We will tell you how to make a mosquito net with your own hands on a plastic window for 72 rubles.
There are two reasons that encourage people to abandon the purchase of a ready-made mosquito net in a frame with fasteners. First, it is the price that depends on the size of the window and is approximately 700 - 1000 rubles. Secondly, the problem where to store grids from windows in winter. They are quite large and occupy a significant place in the apartment, which is always not enough. The option with which we will get acquainted will cost you 10 times cheaper and places in the cabinet will take place no more than a shoe box.
So, the choice is obvious, take care. To do this, we will need a cut of a conventional mosquito net size over the width of the window opening, with an increase of 4-5 cm on each side. You can buy it in any construction store. You also need to buy a cord, optimally, with a diameter of 4 mm. Please note that the diameter should be specified in the labeling of the cord. It is not necessary when buying to navigate "on the eye", since the cord of a smaller diameter, you will not be able to fix the grid, and with a large diameter it will cope much more difficult.
Mounting mosquito net.
When the necessary materials are already before you, the mosquito net installation itself will take you no more than half an hour. Open the window sash, where you will mount the mosquito net.
Gently remove the sealing gum from the frame around the perimeter of the open window. On the sash itself, the sealing gum is not needed.

Start mounting a mosquito mesh canvas is more convenient from the top left corner. We apply a mosquito net to the frame and fix with the cord, pressing it into the grooves freed from the sealing tape. So that the cord confidently occupied his place, we recommend pressing it, using some stupid item, for example, a kitchen knife handle. Continue the fixation of the grid throughout the perimeter. Focus on the cells on the grid so that the canvas lay down exactly, and also try to mount it with a good stretch. This will make the finished work more aesthetic.
The remaining edges of the mosquito net can be cut to the cord itself all over the perimeter, but if you plan to remove it during the summer and re-mount it, then it is better to leave this edge. It will make it easier to edit. To remove this design, it is enough to pull over the cord.
There is an even more easy, but less practical way to fasten the self-made mosquito net. This is a fastening with the help of ordinary velcro. A part of the velcro with hooks is glued on the frame around the perimeter, and the second part is penetrated on the net. It is worth saying that the structure of the grid allows you to even do without a pile of velcro. It hooks well with hooks by itself. Both installations of the homemade mosquito net will allow you to save money and the useful area of the house.
