ADFORS DIY Screen Frame Kit, 5/16" x 3', White

I've now purchased quite a few of these sets. I'm using them to hold 4 mil and 6 mil clear vinyl on our screened in porch for the winter. These things are working great. The first room I used them on, I used liquid nails to attach them to the wood. It worked great, but by time I got around to the 2nd room, it was pretty chilly out and the liquid nails wouldn't set, so I drilled holes along the sides of these and screwed them into place.. That worked really well. This holds the plastic in place very firmly so we'll have two screened in porches to enjoy this winter. I used frost king clear vinyl and flexible glass vinyl, and using that with the screen frame kits, it created glass like enclosures. My biggest problem with them is that the spline comes inserted in the channels, so you have to pull it out before using it. The spline actually is pretty hard to get out. I used a flat tip screw driver to get the end out of the channel enough that I could pull the rest of it out.. It'd be easier if the spline just came rolled up. I'm hoping that I can just pull the spline out of the channels in the spring, roll up the vinyl and reuse the whole system year after year. I'm also going to try this on a couple of windows in our house that are a bit drafty. I think it'll work well and will be so much better than two sided tape, which leaves an ugly residue year after year.

this is not sturdy, but take your time and don't get the screen tight and will work fine.

I didn't read every single review of the product before buying. I figured fo $10, I wouldn't be out much if it was a complete fail. It wasn't a complete fail, but not a complete success either. I'll have to purchase some more screen fabric and give it another go. First off is the spline is really difficult to get out. I ended up using a jeweler's screwdriver I already had. By inserting it into the hollow of the spline, I was able to get the end up enough to grab with a pair of pliers and pull. At this point, I wondered how difficult it would be to insert it with screen fabric behind it. Let alone screen fabric plus plastic pull tabs. But I digress. It cut easily using a hacksaw and miter box and I felt really proud of myself for getting the measurements right. My window is roughly 44"x18", and you have to subtract 1 1/2 inches for cutting. This did not replace an existing frame, so I had to take measurements from the window casing itself. The corners went in nicely, although a little difficult where the tension springs were inserted. Once the frame was together, I did a dry run and it fit my window perfectly! So now the screen insertion process began. I taped the frame down on my tile patio and laid the screen on top of it. I've done this process before on sliding glass door screens many times. It's what you learn to do when you have cats. ;-) It wasn't an easy process, as the spline is rather narrow and a tight fit to begin with. With a little patience, I got it in and the screen was nice and taut. Boy, I was happy - it looked great! I cut the excess with my utility knife and went to put the newly-framed screen in my window. This is when my glee ended. Apparently, I held the screen a bit too taut and the long sides bowed inward. It's noticeable when in the window and certainly is enough to allow bugs in. So, I have a trip to the hardware store tomorrow to get more screen. I'm going to cut a piece of wood the same length as the interior measurement of the short ends of the frame. Then I'll tape it between the long ends to maintain the measurements and avoid bowing when re-doing the screen. Live and learn. I hope my experience and review helps others.

I used a craft miter scissors and it worked perfectly to cut the frame. I did have to pry one opening open with a flat head screwdriver because I pushed down too hard. All the pieces fit and my screen is perfect! I also saved $150 on a new screen they wanted at a local DIY place. So pleased that my daughter bought 2 for her house! Very sturdy too...

It does the job just OK. The frame is so flimsy it permanently deforms as you cut it according to their directions. It is still flimsy after assembling into a rectangle because the corner pieces are a loose fit. One piece arrived slightly dented even though it was packaged well. The parts are packaged together using really cheap packing tape. The tape tears into several pieces are you try to remove it. And then it leaves a little residue on the frame material. It wasn't too difficult to get the spline out but it did pull out razor thin hairs off the spline itself. It would have been better to simply include a small spool of spline with the kit. Any tension on the screen causes the entire frame to bend and twist. I had to basically have zero tension on it in order to keep it flat. Overall it is flimsy, but it does the job and all the parts you need are included in the kit. Next time I need to replace a screen frame I won't be ordering this one again.

I have casement windows that never had any screens, and wanted to be able to open the windows without letting the bugs in or the cats out. After deducting 1.5" for corner connectors, I needed 47" sticks for the sides. The package says it contains four 48" pieces. It does not. It contains four 46.5" pieces--which WILL make up to a 48" square screen. Based on what the package said, I thought I could get the 47" I needed, but I couldn't. Fortunately I was able to use these for a different set of slightly smaller windows. They are sturdy, super easy to cut (I used my chop saw--cuts like butter) and assemble. The finished product looks like they came with the windows from the factory. I am very pleased. :-) If you're looking for a way to put screens on the inside of your casement windows--these worked well for me. My windows have a lot of ledges around them--see photo--and I just fit these into one of those ledges. I used the two included springs on the outside edge, and they're holding up to my very curious cats--so far. :-)

Use this to make a lid for my fish tank
