How to Measure DIY Fly Screens
1
Exact Place for the DIY Screen
We recommend fitting the screen inside of the entryway frame. If there isn’t a section to fix the screen inside the frame then you will need to make a secondary frame for the screens to be installed in.

Frame Requirements for Installation
Before installing retractable mesh screens, make sure your window or door frame has flat surfaces on all four sides. This allows proper fitting into the existing frame. Do not attach screens to the sliding channel.

Keep away pests with DIY Retractable Fly Screen
Love the idea of having fresh air flowing through your home on a breezy summer's day but worried about insects, flies and mozzies getting inside? While you could fork out money for a custom fly screen for your doors and windows, it may be more cost-effective to make them yourself with some quality mesh and an aluminium frame.
Before spending money on mesh screens that don't live up to your expectations, then why not consider making them yourself.
Explore Ezy Screens video tutorials. Here you will learn everything there is to know about DIY fly screens from the basic components required, step by step guides, measuring advice to installation tips for retractable window screens and doors.
INSTALLATION
Consider the Style of Mouldings
Live in an art deco home? Different types of architrave mouldings on your door or window frame can affect the installation process of your DIY retractable fly screens. As architrave mouldings are usually ornate and have different depths, it's essential to choose which depth layer you would like to fit your mesh screen. Consider the following installation tips:
- The Jamb/frame/moulding depth of at least 35mmD on the top and sides of the frame.
- The bottom of the architrave moulding or the floor on the plane of this layer must be flat, or show a depth of over 20mmD.
- There are no obstructions such as window hardware or alarm system control boxes on the plane of this layer.
Once you select the layer of the architrave on where you want your DIY fly screen to go, you can begin to measure the width and height of the opening. We suggest measuring the height of the opening at both ends and same with the width.
