Alternatives to fly screen sash hanger?

[rob_g]

Hi team, was hoping for some suggestions for a project, I have single hung sash windows on a property and would like to add some further fly screens to a couple of the windows.

I'm planning to build these using treated pine / screen and have researched a few videos to make this relatively painless. There are a couple of existing timber frames on a couple of the windows, but they have been screwed to the frames and cleaning these windows is a bit of a pain.

I'm seeking an alternate or Australian version to Storm screen sash hangers (image below), usually these would attach at the top of the wooden screen

Then a eye and hook setup holds the bottom of the frame within the window.

Does Bunnings or any other companies sell something similar in Australia? The freight costs are rather exorbitant from the US for such a simple item.

Alternatively I was considering hinges at the top of the windows or a detachable hinge with separate barrel / pin where I could orient these to slide the wooden screens on / off for removal.

Appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance

Hi @rob_g,

I often use Flyscreen Spring Loaded Plunger Pins

For fiddly flyscreen jobs.

Hello @nayan1010 

It appears that the bottom wheels of your sliding door are the ones that need replacing. I suggest lifting your screen door out and looking at the bottom rollers. If you can remove one of them, I suggest bringing it with you to the store and compare it with the replacement sets available. In order to give our members a better idea of what the rollers look like can you please post a photo of the wheel assembly. Once we see it, we'll be able to offer more recommendations.
