What's the best way to repair a window screen?

Asked by surlygirl (117 points) | asked 3 days ago | 6 responses | “Great Question” (1 points) | Flag as…

i think the whole frame should be pulled out, taken apart, then new screeening put in. SO wants to get some sort of tape product. one screen has a tiny tear in the middle, the other two have been pulled/pushed out of the frame in a couple of small places around the bottom edge.

There are little screen repair patches that you can buy. Another option is to sew it.

Depends on the type of screen. The flimsy metal ones are easy to put a new screen in. Some types can be more difficult to replace the screen. I would personally replace the screen. But I like doing that stuff and have tons of free time.

Both ways will work. If you just want it to work and don’t care how it looks use tape. And it sounds like your SO wants an easy fix. If you want to replace the screen you should go ahead and give it a try.

you need a tool that looks like a pizza cutter so you can put the rubber spleen back in.

I know a lot of people who need to have rubber spleens put back in. People who
were born with regular spleens but messed them up with drug use and had to switch to rubber.
Misplaced these and come crying to me to sew them back in. I’m tired.
Tell me who does this. I can make a lot of referrals. I’ll even give up my pizza cutter….

Oh, wait, you mean SPLINES….. Well that’s another can of worms.
