RE: [RC] [RC] Trailer screens - Nancy MittsI custom make trailer screens, there are several ways to do it.Some trailers already have rings attached at the window corners so screens with grommets in the corner can use a double ended snap to attach. Pro: This is very easy to do, easier to measure for. Con: On some trailers, this leaves a gap between the screen and the window edge that can flap, but mostly it allows the horses to nose through the gap, or chew the edge of the screens. Another style uses velcro tabs that attach around a "footman's loop" that can be screwed into the framework around the window. Pro: They can be made to entirely cover the window and generally fit more snug. Typical installation, unless asmall window, has 6 attachment points, 3 down each side. Con: It takes a more carefull measurement for the screen size & tab length. Some trailers do not have a tubing framework close around the window, or it is blocked by a divider, and the attachment points need to be at the top and bottom, not along the side. Either of the above styles can have a zipper up the middle that you can open from outside the trailer. I had one customer order screens without grommets or tab. They gave me exact measurement for the screens so they fit inside the window framework. They installed them with those heavy snaps like they use for an add a room or tonneau cover. I don't know it they could be opened from outside the trailer though.
