SGDude Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Any idea where to get pet window screens for sliding windows and top-hinged windows in Bangkok? Something like this: http://www.exclusivescreens.co.uk/prodpage.asp?ProdID=320 http://www.exclusivescreens.co.uk/prodpage.asp?ProdID=267 http://www.petscreenkit.com/ http://hardware.hardwarestore.com/72-156-a...ow-screens.aspx I tried to get velcro from a hardware store and stick a piece of plastic mesh over it but it isn't sturdy enough. Too bad my apartment does not have window grilles because it would have been easier to attach the plastic mesh over the window grilles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGDude Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Any idea guys? Would be grateful if someone could find it for me. Willing to pay money to someone who can read and speak Thai to search for products like this in Thailand. I am not looking for mosquito net screens. They are too thin and will be torn apart by my pets in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure they are stronger then the plastic pet screen that you have specified. Edited March 3, 2009 by trogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGDude Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Even if I have a strong mesh... I am not sure how to secure it onto my window frame. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contractor would be able to suggest type of frame and mesh panels to suit your window and door types. You cannot DIY such screens. If sliding screens are proposed, tell the contractor to include lockable latches so that pets cannot scratch open them.

SGDude Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 I need something that won't require drilling. I live in a rented apartment and I do not wish to damage the existing window frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) I need something that won't require drilling. I live in a rented apartment and I do not wish to damage the existing window frames. Are those aluminium sliding windows? If so, there would be a thin raised track on the inside for placing a sliding mosquito net screen. Not drilling required. You can also ask the contractor for their strongest aluminium mesh as pet screen. Edited March 4, 2009 by trogers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I used this contractor for mosquito net screen recently. Price is about Baht 2200/m2. It will probably cost more for a stronger grade of mesh. Khun Beung Mung Tel: 084-695-2252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGDude Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have 1 sliding window and 2 hinged "push out" windows. Thanks for the contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 casement windows will need drilling (to the existing window frames) to install hinged mosqito net screens that open onto the inside. I am surprised why the property owner has not installed such screen before leasing to prevent mosqitoes from getting into the house after dark. You can notify the owner that you will install the screen using your own money. I am sure he or she will not object.
