You can watch my screened in porch build 👉🏼

[@number1pappy]

When we lived in Florida, I went through the same frustration you did. It was right after a hurricane came through and ripped all our screens. At the time, it was impossible to get screen guys out in a timely manner, as you can expect after a storm. After fighting with round spines, I stopped at a home that had a crew working on their screens and asked one of the guys working. He showed me the correct way and showed me which spline to buy. He also said the round spline was mainly for window screens and that they only used the flat style as it held the screen in better with the "c" style grooves. I will say this once you get the hang of it ....its actually easier than trying to cram a round spline into the groove. Excellent video! This is an example of real-world issues that we DIYers deal with. 😊

Thanks for taking us along on that wild ride! You've got at least 450 people who now know how to install this stuff the right way.

[@johnjrkean7008]

The fact that u made this video speaks volumes about ur character... much respect my friend

[@emilyl5829]

Thanks for showing this. I've gained a lot of respect for you based on this video.

[@Amy-and-Ozzy]

This is why I respect you so much Jeff. I laugh when you say perfect every time because I know that normally ends up not being the case. Not in a bad way at all, making mistakes is how we learn and if we teach others then brilliant.

[@steven-perkins]

Thank you so much for this video. Not only did I need to do this same project, but your approach to addressing failures as well as successes continues to show your incredible integrity and dedication to your following. Huge huge fan! Keep the content flowing my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jeremyrebel8931]

This is the stuff nobody shows us on KZbin. You just helped alot of ppl and I applaud you for making the reality of the crap we run into when doing diy! You are top notch!!

[@millie1291]

Thank you for showing this. I already respect your work ethic and knowledge but this video just raised that exponentially.

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

I can totally relate to your frustration! Thanks for sharing with us! It is kind of comforting to see even a seasoned pro get frustrated with a diy project!

[@16easports]

You learn the most from failure. Thank you Jeff!!!

[@dm747]

This is a great video. You have discovered and exposed a well kept secret that few know. It is interesting how some people can just gloss over something that is so critical for the success of a project. Other than skill its the little things that really make the big differences between Pro vs DIY. Thank you.

In my handyman biz I just had a bunch of calls to replace screen. It takes a bit to clear the confusion on the different screens and spline size. One tip is to use the “ Big Box” app on your phone (since nobody there knows what’s what). Product page in the app usually has the size of the spline on the product page.

[@ninjaguy155ROBLOX]

Hi Jeff, In Florida, we use flat spline for screen enclosures, use round spline for window screen. So many people including me learned the hard way at beginning, there are some KZbin video show you how to do it the correct way. Welcome to FL.

[@PatLarsenYoutube]

I’m installing screen for the first time in a couple days. This is the first video I watched for research, it’s not the same type of frame on the house I’m working on, so I almost skipped watching this. I’m so glad I didn’t skip it. Not only for the relatable frustration, but I learned a lot. Great video. Love the way you didn’t cut when things were going wrong and explained all the frustration that we all have dealt with at one time or another 👍🏻👍🏻

[@stockbulll]

Here's a tip... use the plastic spline roller tools instead of the metal ones. The plastic tools are much less likely to cut the screen when using them.

[@HassanGreen]

Jeff you are the Bob Ross of Home Reno!!! Thank you and your team for enlightening us with useful videos.

[@nygmail4027]

Hey Lol I just saw this video and was getting ready to tell you how to do it. And tell you you had the right spline to begin with. I didn’t know how well you would take my advice as a woman. I just went through this process because a tree fell and took out half of my screen enclosure. I had to piece it back together, half the size and re-screen it it took me a minute to figure out how to put the spline in the right way too. But by the end of your video, I saw you figured it out. 😁

[@Anthony-fe4oj]

Love this. Makes me feel better about my screw ups
