    I used this technique but ripped a dado in a 4x4 post and made the same trim parts as they show and it worked great. Primed and painted all parts for northern Minnesota weather. Be sure to use Superscreen product. Not cheap but strong.

    at 1:14 he shows a mockup with 3 2x4s. The mockup would have 2 5/8 of the "tongue" 2x4 visible. I guarantee that is not what they've actually built. What they've built has about an inch of the tongue visible.

  • @939Aed
    @939Aed Рік тому +2

    How do you do the corners? There will be an overlap corner fold, and I presume the dado trim pieces were abutted, not mitered, but that was not shown. Should the sides be trimmed before the top and bottom trim is installed?

    This doesn't add up. He's got that third 2x4 sticking out to create that dato and he calls it a 2x4 on the painted parts already installed and in that little mockup, but that doesn't look like a 2x4, it looks like a 2x2, or is it a 2x4 ripped in half? How did you make the 1 3/4" filler?

    Staples rapidly rust, therefore do the screws keep the screen tight ?

    • @buck19
      @buck19 8 місяців тому

      I think its more of a temporary fastener because all the dado edges are screwed in place. You can use stainless to help prevent rot

    As an amateur observer, wouldn’t it make sense to have used black screws so as to save painting the screw heads?

    • @kenklose
      @kenklose 4 роки тому

      Just guessing that those screws are stainless steel to prevent rust. Weather resistance is more important than cosmetics, as you say the screw heads can be painted.

    • @jasonjayalap
      @jasonjayalap 4 роки тому

      Drywall screws? Would have been strong enough. Big reason not to is the need for clearance holes. The frame/rabbet piece needs to be tight against the 2x4, but without a clearance hole or in this case the smooth shank of a wood screw, the piece might not completely sandwich wood against wood. I’m talking about when you use a drywall screw and no clearance hold in the top piece of wood and when you screw it leaves a gap instead of tightly pressing the pieces together. You ideally have clearance holes even with wood screws.

      Question to any experts in the industry which do you think would be better for the homes value? Doing it yourself or hiring a professional? From what I'm seeing it could cost as low as 450$-2885$ Are these figures close to what you guys normally charge or are these outrageous prices or are they too low?

    Fiberglass screen is too easily torn. Now this is going to be a pain in the butt to replace. They could have done aluminum channels with spline and just sandwiched the edges between wood.

    • @cup_and_cone
      @cup_and_cone 4 роки тому +3

      And this is considered a "luxury" install over (far superior) aluminum channel screening. Just wait several years as the wood settles with weathering....the screen will get saggy and gaps will open in the wood, paint will chip and scratch. All the cabins done here at state park are starting to look really poor after just a few years. Aluminum is the way to go for screening over this method... though this method shown probably is a better match for historical homes. A lot of colonial/plantation homes are done this way in the South for aesthetics, even if aluminum is superior.
