How to make a mosquito net for plastic windows with your own hands? How to make a mosquito net at home. Mosquito net for windows: choose a ready-made one or make it yourself Rolled mosquito net for windows with your own hands

With the arrival of warmer weather, hordes of insects come back to life and you can’t live without mosquito nets. Only they are able to protect the premises from the ubiquitous insects. And then some copies manage to leak somewhere. But since the nets are for some reason very short-lived, they have to be replaced or repaired. You won’t call a company representative every time and pay pretty decent money for a job that only takes a couple of tens of minutes. That’s why they try to make/repair/install a mosquito net with their own hands.

Types of mosquito nets

• Frame. This is a frame made of metal-plastic profile, on which a mesh is stretched. The mesh is attached to the frame using special fasteners: Z-shaped brackets or plungers. This design is the most common, since at a low price it protects well from insects. The cost of producing a mesh is from 500 rubles per square meter.
• Rolled. They are designed like roller blinds or blinds. A roll of mesh is attached to the top of the window. By pulling the edge, the mesh is lowered and fixed. When released from the latch, it rises up. An excellent device, but the price is from 5.5 thousand rubles per square.

  

  Rolled mesh - good, but expensive

• Swing nets. The mesh is stretched on the frame, but the frame is reinforced, with a larger cross-section than a frame mosquito net. It is most often installed on doors - balcony or entrance, but can also be installed on windows. It is attached to a door or window block using regular hinges. To prevent it from opening due to gusts of wind, magnets are built into it. The estimated cost of this type of mesh is about 2 thousand rubles. per square.

  

• Sliding. These are meshes specifically for sliding window systems. They also have a frame on which the mesh is stretched. BUT this frame moves along special guides that are screwed on from the outside. This way it is possible to move the mesh to the place where the sash is open.

  

  Sliding - aluminum windows based on the same system

• Pleated. The method of action is similar to the roll one, but it is collected not upward, but to the side. There are two guides - top and bottom, along which the mesh that folds into an accordion moves on wheels.

  

  Pleated mosquito net - original and not cheap

As you can see, there are many types. Nevertheless, in 90% of cases frame structures are installed. At a low price, they create a completely normal level of comfort.

Types of fastening frame mesh

Most often, it is frame mosquito nets that are installed. There are two ways to attach them: Z-shaped brackets and rods (plungers).

When mounted on brackets, they are mounted on the street side. In most cases, this is convenient and, if circumstances permit, this installation method is chosen. The dimensions of the mesh must be larger than the light clearance of the window sash: the frame is inserted from the outside.

When using plungers, the mesh is also attached behind the glass, but the clamps themselves (rods) are located on the side of the room. This device is convenient on the first floors: it is impossible to remove the mesh from the outside. When installing a mosquito net on rods, its frame must be equal to the size of the light opening. You can’t do it with millimeter precision, but to ensure there is no gap, a brush is attached around the perimeter. It prevents insects from getting in.

How to measure a window for an order

Quite often, a frame with a mesh is ordered from a company, and installed on the windows yourself. When ordering, you will be asked to indicate the dimensions of the light opening. The required measurements are taken with the sash open. You measure the distance from one sealing gum to the other: width and height. Measure in several places, write down with millimeter accuracy. The accuracy determines how well the grids will fit your window.

Watch how to measure windows to order mosquito stacks in the video.

What you need to know

When ordering or purchasing a mesh for a window, you need to pay attention to its characteristics. Firstly, it is available with different cell sizes: from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm. The smaller the gap, the less likely it is that an insect will “leak through” and the less fluff there will be. But with high density, air also passes poorly, which can be critical in the southern regions. Because best option somewhere in the middle 0.8-1.mm.

The mesh is also available from different materials:

• Cotton. Cotton thread has high UV resistance. Its fleecy structure increases the “retention” ability: insects do not crawl through such a mesh. But since the fiber is natural, it reacts poorly to moisture, is often affected by mold and rot, and therefore is rarely used.
• Polyester. The most common material. It is quite strong and durable, although it has a low price, but does not have any special properties.
• Nylon. A special anti-allergenic mesh is made from nylon. It is produced using a special technology with complex weaving. Due to this, it even traps dust and pollen. Such nets are often called “anti-dust” or “anti-allergy”.
• Fiberglass. It is considered optimal because it has high transparency: when using such grids, the degree of illumination almost does not change. At the same time, its strength is very high - even comparable to the strength of metal. An anti-cat mosquito net is made from fiberglass, which can withstand the weight of the animal and does not tear under the claws.

If no special properties are needed, choose the usual one - made of polyester. Sometimes they may ask what color mesh is needed. The most invisible to the eye is gray, so that’s what you can order.

How to install a frame mesh on a plastic window

You have received a ready-made mesh. It comes with 4 small Z-brackets (brackets). Please note that they have shelves of different sizes: two 4 cm each and two 2.5 cm each. Brackets with large shelves are installed at the top of the frame, with smaller ones at the bottom.

Z-shaped brackets have different shelf lengths

To attach to the frame, each support bracket will need 2 self-tapping screws with a screw, which are also called “seeds”. You will need a marker with a thin lead or a soft pencil. You will need a drill with a 2 mm drill bit and a screwdriver or screwdriver.

Outside window frame draw a strip 3 cm below the edge. We stand on a small stepladder or on a chair, take the frame with the mesh outside the window, and also lean out halfway. Applying the bottom edge of the frame to the drawn line, mark its top.

You can do without manipulating the frame: you need to accurately measure its height and set this value aside from the line drawn below. From the resulting point we put another 1.8 cm up and here we draw a second line. We will use it to align the fastener shelves.

We take brackets with long walls. We apply it so that the protrusion is on the line. You need to retreat about 10 cm from the edges relative to the light clearance. Mark the points where you will need to make holes. We carry out a similar operation with “short” brackets from below. To control, measure the distance between the marks at the top and bottom. It should be 1.8 cm longer than the length of your frame.If everything is correct, drill holes in the profile (2 mm drill) and install brackets on the “seeds”. Actually, that’s all, we can assume that the mosquito net was installed with your own hands.

Now take the net by the handles, turn it slightly sideways, and take it outside. Top edge insert it into the upper brackets, align it vertically, lift it all the way, place the edge behind the lower brackets and lower it. The mesh stands supported by brackets.

