bill 🤓

I had an expert replace fly screen mesh on my fly screen panels and he used pegs to add some tension to the mesh, that's what I thought. But doing it this way makes it look easy, is that how it works?

Good job fella 😁

Do you have a video about flyscreen wheels? Thinking about making my own doors

Nice video bro, I skipped ahead coz I've done the flyscreen repairs part. However I was wondering how much overlap you like your frame to have as to nestle into the flyscreen slot on the window frame? So if window is 700W would you add say 10mm either side so it slots in nicely?

Hey mate. How do you install a long narrow fly screen like the one you made In this video? I have replaced the bigger square ones before with easy. but when it came to my bathroom window. I couldn't get it back in. Seems the small ones are way harder to install cause they have less give. Anyways my bathroom has been fly screen less for 2 weeks now Any tips?

How would you join two sides together, or even 4 to make a rectangle, i am more interested in a rectangle

Anyone from the UK know where to get the aluminium framing from? Especially with the rope channel.

How do you make the frame for the fly screen

What are the name for these kinds of frames and the thing you roll inside? I have no idea what to search for here in Norway.
