For windows which do NOT have screens, can you purchase them? While I
will eventually replace the windows themselves, I'm not rolling in cash
and need to find a cheaper solution for the coming summer months. I'd
like to open my windows but currently can't since there isn't a screen to
keep out the buggies.

I don't see a channel for the screen to sit in, so that's why I'm
wondering if its possible or if there are alternatives I've not thought
of


By coincidence, I just saw a thread on another newsgroup. The OP bought
expandable screens to fit *inside* her regular screens. The purpose was
to keep her cats from pushing the permanent screens out, but it sounds
like they would also fit your purpose. She is very pleased with them and
said it only took 4 days to receive them. You can see them at this

This is what I would buy. I think they have them at Lowes and HD. Just
because they aren't on the web site does not mean they aren't stocked in the
store. For sure they are for sale in a hardware store near you.

The price at the site above seems high to me but the convience may be worth
the cost.