She stars in reverse order. Take hold of the handles, lift up until it stops, remove the lower edge from the brackets, moving the mesh a little away from you (a couple of centimeters, no more). Then, moving it down a little, you pull it out of the upper brackets.

Installation on corners

There is another type of fastener, similar in principle to “work” with brackets - corners. When installing this type of clamp for a mosquito net, you also need to accurately measure the width. To do this, you will have to find the center of the light opening, from which to set aside half the width of the grid. The inner part of the corner should correspond to the width of the frame with the mesh with a small gap of 2-3 mm for freedom of fixation.

That is, if there is this type of fastening, they fix the corners and the width should be exactly at the corners. When installing, we leave the same gap of 1.5-1.8 cm in height. It makes it possible to install the frame in the mounts, and is held in place due to the fact that the upper shelves are larger.

Do-it-yourself mosquito net: we assemble it ourselves

As you understand, you can assemble the frame and stretch the mesh yourself. All components can be purchased from companies that sell spare parts for plastic windows. The following components will be needed:

• profile for mesh frame MFP2;
• impost profile ( transverse septum when the mesh height is more than 1 m) MFPI and two mounts for it;
• mesh fabric;
• corners for assembly;
• sealing cord (rubber or even woven);
• handles - 2 pcs;
• self-tapping screws with a countersunk head with a drill, dimensions 3.9*16 mm;

Frame assembly

The frame consists of two long profile sections and two short ones. They are connected to each other using corners. They can be plastic (cheap but short-lived material) and metal, painted with white or brown paint (to match the profile).

They also often install an impost - a jumper, which is installed approximately in the middle of the long side. It increases the rigidity of the structure and prevents long profiles from “playing”.

The lengths of the profiles must be cut taking into account the fact that they are assembled into corners. Therefore, 20 mm is subtracted from the width and length of the light opening (how to measure as described above) - this is exactly the length that is replaced by the corners.

Saw off two sections of the required length from the profiles. It's better to cut hand saw for metal - you get a more even cut with almost no burrs. It is brought to smoothness with a file or sandpaper. Then on a flat surface - more conveniently on a table, laying the profile with the grooves up, fold the rectangle, insert the corner holders - the grooves are also up. In the photo, the grooves are directed downwards, but this is inconvenient - you then have to turn the frame over.

If the corners and profiles match normally, they should be inserted tightly. Very tight. It won't work to put it in place with your hands. You will have to tamp it down, and in order not to damage the plastic, use a lining - wooden block or a piece of chipboard, as in the photo.

When assembling, also check the corners. They must be strictly 90°, or the frame will be oblique, and there will be cracks into which mosquito flies can crawl. After the rectangle is assembled, we install the impost. We saw it off 2-3 mm shorter than the resulting width of the frame, insert holders on both sides, and secure it to the frame in the groove.

Stretch the mesh

We spread the mesh over the assembled frame. It should be 3-5 cm larger than the frame on each side: this will make it easier to tighten. We take the cord and press it through the mesh into the groove. You can start from one of the corners, or you can from the middle of the short side, alternately moving to the right and then to the left.

The cord goes in quite rigidly; in workshops it is rolled up with a roller; if it is missing, you can use any object with a rounded surface. The handle of a stationery or kitchen knife, the holder of a screwdriver, the handle of scissors, etc. will do. While straightening the mesh, insert the cord.

Installation of handles

Having reached the installation site of the impost, we install the handles. Usually they are thin, plastic, inserted into a groove under the mesh, then pressed with a cord. There is a second type of handles - they are denser, sometimes with a metal base, screwed onto the profile with self-tapping screws, but after the mesh has been stretched. If you have a choice, take metal ones or at least plastic ones, but thick ones. The plastic ones are very flimsy and often break.

If during the process the mesh lies crooked, the cord can be pulled out by prying it with a screwdriver or something similar, straightened, and rolled up again. Having finished stretching, check the width and height of the frame at several points. If there are deviations somewhere, it means that the mesh is stretched too tightly in this place. It is loosened by pressing a little with the palm of your hand near the frame. If it is not possible to equalize the width, the cord is hooked and pulled out at some interval. Having equalized the width, holding the mesh, tuck it in again.

If all the dimensions match, you can cut the cord, tuck in the tail, then walk along the profile again, checking that the seal fits evenly. Now the protruding edges can be trimmed. This is usually done using a stationery knife. That's it, the mosquito net has been assembled with your own hands, you can start installing it on the window.

An example of assembly can be seen in the following video. This is an advertising video: the company sells ready-made kits for self-assembly. The process is not detailed enough, but it can be considered in general terms.

Homemade mosquito nets: saving to the fullest

If you calculate the cost of all spare parts and take into account the time lost on purchasing and assembling them, the benefit is dubious. They still sell components to you at a higher price than to companies. It can only be useful in the sense that after self-assembly you can easily repair it yourself.

However, there are quite a few inexpensive options homemade mosquito nets. They are made using a frameless principle and are mounted directly on the window. There are two ways to install this:

• Velcro is a knitted tape that consists of two parts - a tape with hooks and a counter with a rough surface. The mesh is cut out a little larger than the light opening, the counter part is sewn to the mesh, and the part with hooks is attached to the frame around the perimeter of the window with an adhesive layer.
• On the sealing cord. It is inserted in place of the standard seal. To do this, remove it (pry it up and pull it out), stretch the mesh over the opening, and press the cord into the groove. The principle is the same as when installing a mesh in a frame.

For the second way to make a budget mosquito net yourself, watch the video. The idea is great, the costs are minimal.

Replacing handles on a mosquito net

Installing windows is not such a cheap pleasure. That is why many are trying to save on various little things, which include installing a mosquito net. But with the arrival of the hot season, installing this benefit does not seem like a waste of money. You can install such a structure with your own hands.

How to choose a mosquito net?

Before direct installation, you need to select the manufacturer and model. Then you need to measure the window to choose the correct size. It is important to remember the 2 centimeter tolerance at the attachment points. As for the tools, to install a mosquito net with your own hands you will need:

• pencil;
• level;
• self-tapping screws up to 2 centimeters;
• screwdriver

Types of mosquito nets

Mosquito nets for plastic windows have various designs, purpose and appearance. The main functions are:

• protecting pets from accidentally falling out of the window;
• protection from flies, mosquitoes and other insects;
• protection from debris and dust.

