Replacing a Screen in a Wooden Frame

Pry up the screen molding with a small chisel or screwdriver. If the molding is sealed with paint, use a utility knife to cut the paint film and free the molding.

Stretch the new screen fabric tightly across the frame, and hold it in place with staples or thumbtacks. It usually works well to leave extra screen overhanging the frame so you can pull it tightly before stapling. Then simply trim the overhang once it is secured.
