Does anyone know where to buy window screens?
We need pre-made screens (4) about a foot by 2 feet. Can't find it at our local hardware store, any ideas as to where to get it online?

1. You'd probably have to have them made
Or make them yourself if you're handy. Screens are pretty simple to do.

5. it's really easy to fix them yourself--i did it, you can do it.
spline, a spline roller and a box cutter with a new blade.

6. You can special order them from Home Depot and Lowe's
The company that makes ours is Screens Atlanta. Not sure about Lowe's.

7. All right. I'll check em out.
And yes, we have both stores nearby.

The screen is not one of those "in window" screen, but an outside pin it screen.

9. I made my own solar screens with wood.
It was far cheaper then having them made, and I have saved a lot of money on the AC bill with them.
They are really easy to make.
