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...

Was getting quotes to get screens made for windows at $200, this is a great and easy option to make your own!

As others have said in their reviews, this kit comes as 4 channel pieces WITH THE SPLINE ALREADY INSTALLED in each piece (which is problematic). If you just pry this out as you would in a normal screen repair job, the prying will damage this otherwise "new" spline and you'll likely wind up with many small pieces of it instead of a whole. Instead, use a small sharp tool and stick it into the spline near the end of the channel, and then just push it a bit in order to just slide the entire spline out of the end of the channel. Once you get it out a little bit with the tool you can grab it with your fingers and the whole thing comes out pretty easily and in one nice piece.Other than that, it's as easy to use as other kits. I also agree with other reviews that it is pretty flimsy, but in my application I am using clips to fasten the whole thing to an old wood screened-in porch, so it doesn't need to be sturdy on its own.

This review is for ADFORS DIY Screen Frame Kit, 5/16" x 4', White.The product arrived promptly and I was able to follow the instructions and produce a functional window screen when combined with Saint-Gobain ADFORS FCS9831-M Standard Screen Repair Kit for Window & Door, 36" x 84", Charcoal.I am deducting 1 star from my rating because the description is misleading; the length of each metal section is not 48", but is 46.5". When the plastic corner pieces are added, the total length does reach 48". This was important to me because one of the windows I was targeting requires a 49" screen and I was not able to make that one.This was my first attempt at putting together a window screen and the outcome is satisfactory. I expect to purchase more of these kits for other windows where the requirement does not exceed 48".

Good price and easy to put together. Perhaps a little bit flimsy. Not very rigid at the corners but works well once in place. No more flies in the house. 🙂👍

I purchased this item to replace a 34" x 35" screen that I had, but was sorely disappointed. The frame stocks had thinner walls than the original and inadequate for anything probably larger than 15" or 20". The spleen that comes with it are precut to the same length as the 4 frame stocks instead of a single long spleen, so you'll have to take each one out of the frame before installing the mesh and they were difficult to remove. After installing the mesh, the frame would not hold up the tension and bow inwards; even though I made sure not to apply too much tension. Completely waste of time cutting the frame stocks to size, taking out the spleen, installing the mesh, then only to find out that this is a piece of garbage. I didn't try to return the item because I already cut it to size and probably wouldn't qualify for a return. Don't waste your time and make the same mistake I did, and go purchase another frame kit that is sturdier.

This was easy to cut and assemble. Directions were clear. It took about 20 minutes to cut, assemble and install screen. The netal is equal in strength to a manufactured screen. It can be bent easilly so I was careful when cutting it with the hacksaw. The pieces come with all parts needed except screening. I also bought a spine roller from Amazon to install the screening that made that easy to do. I have added pictures of the small screen. I also assembled a larger one not sbown.

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.
