Want to make my own fly screens

[what..the?]

I have decided on two different styles one for doors and one for windows. I have velcro, doublesided tape and tension rods. All I need now is the net fabric.

Wonder if anyone knows where I can go 'instore' to get some fabric netting material 'small enough weave to stop flys and midges'. On a roll type would be good - cut the size you want.

Also any advice on how to make a tab/tube in the ends on the net so I can thread a tension rod (net rod) through, I thought about folding the top edge down and stitching across or trying iron on heming stuff. I am not a 'sewing person' and cannot really sew in a straight line any suggestions???

Thanks in advance

I made a screen door last year, I started by Googling fly screen which iead me to 'The fly screen queen' I then ordered some fine mesh material ( Rayon, I think) it arrived in about 2 days.
I made up a wooden frame with a cross piece 1/2 way and joined it all together using ' L ' shaped brackets for the corners and ' T ' brackets for the middle section.
Next step was to cut the material to length and attach it to the frame using a heavy duty staple gun.
Now came the time to fix it to the outside of the door frame, obviously it needed to open the opposite way fron the door, Ithen fitted a ' D ' shaped handle on the middle bit and the upright which helped with the strength of fhe frame.
The hinges I chose was the kind that you can remove the central pin, this makes it easy if you want to store it away for the winter.
It all worked fine til my german shepherd dog spotted a squirrel outside and ran straight through it ! but luckily it was easy enough to repair. Good Luck with it Tbird+

Thanks for that I will look in to the fly screen material you mention.

I have double glazed doors and windows and the property is rented so am I stuck with using just material and velcro and double sided tape. I have planned it all out though so hopefully it will all work fine.

I don't have a german shepherd though so that will help lol.

Thanks for the response x
