hey there! i'm going to show you how to makea screen frame for your window. especially if you live in southeast asia,singapore where i've been for the past ten years. singapore a lot of mosquitos because it's in the tropics and unfortunately, the windows here do not have screens on them. as a matter fact, i couldn't find them anywhere so
antique woodworking tools nz, that left me with a last resort which isto build a wooden screen frame for the window. right here i'm going to show you isour bathroom window in which i want it open so there is anice breeze and kind of ventilation all the time here but i want to keepmosquitoes out.
so the first thing i want to do is goahead and do a measurement of my window. so i'll go ahead and get that wood now. this is the wood that i've picked up and it's 2cm by 2cm. they cut it for me but unfortunately, they didn't cut it very accurately. luckilythough, i had them cut a little bit longer than i needed so what i can do isactually with the frame right here, i can goahead and use my hack saw, wood saw and make sure that the length is the exact size asi need. as well as wood that i picked up, i picked up this l-brackets that will help join the corners
of the frame. okay, the first thing i'm going to do is go ahead and put a spot of glue here, where the two pieces of wood goingtogether and then i'm going to go ahead and use my stapler gun to tack it, to hold the two pieces together before iput the l-bracket on and then i'm going to go ahead and justget my drill and g o screw this in. then put this outside to dry a little bit quicker.
got some white spray paint and i'm just gonna go ahead and spray the part that's going to be facing theinterior, white. so only home-fix stores have this sort of mesh, multipurpose, little display area and this is the multi-purpose mesh screen that we are going to use from our screen. i'm back from home-fix with mymulti-purpose mesh or the screen. what i'm going to do now is just go ahead and make surethat the screen is
overlapping the wooden frame so i can ? it on when i staple into the wooden frame. i'm going just go ahead and cut thisexcess part here. okay it's time to put the screen ontothe frame. i'm going to start at the very top, in the center then work my way to the left andthen to the right. then i'm gonna flip the screen over and this is veryimportant to make sure the screen is ?. start in the center then move to theright and then to the left. now after we've gotten the sides done,i'm going to lay down another row of
staples here in the back end to make sure that no dust get trap in between the screen and the frame. now i'll laydown the weather stripping and then we're ready to install. okay, i'm done with putting the weather stripping around thewhole frame as well as putting the screen on ?. let's see if it fits. another tip if you're doing this in singapore, since you can't get very good
staple guns in singapore, you don't want to use too long of a staple. as you can see, it's nice and flushed and it's sealed in there tightly, and there you have it! nice ? frame and hope you enjoyed this video on how to make a screen frame, wooden frame to keep mosquitoes out especially if youlive in southeast asia and in my case,
