Thanks Buy some fiberglass netting, not metal mesh. Remove the screen frame carefully so as not to break the plastic clips. Cut and trim the netting so that it just lays in the frame. Glue in with a hot melt glue gun. Use glue sticks that give you a little time before they set up hard to allow you to time to align the screen. Allow the glue to cure for an hour or so. Reinstall. Crack a beer and admire your handiwork. If you're like me, you'll have to tack it back down in mid July after your wife leaves the window open for ventilation and the wind pulls the screen loose. Glue guns can be had for < $10US, usually with a small assortment of sticks. Jack
