How to remove a fly screen?

Hi all, 

 

Seeking some help in replacing a fly screen. I have replaced the mesh before, I just don't know how I'm meant to remove this style of screen in order to do that.

Can I take this one off easily? I couldn't see a way.

 

Thanks,

Dylan

Re: How to remove a fly screen?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @DylanP. It's sensational to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about removing a flyscreen.

 

If the flyscreen frame is fixed solidly in position and doesn't lift up and pull out, then there's a good chance that those pop rivets are securing the frame. The heads of the pop rivets would need to be drilled out to check whether they are securing the frame in position.
 

I'd recommend drilling out the heads on those pop rivets and see whether the frame is then released.


Please let me know if you have any questions.
