How to fix a torn flyscreen?

Hey guys, 

 

My flyscreen has ripped and a quick fix to help reattach the screen to the frame would be great!

 

Cheers,

Hi @bignoux8,

 

Welcome to Workshop. It's fantastic to have you join the community. We hope you find it useful and look forward to reading about your projects and plans. 

 

Experienced member Tara has put together a step-by-step guide How to replace a flyscreen that includes a list of tools and materials needed. 

 

The video below should also help you. Please let us know how you go with it!

Re: How to fix a torn flyscreen?

I had the same issue with our flyscreen recently after our overly-enthusiastic beagle jumped straight through it.

 

After attempting to fix the door with some bespoke, crude tools (namely the blunt end of a butter knife) I decided to purchase one of the kits in this video, since it was a fraction of the $110+ a professional quoted to fix the door.   The little roller tool worked a treat and my screen door is back to new. Simples.

Thanks for sharing @jake. Your beagle sounds fun! Perhaps you could post a photo on Show off your pet

 

Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the Workshop community. Please introduce yourself to the gang. We look forward to getting to know you and hearing about your projects

Yeah my cat's actually the culprit!

 

I'll have to look into purchasing this kit and have a word with my cat when I get home.
