Good video just would recommend a few things: 1. Remove the spline prior to cutting the pieces. 2. Put a book with a gallon of water or large ceramic floor tile in the middle of the screen before you install the spline this will help keep tension to avoid the hourglass shape or bowing in of the long side pieces. 3. Purchase the Screen Tight brand roller tool from Lowes or Home Depot it is bigger and will not cut the screen like that metal one will. 4. If you have extra spline or the old spline cut some 3"-4" pieces and then pre-roll each groove in the corner and install part way the short pieces of spline to ensure no wrinkles.

I did not see how you added the spring at the bottom, which is why I watched the video!

Thank you so much! I followed your video exactly, and after one bad measurement and a return to the store later, I’ve got a brand new window screen.

Your video here was the better of the 5 that I watched. I especially liked the trick of marking your cut by physically including the corners. I credit your instruction for the good results that I had making my screen. Thanks.

I appreciate Scott's methodical instructions in the frame construction. Thanks!

Arm chair quarterback here. If you cut a piece of trim and place it between you long side, that will help minimize the "squeeze" that occurs when you set the screen with the spline tool

Thank you for this video, everything in detail and not too long or too brief. I've got a lot of screens to replace in the apartment

nicely done, lil tip if your house windows are not as pretty, measure 2x cut once. function over form test fit is a must(pre screen) then roll screen. if it fits nice! if not well you might have to start over, the screens have some play just get it the best you can to make it work:D

I just bought a house and not a single window has a screen.
Thank you for this video. I will be getting those kits and be able to keep the bugs out and the cat in.
