Pros

  • Kit includes all essentials for building custoized window screens.
  • Corner pieces fit tightly, ensuring a secure assembly.
  • Side springs are of good quality.
  • The assembly process is straightforward and easy to follow.
  • Offers significant cost savings compared to professional installation services.
  • Finished screens look professional and comparable to those from window shops.

Cons

  • Overall quality appears good, but cut ends may have sharp edges.
  • Many users report issues with frame bowing and warping under tension.
  • Screen material is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Frame material is described as flimsy and not durable.
  • Not suitable for larger window openings; may only be adequate for very small windows.
  • Instructions were unclear and lacking in detail.

Bottom Line

The 5/16"x60" white Alum Screen Frame Kit provides a cost-effective way to build custom window screens with a professional look. However, the frame's light-duty material can lead to bowing and durability issues, particularly for larger screens. Applying the right techniques during assembly can alleviate some issues, but the product may not meet the needs of users with larger windows or those seeking long-term durability. Users should be ready to purchase screen material separately and consider adding a crossbar to prevent bowing in taller screens.