Frame removable mosquito net

The most popular type is a removable frame mesh, which consists of a frame frame. This frame is made from aluminum profile, and plastic corners connect the ends of the structure. The mesh itself is made of fiberglass and is held in the frame thanks to a sealing cord. This type is mounted with outside and does not interfere with the operation of the valves at all. In addition, there is the possibility of mounting on a door. The rigidity of the structure is imparted by a horizontal bar, and the handles for installation and dismantling are located under the sealing cord.

Installation technology

• You need to make markings with a pencil: set aside the width from the extreme points, and then connect all the points. The kit usually includes 2 brackets that are needed for mounting at the bottom;
• It is necessary to mark 1-2 centimeters from the top marking line to secure the upper brackets. This is important for correct and convenient installation;
• it is necessary to attach all the brackets with self-tapping screws; for this you will need a screwdriver;
• you need to insert the mesh into the fastenings, and then bring it into the lower corners and lower it down.

"Anti-cat"

This type is suitable for people who have pets and are afraid that they may accidentally fall out. In addition, in the USA this type is also installed on the door to protect their pets. It is mounted on metal or plastic brackets. The frame is made of aluminum profile, and the canvas is black and made of steel or aluminum profile or polyester with PVC braid. “Anti-cat” consists of reinforcing strips or imposts. The installation of this type is no different from the installation of the previous type. The only difference is the fastenings, which must be steel to support the weight of the animal.

Houses with a small square footage often have small windows. In this case, it is best to install rotating mosquito nets. The main thing during their installation is the fastening of the magnet and canopies. There are, of course, distortions, but this is often due to improper installation of the plastic window itself. The following is an installation diagram for both the window and the door.

Installation technology

Using a tape measure, you need to mark 3.6 centimeters on the frame (the width of the canopies is 2 centimeters and the width of the aluminum profile mesh is 1.6 centimeters). Measurements should be taken at the site of future fastenings. Then you need to attach a magnet to the center of the window by gluing it or screwing it with self-tapping screws. Afterwards you need to install all the magnets on the mosquito nets. And finally, you need to check the structure for proper opening and closing. In case of any malfunction, repair is as simple as installation.

Roll design

The most expensive type is rolled. These types of blinds have a blind design: they are twisted and unrolled thanks to a cord, winding handles and a roller. Another distinctive feature is the possibility of repair in the future. The canvas is attached very tightly to the frame, so it protects much better from insects and repairs are quite simple. In addition, this type is quite often installed on the door. These types are ideal for saving space if there is no space to store large enough mosquito nets. The roll is rolled into an aluminum box, which is attached to the top of the plastic window. Consists of a frame and holding strips.

Installation technology

1. First you need to remove the frame, which will expose the location of the fasteners.
2. Then try the mesh on the window, mark the installation location and screw it on.
3. Remove the cover from the retaining bar. This can be done simply: you need to move the mesh up and down, which will help you see the internal fastenings.
4. Install the strip around the perimeter of the window.
5. Install the net with the twist lever.
6. Close the bar with a lid.

Here, in general, are all the rules for installing various mosquito protection products that will provide comfortable conditions in the summer and will protect not only windows, but also doors. In addition, repairing a mosquito net with your own hands is as simple as the installation itself. As you can see, a mosquito net for the windows with your own hands and possible repairs in the future - it's easy and simple!

A mosquito net is assembled from ready-made kits or scrap materials are used for production. When planning how to make a mosquito net with your own hands, it is important to take into account the features of the window design and the nuances of operation.

Before you start making your own protective addition to double-glazed windows, you should understand the types and design features mosquito nets. Models are classified according to the type of attachment to the frame, canvas material and functionality.

Frame type meshes

Frame structures, as one of the most popular types of mosquito repellent devices for plastic windows, are distinguished by high performance characteristics. Products are most often made from PVC or aluminum profiles. Features of frame grids:

• the model is focused on standard double-glazed windows;
• can be installed both inside and outside the light block;
• valued for ease of installation, ease of use, durability, and resistance to climatic influences.

Frame anti-mosquitoes are used when arranging window structures made of PVC, aluminum and wood.

There are 3 types of frame structures:

• model with a soft polymer handle. Fixation is provided with rubber, service life is within 2 years;
• with a hard plastic handle. The model is equipped with special fasteners for installation, the service life varies from 5 years;
• with metal handle. Frame mosquito nets in this category are highly durable, secured with rivets, and can reliably serve for 10 years or more.

Products are made to order according to the overall parameters of the window unit being installed.

If you plan to install a frame mosquito net on a plastic window with your own hands, it is important to take accurate measurements, taking into account the nuances of installation.

Frameless grids

Popularity flexible options anti-mosquito addition to plastic windows is due to ease of installation and operation. For example, a model with adhesive tape can be easily attached to the frame from the outside. The solution is attractive due to its availability, simple and quick installation, and low maintenance requirements.

Burdock versions of protective sheets are easy to dismantle and store in compact form and, if necessary, install for reuse. Frameless nets with fixation on hooks and magnetic fastening are also relevant.

Rolled

Anti-mosquito products in this category demonstrate high functionality and aesthetic qualities. The roller design resembles roller blinds. The box with the shaft is located on the top line of the window system; the roll moves using rollers and guides. The product can be mounted on a frame or in a light opening.

The original design turns the cellular fabric into an effective complement for double-glazed windows of increased sizes. If desired, you can easily choose a model in horizontal or vertical variations. Rolled mosquitoes are presented in a relatively expensive segment. It is also worth considering that the structure is difficult to install on your own; the help of a specialist is required.

Sliding nets

The products are most often made of nylon fabric and aluminum profile. Sliding mosquito nets are relevant in the arrangement of balcony windows, are also actively used as a protective addition to light blocks in country houses. The model is equipped with a system of guides and rollers; the canvas moves laterally. The solution is not suitable for all windows; it is made to order.

Requirements for mosquito protection

Among the key requirements are the service life of the anti-mosquito, design features and the possibility of self-installation. When choosing mosquito protection for your home, consider the following points:

• characteristics of the canvas. In the manufacture of mosquito nets, polyester, cotton, nylon, and fiberglass are used. Synthetic solutions are highly durable, while natural options are valued for their hypoallergenicity;
• cell sizes. The material with very small cells of 0.6 mm provides absolute protection against mosquitoes, midges and other biting insects. This creates an obstacle to air exchange. Since the surface becomes clogged with dust and pollen particles over time, as a result, the fine-mesh mesh practically does not allow air to pass through. Standard cell sizes of protective fabric vary in the range of 1-1.2 mm;
• functionality. When installing window systems in an apartment with pets, the “anti-cat” mosquito model is a priority. The solution involves a high-strength metal cellular fabric that can withstand the weight of a mustachioed pet if it decides to jump out into the street through a window.

