Home Improvement - WINDOWS - REPAIRING HOLES IN WINDOW SCREENS

Repairing Holes in Window Screens
Repairing holes to keep out insects can be done in
the following steps:

METHOD 1

Step 1.
Cut a patch of screen which will cover the hole at least
1" on all sides.

Step 2.
Unravel a long piece of screen wire or several pieces
and lace it through the patch and screen.

(Vis. 1)

METHOD 2
Step 1.
Cut a patch large enough to cover the hole with about
1-1/2" around all sides and unravel all sides of the
patch about 1/2".


(Vis. 2)

Step 2.
Bend the ends of the wire 90 degrees to the patch and
push them through the screen covering the hole. Bend over
the wires projecting through on the back side to hold the
patch.
