Aluminum Screen Frame, 3/4X5/16X72 SCREEN FRAME

Overall sturdy, very good price. Only negative was some pieces had dome dings in them and the end cuts were not perfect 90 degrees. Still buying all the components, frame, corners, springs, stine and screen much cheaper than having a screen made. Cost came out to a little over $22 a window versus having custom made at $135-$150 a window.

The screens that came from the window manufacturer were bowed like an hourglass. I was especially impressed and relieved that those I made with this product came with a slight bow. After constructing a jig to hold and build the frames (ten 5 x 5 screens) they came out perfectly. Great product packaged perfectly and fast delivery. I also bought corners and spline from the same manufacturer.

My only complaint is that they were a little scratched up on each end of the sticks

Replaced my old screens with solar screens. These frame pieces are good quality and easy to work with. I was able to cut them all with a miter box and hacksaw.To make the screens I used 5/16 screen frames, 0.155 diameter spline and the 5/16 stamped aluminum frame corners. I used Phifer SuperSolar screens.Came out really nice and I can already tell a difference in both sun glare and heat transfer through the windows.

I bought the 20 piece case to make screens for 10 windows on a house my wife and I are renovating. This is a good product and I like the way it is bowed so when the screen is stretched tight the frame should be straight. I've never been able to install screen without bowing the frame and even with the counter bow on this product I pulled in the frame of the first two I made but with a little practice I made eight really nice screens. I used fiberglass screen (since I already had a 100' roll) and the recommended .185 spline. The spline was a very snug fit and hard to roll in . If I had it to do over I would go with .175 spline.

We used this frame to make new screens for our 20 year old mobile home, whose screens were cheap when new and obliterated with age. This screen frame is really nice - very sturdy but easy to work with. The corners we bought (same brand) are so much more sturdy than what had disintegrated in our old screens and were very easy to install in the cut frames. We found a rubber mallet came in very handy to seat them. Overall we are very satisfied with these DIY screen-making products and have enjoyed a nice Saturday project. We purchased pet-grade screen that our cats (hopefully) won't destroy so we can let fresh air in and keep the bugs out. We highly recommend these products.

Mine were sent with no wrap at all on the ends, just loose in a long cardboard box. When I opened I thought I'd definitely be cutting that end down to size, but it turned out that was the better-looking end.They seem structurally fine and this length is not easily available locally, so I'll just do the extra work of cutting on BOTH ends to get my size right. Screen frames are not something I really think about for cosmetics, but my set is in unexpectedly poor shape. Other sets I've gotten from local stores are bundled in plastic wrap on both ends and a very light cardboard cap, but that's enough for them to look flawless in comparison.

First I was disappointed that the profiles , were bend . Then I realized that is on purpose , to stretch the screen fabric in the middle !