If there is a need for protection from seasonal allergens in the form of pollen, poplar fluff, or street dust, choose the “anti-dust” mosquito model with a fabric made of twisted polyester threads.

The optimal type of mosquito net attachment

Mosquito protection is attached to the frame of the window system in various ways:

• on the plunger pins. If the size of the frame corresponds to the dimensions of the sash being installed, installation is carried out using a plunger fastening;
• on the ears. Z-shaped fasteners are pre-screwed onto the frame from the outside, and the mosquito net frame is fixed to them;
• on hooks. The frame is equipped with special elements that, when installing the mosquito, cling to the frame;
• on tape. Adhesive tape is used to attach the honeycomb fabric to the frame of the sliding structure;
• Velcro. Frameless mosquito protection options are secured with Velcro.

The protective system with the “anti-cat” function provides several additional fastenings to ensure safety pet. Optimal view Mosquito fixation is selected individually depending on the characteristics of use.

Options and making a mosquito net yourself

If you plan to make a mosquito net with your own hands, you often use ready-made solutions for self-assembly. The kit for the frame structure includes a set of fasteners, a honeycomb fabric, a seal, a profile, and handles. It is also important to make a structure with your own hands based on a cable channel. To economically install a window system in a private home, it is easy to make a frameless version of the mosquito net.

Tools and materials

To assemble a mosquito net from a purchased kit, you will need the following tools:

• electric drill;
• screwdriver;
• hacksaw for metal;
• tape measure, mounting knife.

The finished set includes:

• frame profiles – 3 pcs. 1.5 m long;
• impost – transverse profile – 75 cm;
• bracket for impost – 2 pcs.;
• corners – 4 pcs.;
• mesh – 1.6x0.8 m;
• rubber cord – 4.6 m;
• handles – 2 pcs.;
• self-tapping screws

The kit is completed with brackets of different lengths for mounting the product on the window frame.

Preparatory work

At the beginning, measurements are taken, taking into account that the quality of a homemade anti-mosquito depends on the accuracy of the parameters of the window opening. If the skylight width is 445 mm with a height of 1250 mm, the correct frame dimensions will be calculated as follows:

• 445-40=405 mm;
• 1250-20=1230 mm;
• The length of the impost corresponds to the width of the opening - 445-30 = 415 mm.

The measurement formula is universal; you can insert the current parameters of the light block and calculate the dimensions of the planned frame for the grid.

Stages of manufacturing and installation of frame sashes

The measurement results are transferred to the profile and blanks are cut in the form of long and short profiles plus an intermediate element - an impost. Next comes the stage of assembling the frame and fixing the cellular fabric using a sealant:

• assemble a rectangular frame using connecting corners;
• fix the brackets and install the impost, aligning it in the center;
• the mesh is applied to the frame from the side where the groove is, and starting from the corner, it is pressed in together with the sealing cord;
• in the process of fixing the mesh into the frame, insert the handle into the groove and press it with a cord;
• Then the fabric is tensioned, pressing the seal along the perimeter of the structure. At the end, cut off the excess sealant and honeycomb fabric.

• points for self-tapping screws are marked in the lower and upper parts of the profile;
• drill holes to a depth of 3 mm;
• carefully fix the brackets with self-tapping screws so as not to pinch the profile.

The homemade structure is pushed into the frame opening, first hooked to the profile with the upper brackets, then the lower elements are fixed.

Manufacturing and installation of frameless protection

When deciding how to make an inexpensive mosquito net for a window with your own hands, you often use improvised materials. Based on cellular fabric and clothesline, it is not difficult to build a protective device against mosquitoes, midges and flies.

Tools and materials:

• nylon mesh;
• synthetic rope d4 mm;
• segment knife;
• roulette.

Sequence of work:

1. The canvas is cut to the size of the sash with a margin of 1 cm around the perimeter.
2. Open the sash and carefully remove the standard seal. Next, it should be washed and stored until the onset of the cold season.
3. The groove is cleaned of dirt.
4. Fix the perimeter of the mesh into the groove along with the rope, starting from the upper corner of the profile.

Stretch the fabric evenly to avoid wrinkles. This type of barrier against mosquitoes and flies is easy to dismantle and put away for seasonal storage, and the window seal can be inserted back into the groove.

An effective repellent against mosquitoes and other small insects- mosquito net. You can purchase a ready-made design, or you can make it yourself. Application modern materials allows you to make mosquito protection for a window from a mesh material that will fit tightly to the window frame and have a neat appearance.

Types of protective mesh

Before starting production, you need to decide what type of mesh is needed. They differ in different parameters:

• by type of fastening - on hooks, Velcro, pins, Z-shaped brackets;
• by type of opening: stationary, removable, sliding, roller;
• by the presence of a frame: on a frame (frame), frameless;
• according to the mounting location: internal or external.

Below we will describe how to make frameless ones - stationary and removable, as well as a mosquito protection option - a mesh on a frame made of a cable channel.

How to make a budget version of frameless mesh?

The simplest version of a frameless mesh made by yourself is stationary. The canvas is simply glued to the window frame. But since the canvas itself does not hold well, you must first sew a strip of material with good adhesion around its perimeter. It can be any fabric tape. If installed on a wooden window, the canvas can be additionally secured with buttons. The advantage of this method is maximum simplicity, the disadvantage is that the mesh cannot be opened or removed to clean it from dirt. That is, after some time it will have to be dismantled and the entire procedure performed again.

The second option is a mesh with Velcro. In order to make it yourself, you will need the following materials:

• anti-mosquito fabric;
• Velcro tape (Velcro, “burdock”);
• construction adhesive.

Part of the tape is attached with construction adhesive to the inner quarter. That is, to the part of the frame to which the window sash is adjacent when closing. The second part is sewn along the perimeter of the mosquito net. Before applying the glue, the area of ​​the frame on which the glue will be applied must be degreased and cleaned of dust. The advantages of this type of frameless mesh are that it is “reusable”; if necessary, it can be opened slightly or completely removed. In terms of cost, it also belongs to the budget option.

