We tell how to choose the right items and install the design in the window or doorway.
In summer, insects deliver a lot of trouble. They suffer from them not only owners of country sites, but also residents of urban apartments. To solve it, you have to endure the smell of electrofumyers and other means, or try to keep the vents closed. On the ventilation of the room when the light is on in the evening can not be speech. Immediately, the hordes of mosquitoes, moths and other unaccounted guests will fall. But there is one proven way to help get rid of this attack. It is necessary to put in the opening or on the sash the grid and carefully close all the slots. The question rests on only how to assemble a mosquito net on the window.

How to install a frame in the opening
Find components will be easy. The design efficiency depends on whether the assembly has been taken correctly.
What material to choose
The basis is the polymer or natural fabric.- Cotton - has all the necessary properties, but poorly tolerates constant humidity. In the middle strip it is rarely used.
- Nylon - is an anti-allergenic material, well delays dust and pollen.
- Polyester - it does not have special properties. Serves long in any climate. It is durable and not afraid of dampness.
- Fiberglass - as follows from the name, the material has glass properties. It is almost transparent and is distinguished by very high strength. Such a fabric does not break and serves a long time. It is often used on the upper floors if pets live in the apartment. The canvas easily withstands the weight of the cat.
Plastic, metal and wood are used to create a frame. The last option is specifically designed for wooden double-glazed windows and is quite rare. Metal products have the greatest strength.
How to make a frameless grid
The simplest solution is to install on the window profile. The fabric will not interfere with the discovery and closure of the sash. To fix it in the baguette, velcro and wovel cord are used. The advantage of this method is that it does not load translucent designs. In addition, the rolled material to store is much more convenient than a tough unbending frame.
Fastening on lipochki
They are two stripes. On one of them, the face is covered with a pile, on the other - small metal hooks. Such clasps are often used on clothing and sports shoes. They are sold in a haberdashery store. The back side is an adhesive tape with a protective coating. Such a system works like bilateral scotch. If this coating is not provided behind, you can take the usual "moment". It keeps well on plastic.
To assemble a mosquito net with your own hands, you must first sew a dysple part of the velcro all over the perimeter. The PVC profile from the inside of the room is glued with hooks. The tape must be connected at the joints. Do not allow breaks. If there is emptiness in the mounting foam layer, it is better to eliminate them. You can not leave the gaps - insects are easily turned into them, feeling warm and smell.
The fabric is measured along the sash. It must coincide with the frame in size. Fasteners are sewn from the edge around the perimeter. When everything is ready, the canvas can be fastened and disassemble if necessary. It does not interfere with the sash to close and serves as an additional seal.
Mounting with a tan cord
The thickness of the cord should be 4 mm. It corresponds to the width of the channel on the window frame, in which the rubber damper-seal is installed.
To carry out installation, the seal damper is removed. The fabric is trimmed along the inner perimeter of the opening. His edges come to the canal and pressed in it with a cord. It enters tightly, so the edges will not fall out over time. Surplus are cut.
How to make a frame of plastic or aluminum
Not so long ago, thin wooden rails were used as a framing. Of these, a rectangular design was laid. It was stretched with a canvas and nailed with small nails. Rakes kept not securely. Even with a gentle handling, the design served more than two seasons. Now you can independently assemble a mosquito net from component elements. They are specially produced for these purposes and are ready-made sets. They can be purchased from glass package manufacturers. PVC and aluminum are used as material.Set
- Planks from which the frame is collected.
- Canvas.
- Corners with holes for slats. They serve fasteners for these elements.
- Pens.
- Rubber sealing cord.
- The transverse rail with fasteners - it is used if the height exceeds 1 m. It is necessary to increase the rigidity.
- Self-tapping screw 1.6 cm long.
You should begin with measuring the light opening - this is the visible part of the window with an open sash. Planks will be located at its edges.
If they are too long, they can be shortened with a metal hacksaw. It should be borne in mind that they come into corners on each side about 2 cm. Burzes are removed with a file.
The assembly is made on a flat surface, otherwise there is a breakdown. Corners may have a hole for a profile or a protrusion that is inserted into the hole within the precast element. There are combined models. If the details are attached easily, most likely, they are defective. The more difficult to connect them, the stronger they will hold. As a rule, when docking is used hammer. In order not to damage the surface, a wooden bar or part of the plywood sheet is applied to it, then the hammer is neatly hit.
In the assembly process you need to constantly check the angles. When the basis is ready, the transverse plank is attached to it if necessary. For this, T-shaped corners or special devices are used. To insert this element in the corner, it must be less internal width by 2-4 mm. Simple ways are applied for fixing. How to assemble an anti-moskit grid on the window, you can understand yourself, but in order to avoid errors you need to act according to the instructions.
When the frame is ready, it is placed horizontally and spread the cloth over it. It should go beyond the perimeter of 5 cm frames on each side. In profiles there are special grooves. The rubber sealing cord is pressed from above through the network. It is more convenient to do the job using the handle of some small tool. Suitable knife or screwdriver. You can start with an angle or from the middle - it is not so essential. The main thing is that the cord is tightly, tensioned the fabric well and filled his deepening. It is important that the tension is uniform - otherwise the framework will overflow. To align it, it is enough to press on the material near the deflection. Then she will come out a little from under the cord. If it did not work, it will have to pull it out and start everything from the beginning. In the absence of irregularities, the excess length is cut.
Plastic handles are attached under the grid in the groove. From above, they are fixed with a rubber cord. Metal are mounted on screws when the canvas is already stretched.
How to assemble mosquito net for doors yourself
According to the design and method of assembly, they do not differ from the window. Often they are made of a thicker profile. They should be more reliable because they constantly have to open and close.
An essential difference is door fittings - loops and handles from two sides. They are mounted on screws and come with the rest of the items.
There are models of their PVC created specifically for balconies. The highest strength possesses the elements in which metal fittings are provided. Plastic may not withstand loads.
How to fix the grid in the opening
Fasteners are sold complete with the rest of the items.Types of fasteners
- Rigid fixation. For it, Z-shaped brackets are used or corners installed on the edges of the frame.
- Swing structures.
- Sliding.
- Folded.
There are finished products that do not need to collect. They may also provide other ways to open. It is convenient to use pliz or sliding canvas.
The method of assembly and installation may differ depending on the design and material. If the instructions lack information on how to collect a mosquito net with your own hands, you can always consult from its manufacturers.
