Hello @krunalM_12 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your flyscreen.

Would it be possible for you to post a few photos of your flyscreen door? This will give our members a better idea of how bad the damage is. We can then make recommendations on how to proceed.

We do have a guide - How to replace a flyscreen, but it would be practical to see your screen's current status first. In this manner we'll be able to make accurate suggestions.

If you need a hand posting the photos, please let me know.

Hello @krunalM_12 

Thank you for sharing those pictures of your screen door. It appears that the flyscreen has deteriorated at the edge and needs to be replaced. I suggest measuring the height and width of the screen door. This will give you a good idea of what screen size to get.

On your next visit to the store, I suggest cutting a bit of the old screen off and bringing it with you so that you can compare it to the flyscreen at the store. In this manner you can be sure that it is similar to the one that you currently have on your door.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Thank you, Eric! What else would I need to purchase?

Hi @krunalM_12 

If it looks like the rubber spline is brittle, I suggest cutting some off and bringing it with you as well and getting a new set. To help with installation, I recommend getting a Cyclone Tufflite Synthetic Spline Roller. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