To attach Velcro to the frame, it is better to choose a transparent rubber adhesive, such as Tytan, which can then be easily removed without leaving any residue. This is especially important if the window is plastic - rubbing and repainting it like a wooden one will not work here.

DIY frame type design

To make a frame with your own hands you will need the following elements.

• Cable channel rectangular section(15x10 mm). The length is determined based on the outer perimeter of the frame, where the frame will be attached.
• Metal corners (10 mm) – 4 pcs.
• Blind rivets – 16 pcs.

The tools you will need are a metal file and a drill. First of all, the dimensions are taken - height and width. We cut 4 pieces from the cable channel at an angle of 45 degrees and fold them into a rectangle. Having placed the corners on top, you need to drill holes in the profile so that they exactly coincide with the holes in the corners. Then the structure is connected using rivets - and the frame is ready. Please note that when riveting, the riveter must be located outside the cable channel.

After the frame is ready, you need to secure the canvas in it. It is placed over the frame and snapped onto the cable channel cover. To fasten it evenly, without sagging, you need to start fastening along one of the long sides. In this case, you need to make sure that there is no distortion. Then the canvas is secured to one of the following sides of the frame.

It is better to fasten the opposite sides with an assistant, since here you will need to ensure light tension. At the same time, stretching the canvas, making sure that there is no distortion and snapping the bar in place is inconvenient, so an extra pair of hands will come in handy here. A frame-type mosquito net can be attached to a window in different ways. The most common is the plunger type, using Z-shaped brackets.

To avoid the strip snapping off, it is better to additionally secure it with glue. To do this, when the structure is completely ready, you need to apply a small amount of glue into the gap between the cable channel and its cover (bar).

How to choose a canvas?

The main element in any such design is the canvas. It is sold in rolls and by the meter. There are about 30 linear meters per roll. If you need to make 1-2 designs with your own hands, then it is better to buy by the meter. When comparing prices, please note: they can be indicated both per square and per linear meter. In terms of quality, the canvas differs in the following parameters:

• cell size;
• thickness of the canvas;
• material;
• strength.

The last indicator is important for the anti-cat grid. She can withstand the “attack” of a pet; she is not afraid of cat claws and teeth. The most successful material for making anti-cat mosquito nets is polyester with special impregnation.

If there is a cat in the house, then you can only install a frame mosquito net. When installing, you need to take care of additional fasteners - the canvas to the frame and the frame to the window frame. This is necessary so that the animal does not fly out with the net.

The cell size is selected depending on the size of the insects in a particular area and what protection is needed from. The smallest cells have a cross-section of 0.25x1 mm. They protect not only from mosquitoes, but also from small particles of sand and dust. A canvas with cells of this size will also become an obstacle for poplar fluff. To protect from raindrops, the cross-section should be no larger than 1x1 mm.

The material from which the canvas is made is of great importance. It is he who is responsible for color fastness and service life. Most reliable option– fiberglass sheet with polymer coating.

How to make a homemade mosquito net: 3 manufacturing methods

What is better - a purchased mesh or a made one? Several simple ways making a mosquito net with your own hands:

• Frame window screens
• Rolled mosquito net
• Safety nets
• Selecting a canvas
• Restoration of mosquito nets

The easiest way is to make your own mosquito net using appropriate material with small cells and adhesive tape for fastening.

This product will provide protection for the premises for several seasons.

You will definitely need the following components, which can be purchased at retail:

mosquito net with 1.2 mm mesh;
adhesive tape - one side of it should contain lint, and on the other there should be many small hooks;
glue for gluing cork or mosaic.

Surface preparation

Mosquito nets for plastic windows must be installed on a clean, prepared surface. The space is prepared by clearing open windows from dirt and degreasing them inner surface. To do this, you can use a soapy sponge, wiping it with clean gauze.

Considering that the installation is carried out on plastic windows, be sure to use only soapy water for cleaning, and in no case resort to solvents or alcohols.

Laying the tape

After cleaning the surface, separate the adhesive tape. Select the part with the hooks and glue it to the window opening around the perimeter using glue applied to the back side. Make sure that the tape does not interfere with closing the window. It is very important that it does not create difficulties in the joint area between the base of the window and the side where it closes.

It is easier to glue the tape if you do the opposite, apply glue along the entire perimeter of the desired area, and then, without making unnecessary measurements, cut the tape to the required length and width.

Marking and installation

Leave the tape for a while to dry and begin marking the mosquito net. Measure the perimeter of the opening and draw its outline on the canvas. When cutting, leave a margin that will be equal to the width.

You need to fold the overlap around the perimeter, and then sew on the second part of the tape, with the pile facing out. Make a seam from the edge; if necessary, you can make additional stitches in the middle.

After the hook tape is applied to the frame, wait about three hours. Then attach a net with fleecy tape to it. Now you know that making this design with your own hands is not so difficult.

Installation of mosquito net on frame

Of course, the next option is not the cheapest. However, costs can be minimized if installation on plastic windows is carried out independently.

Materials. You need to purchase:

metal corners, the width of which is about 1 cm, a plastic cable channel measuring 15x10 mm, glue,
about sixteen blind rivets,
the canvas itself is the right size.

Frame making

Since this kind of product is installed on the outside of the window, when taking your measurements, focus on this side of the window. Once the necessary data has been obtained, you can begin making the future frame: mark your received data on the cable and cut the required length at forty-five degrees of cut using a file or knife.

Sand the areas where the cut was made with a special sharpening stone. Match the finished polished components of the future frame and connect them with metal corners. Holding them, make holes for the rivet in the finished cable channel, taking into account the holes in the metal corners.

Please note! Insert rivets into the resulting holes. It is important that the rivet device is located on the outside of your cable and not on the inside. If you don't have a riveter, you can use screws and nuts.

After tightening the screws, be sure to cover the nut oil paint to avoid screwing the nut during vibration.

Fastening the canvas to the frame

Having completed the frame, proceed to attaching your anti-mosquito cloth to it. It is better to use a thin mesh to avoid difficulties when clamping it in the cable. Place it on top of the frame so that the edges protrude 2-3 cm beyond the perimeter of the frame, and snap the mesh with the cable channel cover, alternating between snapping the short and long sides.

Be careful before securing the long side.

Don't forget to pull it a little towards the corner to eliminate any sagging - but don't pull it too tight, as this can tear the protective fabric. Once you've finished installing it on the frame, you can trim off any unnecessary excess sticking out.

