Does anyone know, or have link to, the dimensions of the dado cut for use
with fiberglass window screen and the spline that holds the screen material
in place?

Most likely will use PT pine for frame. Would like to know the depth of
cut, distance from inside edge (3/16 ?) and any other information available.

Also if any know the largest square area of a screen which can be held in
place by a spline (wind loading) if that information is available.

Previous owners of home have created small "Florida" screened in deck off of
detached garage with roof. Great for guest to use as smoker's lounge.
Problem is window screens get damaged, and need replacing now and then.
Staple gun OK, but now have hundreds of staples in studs holding up roof.
Looking into options to make screen replacement more convenient.

Plan to use off-the-shelf products at BORG not making the grade due to
non-standard sizes.
