Putting screens on School bus windows!	Frank	2-22-00
Trying to screen school bus windows and hoping for some good ideas!!!!! thanks for your help!!!
Re: Putting screens on School bus windows!	Jeff G	2-25-00
I went to the local Home Depot type store and got a screen kit which consisted of the alum frame material, plastic corner pieces, screen mesh, and a rubber (plastic?) rope type stuff, that holds the screen to the frame. I also got a tool that seated the rubber stuff. Just cut the frame to fit, slipped it together with the plastic corners, cut the screen to fit and locked it in with the rubber rope stuff. Attachd the whole thing to the bus with some sheet metal screws, and so far so good! It cost me close to $10 per screen, and after doing it, I looked at some old screens that were at a yard sale, and decided that I could have done the same thing with them, just took them apart, cut them down to fit, and re-assemble them, for about 50 cents each! Just have to make sure that they (the donor screens) are larger than what you want to finish up with. They all come apart one way or another, some are easier than others, but if you don't mind messing with them, it sure is a lot cheaper.

ON Coaches we get some used window frames , from donor, and split them apart to make two trim rings that match the orig .Then hot glue your favorite density screening on what will be inside of trim ring and attatch entire ring with half dozen screws to outside of your skoolie windows and enjoy!!!

I used 1/2 Inch door (White pine_ stop in lengths long enough to cover three windows at a time. Two for each side. mitered the ends to fit together and used half inch staples on the screening material and the frames themselves. Used galvanized screws to hold them onto the bus. Not the greatest looking thing but works well. needed a heavier duty screen because I drive it into the woods for hunting...it takes a few hits from tree limbs hopes this helps.

Does anyone make screens for school bus windows? Or do I have to do it myself??
