Hi All,

My daughters room is in the rear 'additrion' of our 1897
solid-9"-brick-walled 3 bed semi-terraced g cottage (therefore it
gets very cold in the winter and hot in the summer).

Her room has a single, largish, opening, dg window (east facing mostly
shaded by the house and next door, top hinged for fire escape) but
won't open it, even on vent because of 'creatures' getting in.

I have thought of making up a frame with some caravan type 'fly
netting' over it but using it with the roller blind that is within the
window reveal atm would be a bit akward to fit / use (and you can't
fit anything directly to the inner frame (as would secondary dg) or it
fouls the window handle).

So, I wondered if anone could think of a way of providing some sort of
fine mesh across, or inside the window reveal that would not get in
the way of the window opener handle at the bottom or restrict egress
in the event of a fire?

I don't think she could have hinged frame on the inner wall as there
would be no room to hinge it left or right because of the unit partly
in front of (under) the window. It can't slide up very far because the
room is partly (by a foot or so) in the rear addition roof (a sort of
45 deg corner on one side of the ceiling).

So maybe an internal mesh (on the inner wall) 'blind' that ran in
vertical guides or something (so creatures can't get past), could be
lifted up enough to open / close the window and be opened (ripped off)
completely to get out quickly if need be ..?

Any ideas please folks?
