In this video I will take you though every step and every tool you need to make any size window screen you need. We needed some HUGE screens to complete our screened in porch and I was able to make these screen frames from wood, use a screen tight system and a 84" wide roll of insect screen to make these massive screens for hardly any money at all.

[@samosasmimosas5831]

just bravo. i have no words. i even clapped when it was a wrap. the whole roofing video was immaculate too.

[@SciaticaDrums]

Doing it like this is genius. When me and a friend did my porch we did it on the outside. What a mistake! This makes SO much more sense!

[@easyliven4787]

We did the same idea for a knee wall but used translucent polycarbonate panels and added LED lights between the panels the whole length and width of our 24'x 10' deck. The whole wall lights up on both inside and outside with the lights on. Thanks for the idea it worked great. wish i could post a pic.

[@garynagle3093]

Your junior management is sure cute. That screen sure came out nice and tight.

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks Gary! Wind has loosened them a bit but they still work and look great!

[@dougdiplacido2406]

Tyler gives us another great lesson. Thanks and see you on the next one.

[@ForestWoodworks]

AWESOME! Not sure how this tutorial showed up at this time, but coincidentally my wife and I have been talking about a screened in porch for a while. Great to know I've got a place to go for starters! Thanks so much!

[@DIYTyler]

Fantastic! Good luck!

[@dtork47]

Very nicely done and love the addition!

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Great job, Tyler. I learned something on this one, my friend. Thanks for sharing. Felix

[@billhaughenberry2917]

Wow Mr. T what a professional job!

[@msmavris1]

I'm beyond repairing screens as here in Greece where I live everything is done in aluminum and is relatively cheap but this was an easy to understand and informative video! BTW, I love your shop buddy!!!

[@dwaynelejeune3508]

Perfect timing. I need to build two sliding screens doors for my shop one 12x12 foot and one 10x10foot. Thinking will need a divider on them. Will put them on a trolley system and thinking how I will fill the void to keep skeeters out

[@andrewbrown8148]

Great job, Tyler~! Love the screen room~!

[@agordencat1585]

You made this look so easy!

[@susanblackley7065]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial!

[@DudeSawdust]

I learned something new, thanks!!!👏

[@hipairbrush1053]

Looks good

[@giovannipetitti1588]

Great job as always a big hug from Italy brother 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍

[@ExperienceKevsworld]

I'm pretty sure your shop is a professional environment. Great vids!

[@riverfrontsuites7161]

Hello from Thailand. Thank you so much for your sharing. This video is great!

[@DIYTyler]

Hello! Thank you for the comment!

[@cacarlto]

THANK YOU

[@jimcooney9019]

good job on the video

[@blakelankford6930]

Pro tip: PVC pipe cutters will go through the trim stuff like butter. Good for working in the field without having to lug around a saw.

[@DIYTyler]

Great point!

[@lisaferrara8120]

Very nice!! Love your channel.

[@DIYTyler]

Thanks Lisa!!

[@agordencat1585]

Just discovered your channel. Love your videos and I love all the random little people that just pop up in the background 🙃your kids are so cute and well behaved lol

[@DIYTyler]

Thank you so much!!

[@atelierkimpara]

It's amazing👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidgulbransen6801]

Why not use a washer head screw for attaching those black plastic tracks to the frame? It would have less risk of it blowing through when driving the screws or tearing through over time. I like to use GRK’s cabinet screws 👌

[@dougprentice1363]

David, I'm getting ready to install upper cabinets. What type of screw do you use for fastening face frame of cabinets? I've seen people use drywall screws. That doesn't seem right. I bought Grk #8 trim screws. The thread seems too course for hard word face frames.

[@davidgulbransen6801]

@@dougprentice1363 I haven’t made any cabinets with hardwood face frames, so I wouldn’t have a very relevant opinion…I do know for hardwoods, in general, people tend to like finer threads, predrilling, or a combination of the two.

[@livens100]

Lowes carries Lath screws made by Teks that are perfect for projects like this. Ive used them for vinyl J channel where you dont want the plastic to pucker up like it did when he put that wood screw at the end of the screen channel.

[@m3bmw873]

Hi Tyler, where you buy the spline & the white color covers? Do you have the links?

[@user-bo8kc3rg7p]

Do you have a link for the track that you used?

[@jameow4890]

I am starting my own rescreening bussiness and I wanted to know what a good place to buy good quality screen rolls. Any help would be greatly aprieciated.

[@xsiner]

I worked at a Ace hardware store too.

[@ladams1221]

Man... Love your way of building a deck. We really wish you had included the process of building the roof in your videos. We are unclear as to how you roof & screen a free-standing deck, and still keeping it bug-free against the house???

[@DIYTyler]

It's coming! Two videos from now will be the full pergola build!

[@aaronsg71]

What was installed on the bottom portion of your porch that look like curtains?

[@Golfexpertbelieveme]

What did you use to fill any gaps after installing them? Did you use edging or caulking?

[@DIYTyler]

Caulked the inside only, looks great!

[@Golfexpertbelieveme]

@@DIYTyler nice job man. Liked this project.

[@chodge8366]

what size wood is that? 2x3?

[@anthonydtobias]

Oh my, I have repaired our screens 100's of times, I was hoping you would have included a few tips on "How to prevent kids from poking out the screen" or "How to stop your cat from climbing the freshly installed screen that you just fixed and installed like, literally a half hour ago". 🙄

[@DIYTyler]

Lol! Wish I had some of those tricks too, was a few minutes after putting these screens up and the cat had a claw through one already!!😤

[@anthonydtobias]

@@DIYTyler ha oh man! I guess I am not the only victim 🤣

[@cathiwim]

Put the child in time out, and give the cat away!

[@charlesbergquist8586]

what size spline

[@cityguyusa]

Wouldn't it be safer to cut your screen holder on the bandsaw instead of the mitre saw?

[@joeparker7508]

Watch die eye behind you dad

[@aclarkboy]

Are those 2/4?????

[@chakireladraoui9331]

[@ellsgeiwitz2234]

Beautiful daughter. I see she does your clean-up, probably should wear shoes though. Protect those tiny feet. ;-)

[@mfcosi]

Good footage but bad sound. It’s hard to hear you.

[@fenceinstallation7193]

You need some child proofing...plugged in equipment

[@jackiethurmond7280]

You shouldn't have your daughter in the work area
