What does a flyscreen installation include?

Flyscreen specialists can help with all aspects of installing and repairing mesh coverings on your doors and windows. Many also offer security screens and pet-proof screens for extra protection. Here’s what you can expect from some of the most common flyscreen services:

Window flyscreen installations

If they’re re-meshing your flyscreen, your installer will start by using a brush to dust any dirt and cobwebs off the mesh and frame, before removing the entire frame to a flat surface. Next, they’ll poke a screwdriver into the frame’s corners to ease out the spline (a long rubber cord that locks the screen in place) and remove the old mesh. Then they’ll unroll the new flyscreen and lay it over the top of the frame, leaving a 10cm overhang. They’ll use a roller to push the spline back in place, locking in the fresh flyscreen mesh. Finally, they’ll trim away excess mesh at the edges before re-installing the window frame. Installing window flyscreens involves different techniques, depending on the window type. But in general, your installer will remove the frame, layout the flyscreen, and lock into place.

Flyscreen door repairs and installations

Installing flyscreens on doors involves a similar process to windows, albeit on a larger scale. Your installer will remove the door frame and lay it flat before rolling out the new flyscreen mesh over the top. They’ll secure the mesh around the edges using a long spline before trimming, then re-fitting your door. It’s worth mentioning that you can choose from a variety of mesh types, including fibreglass mesh (most common and low-cost), pet-proof mesh, aluminium mesh (extra strong), and even one-way mesh (for privacy). Your installer will be able to advise on the best mesh for your budget, environment, and family.

Retractable flyscreens

Retractable flyscreens are a popular option for keeping flies off decks, verandas, and patios. They work like roller blinds, installed so they’re hanging from the edges of your patio roof. Your installer will follow the instructions that come with the kit. But usually, the process involves cutting the parts to fit the size of your space, before installing with a drill.

Install Magnetic Fly Screen Curtain – Sliding Balcony Door - One Visit

$50

Doncaster East, Victoria

27th Apr 2026

I need a skilled and experienced handyman/tradesperson to professionally install a magnetic fly screen curtain to my sliding double-glazed balcony door. I already have supplied my own product. Important: The screen must be installed only across the middle opening section (where the sliding door opens), not across the entire frame. I prefer external (outside) installation, as this may be the best option to avoid interference with the sliding door and handle and to ensure clean operation. I expect the installer to assess and choose the best placement (inside vs outside) and proceed accordingly. Scope of works includes measuring and assessing the middle opening section, preparing the surface for proper adhesion, and installing the magnetic screen using appropriate methods (adhesive strips, Velcro, pins, etc). The screen must be centred, aligned properly, and trimmed if required for a tight, clean fit. The magnetic seam must close seamlessly, with no gaps around the edges, and must not interfere with the sliding door movement or handle. Final testing and adjustments must be completed to ensure smooth walk-through and automatic closure. Requirements: Must have experience with flyscreen or sliding door installations, must have a registered business with ABN, and must hold public liability or professional indemnity insurance. You must bring all necessary tools and installation materials. Important conditions: This is a one-visit job and must be completed in full. No fix, no fee — payment will only be released once the installation is fully functional. If any additional materials are required, I am happy to pay for parts separately, however a valid receipt must be provided for reimbursement. If a return visit is required, it must be included within this task cost and not charged separately. Expected outcome: A clean, secure, and durable installation over the correct opening section only, with smooth door access, strong magnetic closure, no obstruction to the door.
