The next step involves cutting the screen material and anchoring it to the bottom of the wood frame and to the wood anchor block.
  • Cut the screen material 2" wider and 8" longer than the outside dimensions of the screen frame.
  • Staple one end of the screen material to the bottom of the wood frame.
  • With the screen frame about 3" away from the anchor block, place the other end of the screen material over the top of the frame and over the first wood anchor block.
  • Place the second wood anchor block on top of the screen material and the first anchor block, sandwiching the screen between the two anchor blocks.
  • Screw the two anchor blocks together holding the screen material firmly in place.
