When replacing screening in wooden frames, you may
discover some problems with the frame itself. Wood
shrinks, warps, and moves, so joints often come loose.
Loose joints on wooden frames can easily be reinforced
with fasteners, angle plates or screws. |

 Pry up the
screen molding with a small chisel or screwdriver. If the
molding is sealed with paint, use a utility knife to cut
the paint film and free the molding. |

Stretch the new screen fabric tightly across the frame and
hold it in place with staples or thumbtacks. It usually
works well to leave extra screen overhanging the frame so
you can pull it tightly before stapling. Then simply trim
the overhang once it is secured. |

 Nail the
screen molding back in place with wire brads. Cut away the
excess screen fabric with a utility knife. |
