Default DIY Screen Covers
Hi Folks,

Having an issue...

I picked up some plastic bird netting to use for a screen cover for my 125 reef.

However I need something to frame it with.. Was going to use traditional window screen stuff, but its like 20$ ea a kit and I would need 3.

Anyone have any other solution?

Bulk reef supply sells a kit for about $24 for everything. That's all I've seen

I know here, you can buy the rails and corners individually at Home Depot. Not sure how much though.

We don't have a home depot.. (I live in a small town) but there is one a few hours away. Next time I'm that way I will have to check.

This is why I used eggcrate. One 2x4 sheet was enough for the whole tank. Half the time you can find it lying around somewhere.

Rona has 3'x3' kits for $14 plus 25' of spline for $4. So, for $30 you could make two 3' screens.
