I just buy the screen kit at like hd or lowes... It has everything minus screen. Then just buy screen from Brs or goat here... U need the rails, corners and spleen. And roller to put spleen in rails. Very easy. Use hacksaw to cut or any saw for rails

i just built one. Goat585 can get you a great deal on the mesh and you can get the rails, spline and corners on BRS or at your local hardwre. It was amazingly easy. measure the exact perimiter you want and the cut the rails (taking into consideration the distance of the corner pieces themselves) using a hacksaw blade or dremel. Use a rubber mallet to seat everything together. then lay the mesh over it and work the spline in around the edges keeping the mesh ticght and square. You can get a little pizza wheel tool to make that really easy, but a spoon or something would work too. I was pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy it was. Measure twice and cut once for sure though. Good luck and let us know how you do!

And it looks like BRS wants 36.99 for a 3 foot section so 73.98 plus 11.64 shipping
but i need more than just the 4 corner square I need to go around the overflow
on 1 side and return on the other side. So with the extra corners I'm looking
at over $100 for everything, guess I'll have to wait even longer for that fish
I wanted. LOL Unless I can get a better price from every ones leftovers here
that built one.

Don't buy rails at Brs. Goto menards. U can make it right there. They have a little table and what not. I paid like $20 or something for my 48" by 30". For everything

What department is that in so I dont get lost and give up.
You should be able to make one for far cheaper than bulk reef supply. At lowes the framing is around $4 for a 7 ft piece. you will need three. two packages of corners are $3 total and the cording is $5. Total should be about $20. I sell the mesh or bulkreefsupply does. The mesh from me shipped to you is a total of $10 shipped to your door. You should be able to make both your tops for around $30.
At either Menards or Lowes the supplies are with the window screening materials. As for replacement window screen material and you will find framing. If you have any other questions let me know
