Fly mesh is an easy and affordable way to prevent insects from entering your home while allowing fresh air flow. This project can be completed independently with a handful of materials and tools. This is a complete guide on installing a Fly Mesh For Windows.

Step 1. Start by gathering your materials and tools

If you don’t have the tools and materials you need, you can start without them. The installation will be easier and quicker if you have all the necessary materials. What you will need is:

• Fly mesh is available in polyester or fibreglass.
• Measurement tape
• Utility knife or scissors
• Magnetic strips or self-adhesive Velcro Tape
• Clean cloth
• Marker or pencil

You will save time by having everything prepared before you begin the installation.

Step 2. Then, measure your window

For a tight fit, accurate measurements are essential. Measure the dimensions of the windows where the fly mesh will be installed.

• Width: Measure the width from the window frame to one side.
• Height: Measuring from top to bottom of window frames.

To ensure accuracy, write down the measurements. Measuring twice is better than cutting the mesh wrong.

The Fly Mesh is now ready to be cut

Once you’ve taken your measurements, cut the mesh according to size.

1. Place the mesh flat on a surface.
2. Mark the measurements on the mesh using a pencil or marker.
3. Use scissors or a utility knife to carefully cut the mesh along marked lines. To ensure complete coverage, the mesh should be cut slightly more significantly than the window frame.

You can make adjustments to the mesh by cutting it a little larger. This will ensure that there are no holes for insects.

Step 3. Attach the Velcro Tape or Magnetic Strips

You can attach your fly mesh using self-adhesive Velcro or magnetic strips, depending on your preference. The fly mesh can be attached and removed easily with either option.

• Velcro Tape:
  • Remove any dirt or dust from the frame of your window with a soft cloth.
  • Stick the Velcro around your window frame by peeling off the backing on one side.
  • The Velcro strips are attached to the edge of the mesh.
• Magnetic Strips:
  • As mentioned earlier, clean the window frames.
  • The magnetic strip can be used to attach the strips to the frame of the windows.
  • The magnetic strips should be attached to the edge of the mesh.

Make sure the magnetic or adhesive strips are securely attached. This will prevent the mesh from becoming loose.

Step 5. Install the Flymesh

Install the window fly mesh using Velcro or magnetic tape.

1. Start at the window’s top edge and press the Velcro or magnetic tape onto the mesh.
2. Press down on the side to ensure the mesh is even and taut.
3. Secure the mesh bottom to the frame.

To ensure an attractive appearance, smooth out wrinkles and bubbles. Fly mesh will now be securely attached to the frame of your window, providing sufficient insect protection.

Maintaining and extending the life of your lawn mower

Follow these tips to maintain your window fly mesh and prolong its life span.

• Cleaning Regularly: Dust and dirt may accumulate in the mesh over time. Clean the mesh with a vacuum or soft brush to maintain visibility and airflow.
• Check for Damages: Periodically inspect the mesh for tears or other damage. Patch any holes using a repair kit. Replace the mesh if needed.
• Secure attachment: Make sure the Velcro or magnetic strip remains firmly adhered to the window frame. As needed, replace any adhesive that has worn out.

Conclusion

Fly mesh can be installed on windows easily and quickly. It will keep insects at bay while still allowing airflow. Follow these simple steps to enjoy an insect-free home in no time. The process works equally well whether you use magnetic strips or Velcro tape. Enjoy installing!
