Required tools and materials

The basis will be a conventional mosquito net installed on metal plastic windows. It is not necessary to remove the fine mesh coating, it will remain on the frame as before, and prevent insects from entering the room. But since its protective functions are insignificant, it will be necessary to strengthen the metal analog, which is called antikoshka or antikot. The contractor needs to purchase a grid for enclosures with a cell size of 2.5-3 cm. For fastening, self-cuts of 1 cm length, an aluminum threshold( for making side fastenings), nippers and a hacksaw for metal will be necessary.

Correct installation of an anti-catcher grid on windows requires the installation of side anchors, which ensure its strong and reliable fixation. Therefore, you will need screws and nuts( preferably choose lambs) M4 with a diameter of 18 mm. The mounting will be made from an aluminum threshold, so you should use a regular wire cutter or any other tool that allows you to smoothly and accurately bend the trimmed strips.

Operation procedure

The metal mesh is cut according to the frame size. To make the grid on the window of the antikoshka fulfill the functional requirements, it is necessary to fix the element with the help of self-tapping screws on the inside. The distance between adjacent fastenings is 1-2 cells.

External plastic fasteners can crack and crack, they can be replaced with new ones, and they can be supplemented with aluminum fasteners for greater reliability.

If you choose the latter option, you will need to make lateral fasteners that will help fix the antikoshku grid on the plastic window. Strips are cut from the aluminum threshold, holes are drilled and zigzagged.

The attached photos of the anti-catnet grid on the windows allow you to see the exact shape of the required elements. On the outer side of the frame, screw M4 is screwed into the central crossbeam, the fasteners prepared from the threshold are put on the inside from it. At the tip of the screw screwed a nut-lamb size.

After fitting the grid, the antikoshka can be cleaned and replaced. First it is installed in the upper and lower supports from the outside. Then fasten the fastener to the screw and press it until the net is firmly pressed against the frame. Evaluate the work done, you can try, how much protection is firmly established. If necessary, press the nuts of the winged sheep.