In some locations, apply glue between the cable and the cover to prevent the cover from opening spontaneously.

How to install a finished one in a window opening

From a sheet of metal, cut two strips of 20x30 and 20x40 mm, bending them in a Z shape. Try to make the bend fit around the channel. Select the shorter side on which to drill a hole for the screw.

The finished fastenings are installed on the street side of the window, retreating about a centimeter from the window opening.

The fasteners are installed using a self-tapping screw, with long fastenings placed at the top and short fasteners at the bottom. The distance between the lower and upper fasteners should exceed the length of the frame by 1 cm. Start installation with the upper fasteners and finish with the lower ones.

Do-it-yourself mosquito net for plastic windows

With the onset of the first sunny days, the issue of protecting your home from flies, mosquitoes, midges and other flying insects becomes urgent.

Useful advice! Owners of wooden windows traditionally attach gauze or mesh to the frame with buttons. And in other cases, a hand-assembled mosquito net for plastic windows can be a salvation.

A frame or roll mosquito net is easy to install and remove and does not require special care and strict rules during operation.

Types of mosquito nets

You can independently make two types of structures:

Velcro;
frame mosquito net.

The first option is simpler and more budget-friendly. Any woman can make and install such a mesh, even without special tools.

This is important! Frame meshes are more practical, they will last for several years, do not deform and retain their basic properties.

To make a mesh with Velcro you will need: fabric with a cell size of 1x1 mm; Velcro tape, on one side of which there is a pile, and on the other there are small flexible hooks-grippers; adhesive for balsa wood or mosaic tiles.

A strip of tape with hooks is attached with glue along the perimeter of the window frame. After this, the required piece of mesh is measured and cut out. The remaining strip of tape with fluffy pile is attached along the edge. It is recommended to attach it to the frame 24 hours after the glue has completely dried.

Making a frame mesh with your own hands

The frame structure consists of the following elements:

net;
painted aluminum profile;
frame fasteners;
crossbar;
fasteners for the crossbar;
plastic fastenings for corners;
rubber sealing cord;
handle holders for installing the frame in the window opening.

At the very beginning, we will tell you how to measure a mosquito net for a plastic window. Measurements must be taken with the window sash open. The height and width must correspond to the light opening. 4.5 cm of the window frame at the top and 4 cm at the bottom should remain free; fasteners for the frame will be installed on them.

Subsequently, when making the frame, it is important to take into account the width of the aluminum profile. His standard sizes– 25 mm.

Assembly begins with the preparation of the aluminum profile. Dots corresponding to the measurements are applied to it with a pencil, and vertical and horizontal slats of the frame are cut out from them. They are connected to each other with plastic corners, forming a frame.

The crossbar should be 50 mm smaller than the width of the mesh in order to be easily inserted between the side vertical strips. The main purpose of this element is to tension the mesh.

In the center of the frame, the mesh can shrink due to tension, and the bar will prevent this.

At first glance, it may seem that a DIY mosquito net for plastic windows is a complex design and only an experienced craftsman with special tools in his arsenal can handle it.

This is important! In fact, when measuring and assembling, you can use available tools: a school ruler, a kitchen or stationery knife, scissors, and a screwdriver and a hammer can be found in every home.

After the frame frame is assembled, you can begin to tension the mesh. To do this, the frame must be turned over reverse side and place it on a stable horizontal plane. A piece of mesh is laid over the frame so that the protruding parts around the perimeter are equal.

Using a screwdriver or other flat thin object, thread the cord into the groove of the profile. It is placed on top of the mesh and holds it firmly inside the aluminum frame. As you work, it is important to stretch the fabric and straighten the folds that form.

Handles for convenient installation mosquito net. They also roll under the rubber cord. The remaining mesh along the entire perimeter of the frame is cut with a blade or a stationery knife, giving the product a finished, neat and aesthetically beautiful appearance.

Installation of frame grid

Before installation, you should prepare the window frame profile. Its surface is cleaned of dust and wiped dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.

For installation, special fasteners are used, which are screwed to the frame with self-tapping screws. There are two fasteners placed on the lower horizontal strip of the window profile; they are slightly smaller in size than the upper fasteners.

For more convenient screwing, you can glue them to the frame with double-sided tape. After the screws are screwed in, it is recommended to process all seams silicone sealant to maintain the waterproof and thermal conductivity properties of the plastic profile.

Do not miss! Electrochromic glasses - what they are and why they are needed

The top fasteners are installed using the same principle. To calculate their location, you need to install the frame with the mesh until it stops on the bottom brackets, mark the height according to the level top bar, then add 8 mm to this figure.

Please note! When installing the mesh into the fastening elements, you should hold the frame by the handles. First, the mosquito net is inserted all the way into the upper brackets, and the lower bar must pass freely over the lower fasteners.

The frame leans closely against window profile, then smoothly descends. If the upper fasteners do not hold the frame securely enough, it is recommended to reinstall them a few millimeters lower.

Removing the mosquito net (for example, to clean it from dust and debris) must be done as follows: holding it by the handles, the frame is lifted up, removed from the lower fasteners, then lowered down and out of the upper fasteners.

How to make a homemade mosquito net: 3 manufacturing methods

Summer brings not only positive emotions and relaxation, because we shouldn’t forget about annoying flies and dangerous mosquitoes that try to fly into an open window.

A mosquito net is inexpensive, but if you consider that there are several windows in the house, then the end result is quite a decent amount, which, if desired, can be saved. A DIY mosquito net can be made quickly and inexpensively.

What is better - a purchased mesh or a homemade one?

Buying a window mesh will cost you about 1,500-2,000 rubles, so to save money, you can make it yourself. Many people wonder how to make a mosquito net for a window? This is not difficult, especially since everything you need can be bought at a hardware store.

If you are interested in the question of what mosquito nets are made of, then the answer is simple - the material is durable fiberglass with the addition of weather-resistant PVC. The higher the quality of the material, the higher the protection against insects.

Before making a mosquito net with your own hands, take careful measurements and do not forget about allowances. If you are going to attach the mesh using Velcro or glue, choose something that can be easily removed and will not damage the window.

Several simple ways to make a mosquito net with your own hands

There are two types of mosquito nets that you can make yourself:

Frame.
Rolled.

Mosquito net secured with adhesive tape

One of the easiest ways to make a mosquito net with your own hands is using special material and adhesive tape.

