String comment = 'How can I install mosquito netting on a European window that opens inwards? I live on the 4th floor, so I obviously can't install it from the outside.';
'>>2783141
Reach outside to put it on? The kits with self-adhesive velcro from LIDL are the easiest shit to install.';
'>>2783141
Did not know they can fly that high.';
'>>2783141
like this ya goof';
'>>2783141
1. if you have external blinds there might be a way to fit a rolling one inside the box
2. a special metal frame can be made that is very thin and window can be closed over it
both options should be done by a professional, tho depending on your level, you might be able to do the 2nd one';
'I stapled the net to the outside inner frame at one of the places I rented.
Like >>2783208
But Velcro works a lot better.';
'>>2783141
Mosquitos don't fly that high retard.
Even the chink ones too out at 2nd story height.';
'>>2783208
that's a big mosquito';
'>>2783269
Other bugs still exist retard';
'>>2783290
for you';
'>>2783141
Wouldn't know. Virtually every window from the last decade here has them like this. Probably you can order some and retrofit them easily.';
'>>2783141
Try to get a metal met and build a frame the fabric ones break very fast';
'>>2783141
the cheap ones that are made of fabric + magnets';
'I've got the opposite problem of installing one on a window that opens outwards, but the handle is bulky and extends past the edge of the frame.
At the moment I just have that magnetic tape around the edge of the window and I pull a fabric mesh taut through it after I open the window, but it's a hassle to put up, a hassle to take down, and a hassle to close the window if it starts raining.';
'1. Check to see if the manufacturer of the window makes their own nets.
2. See if you can screw thin brass semicircles to a generic net and just clip it to the outside of your windows. Depending of your seals this may be the simplest option.
3. Do the same but with some string you can pull taught, so you're tying the net to the inside. You only need the net when the window is open right? Do just run string through the window.
4. Use a 3M permanent adhesive patch mounted on the exterior aluminium to mount the net on fully externally. Glue floam to the net frame so it seals.';
'>>2783141
get a net with frame made to order
those are installed from the inside the home anyway (they are held outside of the window with metal clips that can almost be seen on the pic - I'm too lazy to find a better pic)
I have tilt-turn windows and this method just werks';
'>>2783141
Put a sign in front of your window, " No mosquitos allowed" Those fucking little Dracula's.';
