DIY screen protectors.

My dogs took no time to destroy my screens so I made some out of metal. Cost about $20.00 and took about an hour. Used expanded metal, MC clamps with original screws and a little paint. Slapped it in and done. Let's see the dogs destroy these ones.

 

Pics of how you attached them on the inside?

 

I thought I had better pictures of that. I will get some. Oops!

 

I need to do this. Previous owner of my shell had a big dog. It tore the screens up.

 

Great idea and looks awesome!

 

Pictures added.

 

Conduit clamps and you reused the factory screws? Just unscrew, screw back in with the clamp attached?

Seems too easy..

 

Super easy and inexpensive. Just use cardboard to mock up a templet.

Thanks

 

Yep, reuse existing screw and hole.

 

What'd you use to cut the expanded metal?

 

Cut-off wheel on a 4" grinder. Then used sanding disk to fit it perfectly and knock off sharp edges.

 

I'll need it too. My girlfriend and I are looking at adopting a German shepherd and a golden doodle next year.

 

Well done, nice mod!

 

Where did you get the metal?

 

I have a big dog, a German Shepard. Some dogs can be destructive as hell if they get bored, or are still puppies. The bigger the dog the bigger the destruction. I think your solution is just the thing to cause your dogs to look elsewhere for their entertainment.

 

You can find it at home improvement stores.. my local Home Depot carries it in smallish sizes.

 

Sweet I'll check my HD

 

I got mine at a true metal retailer but as mentioned HD probably has it too.

 

That last sentence kinda scares me. Maybe the liner next?

 

Some dogs will tear up a bowling ball if you leave in the back yard!