Take high-quality Velcro; the quality of fastening the protective mesh to the window opening will depend on this. You will also need special material with small cells. The smaller the cells, the better. This material can be purchased at fabric stores, or you can use old products, for example, unnecessary tulle.

Useful advice! It is best to purchase a special mosquito net - it reliably protects against insects and withstands weather conditions.

After all measurements have been taken, take the material and cut it out, do not forget to leave small allowances. Divide the Velcro into two equal parts. Apply glue to one part and carefully glue it to the window opening. After the glue has dried, attach the mosquito net to the adhesive tape. Similar nets can be made for a car.

It is done quickly and easily, with minimal costs. Instead of adhesive tape, you can use special magnets; this will significantly reduce the installation time of the mesh and simplify the process.

Frame window screens

A more expensive and complex method of making a mosquito net is the method with fastening to a frame. To do this you will need metal angles, a plastic cable and pop rivets.

The first thing you need to do is measure the window from the outside, because this is where the mosquito net will be attached. Cut the cable to the required length, maintaining an angle of 45 degrees. Sand the sections and connect them using metal corners.

Now make holes in the corners in which the rivets will be located. They should be on the outside, not inside the cord. Now all that remains is to attach the mosquito net itself to the frame. Do not pull the mosquito net too tightly, as this can deform or tear the fabric.

You can make sliding mosquito nets with your own hands; they will fit well and protect the balcony opening or front door. A mosquito net on the balcony will help you prevent penetration dangerous insects indoors, will reliably protect even from street dust.

The manufacturing technology is the same, the only difference is that the material is cut in the middle and the edges are processed. For convenience, you can attach magnets or rivets to the edges of the mesh, thus providing additional protection.

Rolled mosquito net

Rolled window mesh operates on the principle of roller shutters. It will reliably protect against insects, and it is convenient and easy to use. If you are interested in how to assemble a rolled mosquito net with your own hands, then there is nothing complicated here. You just need to be patient and have the appropriate materials.

This is important! You can make a mosquito net for a window of any size with your own hands. To make a rolled protective mesh, you only need a special box with a shaft and material. To attach the mesh to the window, use special magnetic latches.

You can use screw fastening with an overlap or at the end of the guide in the opening to the slope. It is more convenient to use a rolled mesh than a regular one, and it is much easier to care for.

A rolled-up mosquito net for a window is an excellent protection against annoying insects. Allergy sufferers will especially appreciate this design - after all, it will protect the room not only from mosquitoes, but also from plant pollen and poplar fluff. It is best to choose a fine-grained material for such a mesh, this will increase the level of protection.

Making a mosquito net with your own hands is not difficult. If you need a mosquito net for a balcony or window, you can make it yourself quickly and at no extra cost.

Give this process a few hours and enjoy a quiet life without annoying insects! A homemade mosquito net is quite inexpensive.

After summer, it can be removed from the window and carefully packed, and in next year hang it on the window again.

Homemade and the most cheap option making a mosquito net without using a frame. This option involves attaching the mesh directly to the plastic window profile.

Do-it-yourself mosquito net for the window

There are many devices for such protection. If you decide to save money on purchasing insect repellents or extermination products, then it is worth remembering some very unpleasant moments that may accompany your communication with mosquitoes, mosquitoes and other flying, jumping and crawling brethren.

After all, this is not just tremendous discomfort, the unpleasant sensation of being touched by the wings of an intrusive, ear-cutting sound.

What you need to know about the need for insect protection

Given the current environmental situation and the rapidity of mutations, even familiar, familiar mosquitoes and midges can acquire the most incredible properties and quality. It is worth remembering that for thousands of years insects have been carriers and initiators of a wide variety of diseases - malaria, fevers and other epidemics.

Please note! Huge continents experienced waves of gigantic pandemics that practically wiped out more than half of the population, devastating cities and entire states. What could such tiny creatures do, it seemed? But they are the carriers of swamp fever and other equally dangerous tropical diseases, to which not only the local population, but people of the European race are exposed.

Numerous historically famous travelers and the pioneers and lesser-known “tourists” of the past and present, those who managed to survive after traveling to the tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, America and mysterious Indochina, accurately describe all the horrors of the diseases that were awarded to them by all kinds of flies and mosquitoes. If you have the opinion that this is anywhere but here, then you are completely wrong.

Today, huge masses of the population migrate to areas where such infections are widespread and there is a high probability that after a holiday in Malaysia or Singapore, some tourists will become passive carriers of a wide variety of pathogens.

And that's not all there is to worry about. It is equally interesting that you should also think about your own safety in relation to your body’s allergies. After all, the bite of such an inconspicuous insect can easily cause not just unpleasant sensations, but poses a real danger to life - allergic reactions are very different and very dangerous.

However, all this can be avoided by not only using medications, insect repellents and other chemicals. There is the most reliable and time-tested method in those countries where insects are common - mosquito nets on window openings and doors.

Today it is made of modern materials and has excellent design and elasticity. It not only perfectly protects against midges and mosquitoes, and the annoying fluff that is so annoying when poplars bloom.

Reasons for installing a mosquito net

These days, without exception, all models of plastic windows are offered by manufacturers complete with mosquito nets. So that she does not spoil your mood and does not interfere good review, you need to consult with specialists and choose the right everything that will allow the mesh to be ideal - the color of the canvas and the size of the cells.

Then it is practically invisible and does not pose any obstacle to sun rays and air flows. This is very important in the design modern window, where you can open it slightly or fully while maintaining the tension of the insect net.

Useful advice! This function is very beneficial for owners of homes and offices on the first floors of buildings in big cities and on the main streets.

It is this simple device that has excellent protective function from dust, fluff, small insects and even minor street debris. And on high floors it can save the lives of your beloved pets - from a hamster, a parrot to a cat who loves to relax on the windowsills, watching what is happening below.

Equally interesting is that the mosquito net is easy to install, which makes it also very convenient to place on the door.

Then you will have a calm and peaceful sleep, abundance fresh air in the bedroom, a cheerful mood in the morning and a boost of energy for the whole next day.

In most cases, installing a net against mosquitoes and other insects does not require any difficulties or special skills.

Features of the mosquito net design

No one has come up with anything new for hundreds of thousands of years. Mesh material is easy to use, and modern innovative technologies allow you to create a lightweight fixed-type structural model, which represents a simple frame with a canvas stretched over it.

