Measure and Cut the Screen Material
Materials:
- Measuring tape
- Pencil or marking tool
- Scissors or utility knife
- Screen material
Instructions:
- Measure the window frame: Using a measuring tape, measure the length and width of the window frame (from inside to inside). Note down these measurements carefully.
- Add a few inches: To ensure a snug fit, add approximately 2 inches to both the length and width measurements. These additional inches will be used for the screen frame.
- Mark the screen material: Using the adjusted measurements, mark the length and width of the screen material on the side facing you. Make sure the marks are straight and precise.
- Cut the screen material: Carefully cut the screen material along the marked lines. Use scissors for small or straight cuts, while a utility knife may be more appropriate for curved or large cuts.
