Roll-up mosquito nets are one of the most requested by users. Some of the reasons for this is their ease of use, that when they are collected they remain completely “invisible”, and that they are one of the easiest to install.
Of course, you always have the option. call a professional to take care of measuring and installation. But the bill, as you can imagine, will be higher than if the installation is done by you.
Also, if you like DIY, you will enjoy while saving money.
There are countless local stores and, above all, online stores specializing in the sale of roller mosquito nets, among others, without installation. Precisely for this reason, the advisory service from taking measurements to installation is truly efficient.
How to install roller mosquito nets
However, and despite this highly personalized service that these stores provide for free, below I will show you how simple its installation is, seeing the step-by-step procedure.
1st Step – Measurements
The first thing we have to do is measure the hole where the roller mosquito net will be installed.
With a tape measure we will measure both the height and the width of the opening.
Normally, the fabric of the windows is not completely square, so we have to do a double measurement. The height of the hole, we must measure it at both ends, keeping the shorter length.
With the width of the hole we will proceed exactly in the same way.
2nd Step – Choose the roller mosquito net
Once we have the measurements written down, we will sit quietly in front of the computer and carry out the following search: custom roll-up mosquito nets. We will get a lot of results.
Internet sales are working better and better, and the vast majority of companies that use this sales channel are just as serious and professional as physical stores. However, it never hurts to take a look at the comments of other users.
Well, that said, to make the right choice we have to take into account some detail than another:
- The color of the structure of the roller mosquito net. Normally, it is the same color as the window.
- We must decide if we want the mosquito net to be made of normal wire mesh or, on the contrary, to be anti-pollen and anti-mite.
- And, of course, the measures that we have had to take previously.
Of course, when in doubt, contact the company you have chosen.
Once you are clear about what you want, even if it is something obvious, you must place the order. In a few days they will deliver it to you at home.
3rd Step – Prepare everything you need for the installation
Before preparing the tools for assembly, which are really very basic, we must open the package and check that it contains all the necessary parts, as well as the instructions.
If everything is OK, we will prepare all the tools that we will need.
- Drill.
- Masonry drill bits.
- Screwdriver.
- Hammer.
- Pencil.
As you can see, they are normal tools that any “handyman” usually has.
4th Step – Assembly of the roller mosquito net
To assemble the mosquito net, we will start by fixing the anchors of the drum inside which the mosquito net is rolled up at the top of both sides.
If they are mounted directly on the structure of the window, we screw them without further ado.
On the contrary, if they are attached to the wall, we have to drill a hole, insert a nylon plug, and then screw the anchors.
Once this is done, we insert the mosquito net until it clicks.
Next, we place the closure of the hooks and insert the supports into the guides.
And finally, we insert the side guides into the drum from the top, and fix them with screws from the bottom.
Did you expect more? Did you find it too simple? The article already began by saying that the mounting system for roller mosquito nets is one of the simplest.
However, I include below a much more graphic, descriptive and eloquent video tutorial than my words.