This is the simplest thing you could do with your own hands to protect against all sorts of unpleasant sensations and consequences of mosquito bites. Making a mosquito net for a window with your own hands is very simple, you just need to study the technology and our manual well, and choose the right materials.

Do-it-yourself mosquito net - manufacturing, assembly, installation

Annoying insects make it difficult to live and sleep peacefully at night during the warm season. They fly into the house through open windows.

Despite the availability of a large number of special sprays and electric mosquito catchers, only a mosquito net can significantly reduce the number of insects.

Today, when replacing windows, you can additionally order this element, which costs money.

How to solve the problem on a budget? In fact, everything is very simple, since a mosquito net can be assembled with your own hands very quickly from available materials.

Safety nets

Before you go to the hardware store for all the necessary components, you should decide on the type of mesh.

They all differ in different parameters:

By type of fastening: hooks, Velcro, pins and Z-shaped brackets.
By type of opening: stationary, removable, sliding and roller.
According to the presence of a frame: framed and frameless.
Attachment location: internal and external.

Please note! Each of the listed types has its own advantages and features, but also disadvantages. All this is important to take into account in order to do right choice and don't waste your money.

Particular attention is paid to the method of fastening, so let’s figure it out: what are the pros and cons?

The frame is very rigid, because it is made of metal with a mesh fabric. Can be installed on both plastic and wooden windows from any side.
The sliding mount is only suitable for aluminum windows, since sliding sashes will be used.

A magnetic mosquito net is a very popular option for those who want to quickly get rid of insects. It is attached to both windows and doors. In the latter case, you don’t have to worry about cross-country ability, since the curtains easily open and close instantly.

Rolled mesh will allow you to conduct effective fight with mosquitoes. The material is easily rolled up and unfolded from a cassette placed above the window.

Simple Velcro is also easy to attach and remove. In this case, the mesh can be washed in the washing machine at any time.

Note! Mosquito nets are installed not only on windows, but also on doors, since mosquitoes and midges also penetrate through them.

Selecting a canvas

The main element of any mosquito net is the canvas. You can buy it at any hardware store per meter or in a roll (approximately 30 m). If you only need to make a couple of grids, then it is better not to spend money and buy the required number of meters. For a larger number of protective nets, it is worth comparing prices: they may differ per square and per linear meter.

If we talk about quality, it is important to take into account several parameters:

cell size;
thickness of the canvas;
material type;
strength.

To create an anti-cat mesh, the strength parameter is very important, since it must withstand all “attacks” of domestic animals. The most ideal option For this purpose, polyester with special impregnation will be used. Additional fasteners are also required.

It is especially important to install such mosquito nets on the balcony.

When determining the size of the cells, take into account the size of the insects in the area that are required. additional protection. Minimum size cross section is 0.25×1 mm.

Such a net can become a reliable protector not only from mosquitoes and flies, but even from sand, poplar fluff and dust. To protect windows and the room from rain, experts recommend a section of 1×1 mm.

Having decided on the materials and made the necessary purchases, you can begin production. How to make a mosquito net for a framed or frameless window yourself will be discussed below. The protection will be the same functional as from production.

Note! The quality of the protective mesh will be determined by the material from which it is made. Recently, polymer-coated fiberglass has become the most popular.

Manufacturing of frameless mesh

This is the simplest and a budget option, which will allow you to make a removable mosquito net for little money. The easiest way to make the protection stationary is to simply glue the canvas to the window frame.

To make it better fixed at the edges, sew a tape of material with high adhesion properties. When it comes to wooden windows, then ordinary push pins can serve as additional fasteners.

Useful advice! There is one significant drawback here - such a mesh cannot be removed for washing.

It's better to put in a little more money and effort to get universal protection. We are talking about a mesh with Velcro.

To make it yourself, you will need the following materials:

anti-mosquito material according to the size of the window;
Velcro tape (burdock - one side with pile, the other with hooks);
construction adhesive.

Measurements are taken along the inner (opening) part of the window with a margin of 1 cm on each side. This size is necessary to fix the future mosquito net.

One part of the adhesive tape is secured around the perimeter of the window using construction adhesive (for example, Titan) or simple double-sided tape. The second is sewn along the entire perimeter of the mesh.

When everything is ready and the glue has completely dried, you can fix the protective sheet.

The entire work process takes a maximum of 2 hours, and as a result, everyone receives reliable protection from insects.

Note! Before gluing the Velcro to the plastic, it should be thoroughly washed and degreased with alcohol.

Manufacturing of frame type mesh

Unlike the previous method, it is somewhat more complicated, but still anyone can handle it. It should be noted that such option will do and for making a mosquito net for the door.

So, to install the frame with your own hands you will need the following components:

cable channel of rectangular cross-section 15×10 cm (the length is determined independently based on the external parameters of the frame where the frame will be fixed);
metal corners 10 mm – 4 pcs.;
blind rivets – 16 pcs.;
thin nylon mesh;
construction adhesive.

Tools:

knife;
whetstone;
pencil;
scissors;
roulette.

Let's move on to the construction of the structure:

This is important! We take measurements of the outside of the window opening. Based on the data obtained, a frame will be made.

Celebrating on plastic box length and width.

Using a knife, cut the vertical and horizontal parts at an angle of 45°. The cut areas are carefully polished with a sharpening stone.

We assemble the structure: we fix the corners with special connecting metal corners with rivets (nuts and screws are also suitable).

We apply a mosquito net with an allowance of 2 cm on each side.

At the top we clamp the canvas with a lid plastic cable channel. During the snapping process, we change the long and short sides. For reliability, we glue some places with glue.

We cut off the excess fabric with scissors.

The finished mosquito net is installed in the window opening using Z-shaped brackets.

Restoration of mosquito nets

An equally important process is restoration, which includes the following main stages:

Removing the frame from the brackets.
Cleaning from dust and dirt.
Removing damaged nylon.
Installation of the repaired mesh in the window opening.

Before replacing any element in the structure, you need to pay attention to how it is fixed and whether it can be removed. Most of the elements on the mosquito net from the manufacturer are fixed with a special sealing cord. If you carefully remove it, the holders can be easily removed.

Please note! Please note! All renovation work carried out very carefully. It is important to remember that you are working with a fragile structure.

As you can see, in order to make a mosquito net with your own hands, you will have to spend 2 or even 3 times less than when ordering a similar design from the manufacturer. In addition, the installation process is quite simple and does not require special knowledge or equipment.
