Subject: Re: WED 19 JULY by vetteblondie on 2023/7/19 16:57:34 good morning, what's left of it. Rainy looking out side today but none yet. Did seem cooler this morning. Storms were horrible yesterday, high winds, hail , the whole nine yards. Lots without power, one tree on our street uprooted. We've had so much rain it's a wonder they all weren't. We got a solid inch in the short amount of time the storm was here. And, my redneck skeeter screen remained in place. Not where I can screen in a patio right now, and not gonna try in this humidity, so came up with an alternative. $20 Had the track up already from having plastic up this past winter. Took plastic down then bought the mesh for summer . I also ordered a magnetic doorway that I’ll add in with quick hand stitch but it hasn’t come in yet. I have not weighted this at bottom , there’s a good 1.5 feet extra but I can easily if I need to . To hold at top I folded mesh over a couple times then poked cording in there so my clips would hold better but the cording really isn’t necessary. Note: those mesh things that fit over umbrellas would work too plus they have water tubes on bottom to add weight. I chose not to get them done I was trying to go the cheaper route and I needed 95” minimum height, most of those things are onlu 7-7.5' tall. Between 65' of screen at 10' tall, and the magnetic opening, I'm out about $50. |
